Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were in Rio de Janeiro as part of the tour to promote Deadpool & Wolverine, a film that will be released on July 25th next, and they visited the Maracanã. On the pitch of the mythical stadium, they participated in some penalty shootouts with Flamengo players David Luiz and Pedro.
Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, did not do too badly: he converted his powerful shot to the middle to perform a crazy goal celebration that included taking off the shirt he was wearing. He avoided the yellow card because there was no referee.

The Canadian actor, whose country has just achieved fourth place in the 2024 Copa América, is no stranger to football.

For his part, Hugh Jackman also converted his penalty at the Maracanã and celebrated by hanging from the crossbar. On social media, he shared this moment and images of his bicycle ride with the beaches of Ipanema and Leblon in the background.
Emma Corrin, the actress who plays the villain Cassandra Nova in the Marvel film, and director Shawn Levy were also present during the visit to the Maracanã.
