Ryan Reynolds has carved out a niche as the slick, joke-slinging heartthrob who delivers punches just as well as punchlines—especially in action comedies. With his sharp timing and devil-may-care charm, he has become the face of witty superheroes, thanks largely to Deadpool. As filming wrapped on Deadpool & Wolverine, Reynolds could not resist taking a little souvenir from the set. A classic move—because let us be honest, would it even be a Reynolds film without a touch of mischief?

Reynolds spilled the tea on the one thing he swiped from the Deadpool & Wolverine set, and Disney’s reaction to him proudly showing it off.

During a May 12 appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Ryan Reynolds shared a funny story about "grand theft" on the Deadpool & Wolverine set. The actor admitted to swiping the Welshpool costume worn by Paul Mullin, a Wrexham AFC striker, Reynolds co-owns, who sported a Deadpool variant with a dragon symbolizing the Welsh flag. Reynolds joked about his heist, but assured that Disney was cool with him displaying the stolen costume at Wrexham’s Racecourse Ground.

Stephen Colbert humorously pointed out that Disney likely did not have lawyers, to which Reynolds playfully responded, suggesting they were not exactly known for being litigious. He then clarified that, despite the joke, Disney had no issue with him taking the Welshpool costume, assuring everyone they were "good" with it. It was all fun and games until Reynolds looked tense.
