The Marvel men are reunited.
Ryan Reynolds made a cameo at Hugh Jackman’s New York City concert, amid he and wife Blake Lively’s nasty legal battle with her “It Ends With Us” Justin Baldoni.
Reynolds, 48, surprised a packed crowd at Radio City Music Hall on Friday when he stood up in the audience for an impromptu “Hugh & A” session during the opening night of the Broadway vet’s concert series “From New York, With Love.”
The show features Jackman, 56, performing songs from some of his most iconic stage and screen roles, including “The Boy From Oz,” “Les Misérables,” “The Greatest Showman” and “The Music Man.”
Reynolds started off the interaction with his signature sense of humor, per People, joking: “I was told this was going to be a comedy version of ‘Les Mis’ as a one-man show. We all said it was a terrible idea but he carried on. I see he’s duped me once again!”
But after a few quips, the Canadian actor took a moment to honor his “Deadpool & Wolverine” co-star with a heartfelt speech.
“This was the first major movie star I ever worked with, 16 or 17 years ago on ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine,’” Reynolds reminisced. “And I was young still. I was impressionable. I was expecting going to this movie set with this guy right here, and I didn’t know, I really didn’t know what was gonna happen. … But what I saw was just about the best thing anyone could possibly experience if you’re working your way up in the industry.”
The father-of-four added that what Jackman was was “a movie star, a capital M movie star…”
“I saw this gentleman right here walk around that set, and just like here, he knew every single person’s name, even though he was making them up half the time,” Reynolds continued. “He showed a kind of courtesy and gentleness and curiosity, and he put value into every single crew member that we were working with.”
The “Spirited” alum called Jackman “my gotcha for life.”
“I mean it,” Reynolds expressed. “And I know we were supposed to finish this bit where these two security gentlemen come and they try to take the mic for me — it’s like a struggle, and then they tase me and I go down, and then they hog-tie me and then they put me in the Radio City music garbage dump, and then they just light it on fire. But I wanted to actually just say, I love this man, I care about this man. He is, he is genuinely the best human being I know. And I have four children!”
Jackman echoed his friend’s sentiments right back.
“I love you, Ryan Reynolds, I love you, man,” the Oscar winner stated, teasing him for placing as his fifth best friend. “Thanks for coming. And thanks for asking for a free ticket, too.”
Jackman also took a moment to touch on the immense gratitude he has for starring in “From New York, With Love.”
“I said thank you at the beginning and I’m going to say it again. You all chose to be here with us on our first night at Radio City,” he began, visibly holding back tears. “I hosted the Tonys here 22 years ago, and my dream was to perform here. Thank you for being here.”
Jackman’s show – which was originally set to be a 12 show run – saw an overwhelming demand for tickets from fans. Now, the actor will be booked and busy for 24 performances over eight weekends this year in April, May, June, July, August, September and October.
Reynolds appearance comes amid a bitter legal battle with Baldoni, 40, who directed and starred opposite of Lively, 37, in “It Ends With Us.”
Baldoni’s attorneys filed a $400 million lawsuit last week, claiming the “Gossip Girl” alum took certain measures to gain control over the 2024 film.
Lively previously filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and his associates in December, making claims of sexual harassment — which included allegedly walking in on her breast-pumping for her newborn and speaking about his past porn addiction — and a retaliatory smear campaign orchestrated by the “Jane the Virgin” star.
