Lively then reshared Reynolds' nearly two-minute behind-the-scenes video showing how he managed to roam Comic-Con unnoticed before revealing himself as Gray Deadpool. Reacting to the now-public stunt, she simply wrote, "My kinda lol surprise."
The lighthearted caption suggests Reynolds' Comic-Con prank may have caught even Lively off guard. While her use of the word "surprise" hints she wasn't in on the plan from the beginning, she didn't reveal exactly when the FaceTime call happened or whether Reynolds had filled her in before making his grand reveal.

Reynolds took his Deadpool chaos to a whole new level, proving that even the world's most recognizable masked superhero can still go unnoticed. The actor secretly stepped onto the SDCC floor, dressed as Deadpool, and spent time among fans without revealing his identity.
Wearing a gray Deadpool suit, Reynolds successfully blended into the crowd as fans assumed he was simply another cosplayer. Little did they know, the man behind the mask was the actual Deadpool.
After pulling off the undercover mission, Reynolds shared a reel on X (formerly Twitter) capturing his hilarious Comic-Con adventure. Celebrating the fans who helped build Deadpool's legacy, he wrote, "The fans got Deadpool off the ground so many years ago."
The actor also opened up about experiencing Comic-Con without the usual celebrity restrictions, writing, “No handlers, no security, no ropes. WHAT A GIFT.” From posing for selfies with fans to meeting cosplayers and celebrating Deadpool's 10-year journey, Reynolds embraced every moment of his surprise appearance.
Sharing his gratitude, he captioned the reel, "Yesterday, 10 years after the first film and exactly 2 years after Deadpool & Wolverine, I felt so lucky to be on the #SDCC floor with everyone whose unapologetic devotion brings so much joy to this world."
