Ryan Reynolds takes a leisurely walk in New York City alongside his close friend and Deadpool 3 director, Shawn Levy

Ryan Reynolds strolls across New York City with Shawn Levy, the director of Deadpool 3 and his closest buddy.

This week, Ryan Reynolds and fellow Canadian Shawn Levy, 55, who directed Deadpool 3, were spotted together in New York City.

The 47-year-old Adam Project star wore dark slacks and sunglasses with a bright pink pullover.

More appropriately attired for the autumnal season, Levy wore trousers, a knee-length coat, and a scarf.

The two me𝚗 have been sighted together a lot; they even paid Bradley Cooper’s home a visit recently.

Hugh Jackman, 55, Taylor Swift, 33, and Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively, 36, joined them.

The Wolverine star is the driving force behind the A-List bromance between Reynolds, Levy, and Jackman, who are all great friends.

“It’s all because of Hugh,” Levy said to People, mentioning that he first got to know the Australian actor in 2011 while working as his director on the movie Real Steel.

It is what he foresaw eleven years ago. He told me, “I’m friends with this guy Ryan Reynolds, and if you ever meet, you guys are going to never stop working together again.” I can still clearly recall his words.

This has been demonstrated by the fact that the two Canadians collaborated on Deadpool 3, The Adam Project, and Free Guy.

Since college, I haven’t genuinely been close to any friends. He said, “Me𝚗 don’t usually make a lot of friends.”

However, the two individuals I chat about real life  shi𝖙 with are Hugh and Ryan. As dads, husbands, and males, we get together. It has been an absolute blast working together, and now we get to do that.

The three are not only very close friends, but they also live next door. After twenty years in Los Angeles, Levy and his wife moved to New York City because he had told her that they would eventually reside in the Big Apple when they first met.

Living close to your pals is the best. Whether we’re working out together or taking a walk down the Hudson, I can watch them move huge objects and then lift much less of them. It’s a really pleasant friendship, he remarked.

Levy also thinks highly of his pal Ryan.

“Ryan is a genuine marketing genius and a creative fountain.” That’s just his superpower. Thus, Levy said The Hollywood Reporter, “He’ll pitch ideas to me and the studio when he gets them.”

People tend to overlook the fact that Ryan is not one of these movie stars that cowers behind a thick wall of publicists and agents. He answers the phone and places the call.

He puts forth the effort and rolls up his sleeves to finish the job. And we clicked right away for another reason: that’s exactly how I perform my job.

May 2024 was the planned release date for the newest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe series.

Deadline claims that the movie is unlikely to be released on May 3rd though, given it was barely halfway completed when the Screen Actors Guild walkout in July interrupted production.
