The cast of the original “X-Men” trilogy had their Zoom reunion crashed by Deadpool himself, Ryan Reynolds, along with Sophie Turner and James McAvoy.
In a sketch for Global Citizen, the Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman began by telling Halle Berry (Storm), Patrick Stewart (Professor X), and Famke Janssen (Jean Grey): “It’s kind of surreal guys – can you believe it’s been 20 years since the first ‘X-Men’ movie?”
Berry, Stewart, Janssen, and Jackman all starred in the first three “X-Men” movies in 2000, 2003, and 2006. They were catching up as part of Global Citizen’s Global Goal: Unite for Our Future on Saturday, which celebrated healthcare workers.
Reynolds than entered the Zoom chat, and Jackman told him: “The cast and I were just reminiscing about the movie that we were all in together.”
Reynolds highlighted that he, too, is a former "X-Men" star, having appeared in 2009's "Origins" alongside Jackman. The "Deadpool" actor then introduced Turner and McAvoy, who starred as younger incarnations of Jean Grey and Professor X in several of the prequel movies, including last year's "X-Men: Dark Phoenix."
Turner, who also played Sansa Stark in HBO's "Game of Thrones," joked: "I actually thought that this was a 'Game of Thrones' reunion."
The stars then quickly left the Zoom chat, leaving a disgruntled Jackman and Reynolds by themselves. Reynolds said: "You know what that makes this a reunion for?"
Liev Schreiber, who played Sabretooth in "Origins," then joined the chat:"'X-Men: Origins,' reunite! Yeah," Schreiber said.
