Ryan Reynolds Has Choice Words For Joker Cast And Crew

Joker is officially the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, and the star of previous champ Deadpool had a couple of choice words about the development.

The reliably hilarious Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram to post a mock poster for Joker offering congrats on behalf of himself and, well, the subjects of past R-rated box office smashes. If you are at all familiar with Reynolds, you already have a pretty solid idea of what to expect, and we can say with certainty that you won't be disappointed.

Reynolds tagged Joker director Todd Phillips in the image, and captioned it:

"R-Rated box office congratulatory posts aren't like the ones you're used to."

No, we should say not, and neither are congratulatory posts from Deadpool, whom we all know is A) kind of insane and B) in no way a fictional character as long as Reynolds is breathing. There are superhero actors who embody their roles, and then there is Reynolds, who probably sleeps in his costume and has an unhealthy relationship with his katanas.


For those keeping score at home, the movies Reynolds refers to at the bottom of the poster are, in order: Deadpool, The Matrix, It: Chapter One, The Passion of the Christ, Logan, The Hangover, 50 Shades of Grey, and Ted.

"Highest-grossing R-rated movie ever" becomes the latest in a long line of superlatives bestowed upon the Joaquin Phoenix starring Joker since its release, which already include "biggest October opener of all time," "Golden Lion award winner," and "odds-on Oscar favorite." Of course, since they have a slightly narrower audience, it's a little tougher for R-rated films to do the kind of bonkers box office that, say, Marvel Studios' PG-13 offerings often do. No R-rated flick has ever broken the billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office, but Joker might very well be the first. In order to even get close, it's done away with some pretty formidable competition, as Reynolds pointed out in his uniquely smartass fashion.
