Contents

The legendary, decade-long "feud" between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds has transcended Hollywood, evolving into a complex, multi-million dollar business and cinematic partnership in late 2025. What started as a hilarious, social media-fueled rivalry between the actors behind Wolverine and Deadpool has become a masterclass in modern celebrity branding, with their collaboration on *Deadpool & Wolverine* being just the tip of the iceberg. The latest, and perhaps most surprising, chapter involves high-speed catamaran racing, new family drama rumors, and a comic book suit reveal that broke the internet.

The Australian and Canadian-American stars have perfected the art of the frenemy relationship, using their mock animosity to fuel fan excitement for their joint projects and individual business ventures. As of December 23, 2025, their professional and personal lives are more intertwined than ever, confirming that their on-screen dynamic is just a reflection of a deep, albeit aggressively playful, friendship.

1. The Shocking Sports Venture: Co-Owning the Bonds Flying Roos SailGP Team

In one of the most unexpected business moves of 2025, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have officially become co-owners of the Australian SailGP team. This collaboration is a major departure from their usual film and beverage-related partnerships, placing them in the high-stakes world of professional sailing.

  • The Team: The three-time champions have been rebranded as the Bonds Flying Roos SailGP Team.
  • The Goal: The investment aims to boost the team's profile globally, leveraging the star power of both the Australian performer and the Canadian-American entrepreneur.
  • The Dynamic: While Reynolds is known for his successful sports ownership with Wrexham AFC, Jackman’s involvement adds a fresh layer of competitive banter to the SailGP circuit. This non-movie collaboration proves that their partnership is a serious, long-term business strategy, not just a promotional stunt.

This venture highlights a new era of celebrity investment, where stars don't just endorse products but take active ownership stakes in global sports franchises. The duo's joint announcement videos maintained their signature "feud" tone, with each actor playfully claiming more credit for the team's future success.

2. The Yellow Suit Revelation and Wolverine's MCU Future

The most anticipated collaboration is, of course, their cinematic reunion in *Deadpool & Wolverine*. The film has been the subject of massive fan speculation, particularly regarding Hugh Jackman's return as Logan after his seemingly final performance in *Logan* (2017). The latest updates from 2025 have solidified the film's place as a pivotal moment in the MCU.

  • The Comic-Accurate Look: On-set images and official promotional material confirmed that Hugh Jackman is finally wearing the classic, comic-accurate yellow and blue Wolverine suit, a moment fans have waited decades for. This wardrobe choice is a direct nod to the *X-Men* source material and a testament to the film's commitment to fan service.
  • The Supporting Cast: The film features a strong ensemble, including Emma Corrin as the villain Cassandra Nova, and returning actors like Morena Baccarin (Vanessa Carlysle), Rob Delaney (Peter), and Leslie Uggams (Blind Al).
  • Beyond *Deadpool 3*: Despite the film's 2024 release, rumors persist well into 2025 that Jackman's time as Wolverine is not over. Reynolds' influence has seemingly convinced Jackman to keep the claws out for future MCU appearances, potentially setting up a long-term dynamic between Wade Wilson and Logan.

The success of the film has cemented the duo's status as Marvel's most profitable and consistently entertaining pairing. The chemistry between the 'Merc with a Mouth' and the gruff mutant is the core engine driving the current phase of the MCU.

3. The Playful Feud Gets Personal: New Relationship Rumors

While their public "feud" is usually about promoting their respective brands—Aviation Gin vs. Laughing Man Coffee—recent tabloid reports and insider claims suggest a new, more personal wrinkle in their dynamic. The latest gossip revolves around Hugh Jackman's new relationship and the reaction of Ryan Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively.

  • The Sutton Foster Angle: Reports have claimed that Ryan Reynolds is not a fan of Jackman's relationship with Broadway star Sutton Foster. This alleged disapproval has been framed as a "snag" in their famous bromance, with Reynolds supposedly distancing himself from the relationship.
  • The Blake Lively Connection: Further fueling the personal drama, there were unsubstantiated reports suggesting Reynolds and Jackman were present during a confrontation related to Blake Lively's alleged "fat-shaming" claims in April. While unconfirmed, these stories illustrate how deeply the public and media are invested in the *real* nature of their friendship.

Ultimately, these personal rumors serve to blur the line between their public personas and private lives, adding a layer of irresistible curiosity for fans who want to believe the "feud" is more than just a joke. For now, the public consensus remains that their rivalry is a carefully orchestrated performance that benefits both their careers and their shared business interests.

4. The Battle of the Brands: Aviation Gin vs. Laughing Man Coffee

The foundation of their friendly rivalry has always been their competing business ventures. This 'Battle of the Brands' continued throughout 2025, with each actor using the other's platform for humorous, unscripted advertisements.

  • Ryan Reynolds' Empire: Reynolds’ business acumen, highlighted by the sale of Aviation Gin and the success of Mint Mobile, makes him a formidable rival. He frequently uses his production company, Maximum Effort, to create viral, self-deprecating ads that often feature or mock Jackman.
  • Hugh Jackman's Philanthropy: Jackman’s focus is on Laughing Man Coffee, a company dedicated to giving back to the community. He often counters Reynolds' aggressive marketing with a more earnest, yet still witty, approach, often highlighting Reynolds' relentless energy.

This commercial rivalry is a win-win, constantly keeping both actors in the news cycle and driving traffic to their respective products. It’s a genius marketing strategy built on mutual respect and public mockery.

5. The Future of the Frenemies: A Partnership Built to Last

Looking ahead, the relationship between Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds is set to become even more intertwined. Their co-ownership of the Bonds Flying Roos SailGP team is a five-year commitment, ensuring their business partnership will continue long after the *Deadpool & Wolverine* press tour concludes.

Their collective impact on Hollywood and the business world is a case study in modern celebrity branding. They have managed to maintain individual identities while creating a highly marketable joint persona. Whether they are trading jabs on social media, promoting their respective brands, or finally sharing the screen in the iconic yellow suit, the Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds "feud" is the most successful and entertaining partnership in entertainment today.
