In the video, Reynolds as Deadpool and Taika Waititi, who voices Kronan rock warrior Korg from 'Thor: Ragnarok' and 'Avengers: Infinity War' come together to check out the trailer for 'Free Guy'. Deadpool comments in his quirky style that Korg was "NOT his first choice" for a guest reactor but "apparently everyone else was too busy over at Disney+". It is important to note that 'Free Guy' features both the actors. Reynolds tweeted the video and wrote, "If you include Deadpool’s cocaine rider, this is the most expensive reaction video ever made." On his Instagram, he wrote. "DP is officially in the MCU! He’s starting with reaction videos, then some social influencer work, onto Parks appearances all leading up to some after-credit work by 2030."

Written by Matt Lieberman and Zak Penn and directed by Shawn Levy, 'Free Guy' release date was pushed several times from the original July 2020 date due to the pandemic. 'Free Guy' became one of the first Fox films to fully progress under Disney ownership after Disney acquired the studio while it was still in development at 20th Century Fox. Meanwhile, Deadpool will officially join the MCU soon sometime in the current Phase 4, reports say. Also, according to Marvel head, Kevin Feige, the next Deadpool movie will arrive with an R rating.

Another commented, "DEADPOOL HAS MADE IT INTO THE MCU AND MET KORG THIS IS NOT A JOKE!!!!" One fan tweeted, "This was amazing Deadpool's first MCU appearance #Deadpool #Korg."

Another fan wrote, "Deadpool has joined the MCU this makes me happy Even if it is just an ad for free guy I still love it."
