Ryan Reynolds and lynda carter Team Up for SickKids Holiday Fundraiser
This holiday season, Ryan Reynolds combines Marvel mischief and DC nostalgia for a good cause. The actor stepped back into his Deadpool persona for the sixth time to support the SickKids Foundation’s fundraising campaign for The Hospital for Sick Children in Canada. The clip, which also stars Kidpool and Wonder Woman legend Lynda Carter, delivers humor and heart to inspire donations.
The video opens with Deadpool lounging next to a festive sleigh loaded with Kidpool, played by Reynolds’ daughter Inez. As the Merc with a Mouth ponders their next move, he quips, “I thought we’d eliminate sick kids,” prompting Kidpool’s incredulous response: “That’s pretty f—ed up.” Deadpool clarifies his mission to fight sickness by encouraging donations, acknowledging their R-rated personas might require outside help.Cue the arrival of Lynda Carter. A flash of light signals her dramatic entrance as she kneels in the snow, donning her iconic Wonder Woman poise. “Did someone call for help?” Carter asks, prompting Deadpool’s cheeky reply: “Aren’t you a wonderful woman?” Breaking the fourth wall as usual, he stares directly into the camera.In the spirit of collaboration, Deadpool and Kidpool ask Carter to perform her signature twirl from her Wonder Woman TV days. She obliges, only for the move to hilariously transform her outfit into the infamous ugly holiday sweater Reynolds has sported in previous SickKids campaigns.Beyond the humor, the campaign has a heartfelt goal: to raise funds for child health research, education, and care. The SickKids Foundation is Canada’s largest charitable organization supporting pediatric healthcare advancements. Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, aim to amplify contributions by matching every donation up to $500,000 through Dec. 24.The festive collaboration follows a history of creative fundraising efforts by Reynolds, including past appearances with stars like Seth Rogen and Michael Bublé. This year’s Marvel-DC crossover adds a unique flair to the campaign, capturing both nostalgia and holiday spirit while rallying support for a vital cause.
