Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds doesn’t play by the rules.

Reynolds has been a STAY ever since Stray Kids‘ Deadpool-inspired performance on Mnet‘s Kingdom: Legendary War.

Since then, Ryan Reynolds and Stray Kids’ leader Bang Chan became fast friends especially. They send each other autographed gifts and frequently show each other support in interviews.

Fans have been hopeful that this friendship would result in Stray Kids joining the upcoming Deadpool sequel, Deadpool & Wolverine. In March 2022, eagle-eyed STAYs noticed Ryan Reynolds liked a tweet in which a STAY proposed Stray Kids do an OST for a Marvel film, specifically Deadpool. Knowing Ryan is also one of the producers, it seemed quite probable that this dream could be a reality.

In December of that year, speculation officially began that Stray Kids would be featured in Deadpool 3 (also known as Deadpool & Wolverine) after the Miss Minutes X (formerly Twitter) account asked for music recommendations, specifically songs by Stray Kids.

For context, it’s been rumored that Deadpool & Wolverine will connect to Marvel’s Loki series. In Loki, the title character is held by an organization called the Time Variance Authority (also known as TVA), which is aided by a character called Miss Minutes. This was seemingly confirmed when Miss Minutes and Ryan Reynolds interacted on X (formerly Twitter).

A few weeks ago, STAYs were speculating again that Stray Kids have an OST in Deadpool & Wolverine after Stray Kids dropped a cinematic trailer for their highly-anticipated July 19 comeback. In the trailer, the members opened a fortune cookie that read, “Your luck no longer lasts from now on.” So, we saw the members continually end up in unlucky situations until they opened another lucky fortune cookie, returning their luck and success.

The end of the trailer showed three logos: one for Stray Kids, one for “ATE,” and another for “Chk Chk Boom.” Many were confused about what “Chk Chk Boom” is. It’s technically the sound of a gun cocking, originating from an old Aussie meme. Considering Felix and Bang Chan are both Australian, it’s definitely a reference to this.

Despite the possible meme origins of “Chk Chk Boom,” some pointed out its similarities to Stray Kids’ Deadpool-inspired Kingdom performance.

Many STAYs hoped Stray Kids’ upcoming comeback is connected to the forthcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. @stayhoooi shared a now-viral thread promoting this theory. Deadpool & Wolverine releases on July 26, which is shortly after Stray Kids’ comeback on July 19.

Many also felt that “Chk Chk Boom” had a very Deadpool-esque sound to the phrase.

The imagery of Stray Kids’ comeback is also reminiscent of Deadpool, including the same color schemes. Additionally, Ryan Reynolds is continually promoting Stray Kids.

Some also pointed out that the end of the comeback trailer features a post-credit scene, much like a Marvel film. Felix was featured with a dog whom he referred to as “Lucky dog.” Even before that, Seungmin‘s pizza was eaten by a dog. In the Marvel universe, a character known as “Lucky the Pizza Dog” was previously featured in the Hawkeye series. He is a one-eyed golden retriever that Kate Bishop (Hailee Steinfeld) adopted.

Now, Stray Kids have officially made their comeback with album ATE and the title track “Chk Chk Boom.” In the first few seconds were some familiar faces beyond the members: Hugh Jackman in his Wolverine costume and Ryan Reynolds as himself. The video also concluded with Reynolds in his Deadpool costume.

STAYs were shocked by the cameos, despite knowing Reynolds and Jackman have become fans and friends of Stray Kids.

Recently, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman even met up with Bang Chan and Felix while the actors were in Seoul for an interview to promote the new film.

In the interview, Ryan Reynolds claimed that Marvel Studios was not even aware of his and Jackman’s cameos in Stray Kids’ “Chk Chk Boom” MV. He said it was “part of the fun.”

Ryan Reynolds: Probably my favorite thing about this is… that Marvel has no idea I did that.

Felix: Really?

Ryan Reynolds: That’s part of the fun.

Felix: Interesting.

This information also shocked netizens. Yet, since Reynolds is a producer, he should be able to have more freedom than most.

While “Chk Chk Boom” did have the cameos from the Deadpool & Wolverine stars, it’s not the OST. Stray Kids will release another original song for the film. Read more below.
