Ryan Reynolds brings forth one of his most iconic characters to the forefront for the holiday season in the new SickKids Foundation ad. He plays Deadpool and stars alongside his daughter Inez who played Kidpool in the recent Deadpool and Wolverine movie. Lynda Carter, who plays Woman Woman in the 70s also makes an appearance.
The video is playful and sees Deadpool and Kidpool stepping into the role of Santa while embodying a heartfelt ask for donations that are directed to the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The two tackle the mission of 'eliminate sick kids' slogan that may garner some confusion. Reynolds has been an ongoing advocate for the SickKids Foundation, which is the leading pediatric hospital in Toronto.
