Highlights
As a part of the promotion of their new movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have set a Guinness World Record. The trailer of this movie was released during the Super Bowl LVIII and got 365 million views in the first 24 hours. This is assessed on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ with Alison Hammond where the actors were presented with their formal certificates. Another equally significant angle in the event was the acknowledgment of Reynolds relationship with Wrexham AFC Now the Racecourse Ground in Wrexham Wales is recognized as the oldest international football ground in actual use. This year revels in two great achievements in the spheres of cinema and sports.
A Record-Breaking Trailer
The “Deadpool & Wolverine” trailer became history proving viewers’ interest by collecting 365 million views from February 11th to 12th, 2024. This made the trailer the most viewed movie trailer in the world for the next 24 hours breaking the Guinness world record in the process. The actor with a keen sense of humor that is Ryan Reynolds reacted to this accomplishment with words, “What? One million for every day of the year, that’s awesome.”
The trailer’s success can be attributed to several factors:
- The possible morphing of Reynolds ‘Deadpool’ and Jackman ‘Wolverine’ has been long awaited for.
- Organic placement during this Super bowl which is famous for the commercials.
- The thousands of fans associated with characters and actors
Wrexham AFC’s Historic Ground
Apart from the official trailer record, Reynolds got another certificate in the Guinness World Records concerning his part of being a co-owner of Wrexham AFC. The Racecourse Ground at Wrexham, Wales was cited as the oldest international football ground in-active use. By April 5th, 2024, it had been used incessantly for 147 years and 31 days at least.
As for Reynolds, he seemed to be very happy with this kind of attention and said that this is really important to him and his Welsh roots, the football history of Wales and the attempts to preserve historic stadiums remain an important value.

For this event, Hugh Jackman, the magnificent actor seemed to be more emotional especially because this was his second time to be part of the Guinness World Records. Five years ago, on the same programme, Jackman had been awarded the certificate of the record-breaking 12-year-long career of the live-action Marvel superhero. Speaking in the recent interview, Jackman was nostalgic about his childhood dreams of being in the Guinness Book of Records saying, ‘When I was a kid, the Guinness Book of Records was it.
This new record can be added to the cap of Jackman as he now has a great record in the superhero movies as Wolverine and the audience enjoyed his role a lot.
The Reynolds – Jackman Dynamic
The interview on “This Morning” also helped in telling more about the friendly working association between Reynolds and Jackman on the set of “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Reynolds, who is known for being funny, took humorous shots at Lawrence saying: “Better is actually the legal name of my last co-star.” Such a kind of humor between the actors has in one way contributed to creating suspense for the film.
Implication For “Deadpool & Wolverine”
The views that the trailer has received and the excitement over Reynolds and Jackman make the coming film even better. This achievement indicates:
- The audience interest is high and there are proven chances to achieve high a-box office results.
- The proper use of BBR and PR through actors’ popularity
- Poor adaptation in Deadpool and X-Men movies and integrating those series into the Marvel cinematic universe
- Higher chances of breaking more records when the film will be out.
