Ryan Reynolds had an impressive six-year action movie streak going, but a new action film with rave reviews surprisingly brings it to an end.
Ryan Reynolds has become one of Hollywood’s biggest action movie stars, but a new 2024 film breaks the actor’s six-year streak. Reynolds has been a regular action movie star for nearly two decades, mixing in original ideas and franchise plays during this time. He’s leaned further into action-comedies ever since Deadpool became a massive success in 2016, allowing him to launch The Hitman’s Bodyguard’s franchise and have other potential franchise starters with Red Notice, 6 Underground, Free Guy, and The Adam Project. He even voiced Pikachu in Pokémon Detective Pikachu to further his franchise possibilities.
In addition to headlining franchise sequels and possible new ones, Ryan Reynolds also has a habit of appearing in cameos in other action movies. They can either be simple jokes or appearances meant to set him up for a return in potential sequels. This is why he’s made a cameo in movies like Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, Bullet Train, and Ghosted. This has made the chances of Ryan Reynolds showing up in various action movies a bit more expected, especially when frequent collaborators and friends are involved. But a new movie snaps one of his streaks.
The Fall Guy Is David Leitch’s First Movie Since Deadpool 2 Without Ryan Reynolds
Reynolds Had Cameos In Leitch’s Two Previous Movies
David Leitch and Ryan Reynolds started working together in 2018 with Deadpool 2, as the John Wick producer was tapped to direct. The Deadpool sequel became a massive success, earning strong reviews and over $785 million at the worldwide box office. This marked the beginning of a collaboration that would continue even though Leitch did not return to direct Deadpool & Wolverine. Reynolds still managed to make cameos in Hobbs & Shaw and Bullet Train after working with the director on Deadpool 2. This made it seem likely that Reynolds would appear before The Fall Guy’s ending in some capacity.
The Fall Guy’s cast is headlined by Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, but it also includes appearances from Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Hannah Waddingham, Winston Duke, and more. Based on the trend of Ryan Reynolds appearing in David Leitch’s movies, the odds of another cameo happening were thought to be high. The film’s official release means it is finally confirmed that Ryan Reynolds does not have a role in The Fall Guy. As a result, the six-year trend of Reynolds appearing in Leitch’s movies is broken with the critically acclaimed 2024 action film.
The Fall Guy Had The Perfect Opportunity For A Ryan Reynolds Cameo
The Fall Guy Had A Different Surprise Actor Cameo
What makes The Fall Guy breaking Ryan Reynolds’ cameo streak all the more surprising is that the movie had the perfect opportunity to pull it off again. In the final moments of the film, the trailer for the fictional movie Metalstorm is shown and reveals the actor who replaced Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Tom Ryder. This is where Jason Momoa cameos in The Fall Guy as a version of himself who is the new lead actor in the romantic sci-fi/action film. It would have been easy for Ryan Reynolds to be the meta cameo in The Fall Guy to continue his and Leitch’s collaboration streak.
