Remember the opening credits of the sequel, with the disfigured merc smoking a cigarette and winding up a music box featuring an impaled Wolverine figurine? Bet you thought nothing could top that. Until you watchedDeadpool 3, of course.

The Shawn Levy-helmed threequel, Marvel’s latest Golden Goose, opens with Wade Wilson dancing to NSYNC’s 2000s classic,Bye Bye Byewhile TVA agents get beaten to a pulp. If only it had actually been Reynolds cranking up those fabulous moves.

Ryan Reynolds Isn’t the One Dancing to NSYNC inDeadpool 3

Deadpool’s staggering versatility is one of his many charms. The man can put down a squadron of armed villains, get on Wolverine’s last nerve, make you laugh, AND simultaneously shed tears, all in one go. But if there’s one thing the Regenerating Degenerate can’t do, it’s dance.

Yes, the one cavorting in the snow like a dance maestro with the ’90s boy band filling the background isn’t actuallyRyan Reynolds, but a professional dancer named Nick Pauley.

Not only did Pauley choreograph the number, but he’s also the one dancing to it in Deadpool’s fabled red suit in the opening sequence of the record-setting movie.

“If it looks like the person who’s dancing doesn’t have arthritis, that’s him,”Reynolds, 47, said of the dancer.“I will hang my hat on his talent there and thank him for his contribution and services”(viaAshley & Company).

Deadpool Fans Are Aghast After Finding This Out

Fans seem to be utterly shocked after discovering that it is in fact, not the Canadian actor behind those killer moves inDeadpool & Wolverine, in what marks perhaps one of the most legendary opening scenes in the MCU.

The same is evident from the way people in the comment section of an X post are expressing their disappointment toward Reynolds. Who knew dancing was so serious?

Not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping Ryan had learned all the choreo 🤣

I wanted it to be Reynolds so bad

…it would have better if Reynolds did it himself. Seeing Deadpool dance really good took me out of it.pic.twitter.com/59Ng5eI3jb

As Reynolds approaches the frightening fifties, he appears to be prioritizing his health over stuff like doing his own stunts and dancing vigorously to a full-fledged choreographed routine.

“I think it’s important to do as much of it yourself as you can,”The Hitman’s Bodyguard star once opinedabout pulling off fight scenes and action stunts.“But I’ll step aside when there’s something that’s just too gnarly and there’s a trained professional ready to go.”Cheers to him for looking after himself.
