Meta Quest 2 has dropped the trailer for Marvel’s Deadpool VR, starring Neil Patrick Harris as the new voice of Deadpool! And Ryan Reynolds isn’t taking the loss of his crown lightly—he’s making sure everyone knows it.
Just hours after the trailer was dropped, Reynolds clapped back with a parody video, making it evident that he’s not thrilled about the decision.
Reynolds Goes Full Doogie
In the video, Reynolds appears in full nerd mode—glasses, lab coat, and an old-school computer—clearly spoofing Harris’ breakout role in Doogie Howser, M.D.
“Today, I learned a lesson about buttholes they don’t teach you in medical school. People who steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all.”
Channelling Doogie, he types a “journal entry” lamenting his loss. He admits Harris is talented—“the nurturing voice of an angel”—but insists he still feels “totally screwed.”
Enter Robyn Lively (And Pure Chaos)
Robyn Lively, who once played Harris’s love interest on Doogie Howser, makes a surprise appearance. Reynolds calls her “my girlfriend” in character, but she quickly shuts it down:
“You’re a 48-year-old man.”
Reynolds refuses to break.
“I’m a 14-year-old medical prodigy going through the change,” he says.
When he leans in for a kiss, he backs off with a reality check:
“I don’t think we should do that because you’re my sister-in-law.”
Her deadpan reply?
“You’re so dumb.”
Neil Patrick Harris Has the Last Laugh… For Now
While Reynolds clowns around, Harris is suiting up for the real deal. Deadpool VR promises a brutal, expletive-filled experience that’s “not for the faint of heart.” It’s set to launch later this year on Meta Quest 3 and 3S.
Will Reynolds let this slide? Not a chance. But for now, Harris is the man behind the red mask—at least in virtual reality. Watch the full spoof online, and get ready for what might be the pettiest (and funniest) Deadpool rivalry yet.
