It\u2019s a movie that sees Reynolds take some major jabs at his massive co-star, but Reynolds admitted it\u2019s not the sort of thing he would do under any circumstances in real life because The Rock could kill him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Appearing at the Toronto International Film Festival in support of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/ryan-reynolds-posted-celeb-filled-145456992.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:the John Candy documentary John Candy: I Like Me;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">the John Candy documentary <em>John Candy: I Like Me<\/em><\/a>, which he produced, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DONB5Loknoo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ET;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ET<\/a> pointed out that Dwayne Johnson was also at TIFF promoting <em>The Smashing Machine<\/em>, and reminded the comedian of the time Reynolds\u2019 character compared DJ\u2019s head to a penis. Reynolds laughed and said\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"mb-4 border-l-2 pl-5 italic text-tertiary\">\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">It was terrible! No, I was just messing with him because, you know, he could beat the crap out of me with his eyelash, so I will only say something as long as I think I can get away with it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Dwayne Johnson usually comes across like a guy who can take a joke, as Reynolds said, he could absolutely destroy most people without even having to try. So while poking fun at him probably wouldn\u2019t get you killed, you need to make absolutely sure that The Rock is going to get the joke and won\u2019t get upset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">While Ryan Reynolds didn\u2019t write <em>Red Notice<\/em>, there\u2019s a decent chance, like many of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/news\/2456279\/deadpools-mask-makes-it-really-convenient-to-write-for-the-character\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:jokes in the Deadpool movies;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">jokes in the <em>Deadpool<\/em> movies<\/a>, that Reynolds came up with this jab himself. What\u2019s unclear is whether Dwayne Johnson knew what his co-star was going to say. Johnson likely approved of the joke, which is one way to make sure he won\u2019t hurt you. Check out the scene in question below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Of course, remembering the time that Ryan Reynolds completely roasted his co-star in <em>Red Notice<\/em> makes one wonder when we\u2019re going to get to see more of that. <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cinemablend.com\/streaming-news\/looks-like-netflix-is-planning-a-red-notice-sequel-with-a-twist\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Red Notice 2 was announced;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \"><em>Red Notice 2<\/em> was announced<\/a> following the first film\u2019s massive success, but we\u2019ve heard very little about it since then.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One of the possible reasons for that is that the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/just-found-much-dwayne-johnson-161957275.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:cost of Red Notice 2 is likely to be quite high;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">cost of <em>Red Notice 2<\/em> is likely to be quite high<\/a>. Johnson, Reynolds and fellow co-star Gal Gadot made a reported $80 million together on a film that had an estimated budget of $200 million. Compare that to something like <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>, which cost something like half as much, and yet ultimately saw more views. <em>Red Notice 2<\/em> would have to guarantee a lot of <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/tech.yahoo.com\/streaming\/articles\/netflix-subscription-plans-price-included-174717448.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Netflix subscriptions;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">Netflix subscriptions <\/a>to justify its cost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Whether <em>Red Notice 2<\/em> would become the most watched movie ever on Netflix or not, the first movie\u2019s success with audiences indicates a sequel would at least be warmly received. Ryan Reynolds would get a chance to poke fun at Dwayne Johnson again without risking getting killed for it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
