Any fan of comic book movies would be hard pressed to pick a favorite sequence from Tim Miller's Deadpool. The film is jam-packed with hilarious moments, but one of the most noteworthy is the entirely NSFW "Calendar Girl" scene in which Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds) and Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) celebrate every major national holiday with a hilariously "athletic" sex montage. As many of you already know, yesterday was International Women's Day, and Ms. Baccarin decided to honor the holiday by referencing Deadpool's hilarious calendar joke about the holiday at Ryan Reynolds' expense. Check it out below to see for yourself.
We're sure that picture will either make you cringe or laugh -- or both. Although the image is a bit fuzzy, it's quite obviously a shot from the "Calendar Girl" Deadpool scene in which Vanessa puts on a strap-on to honor International Women's Day. It's a moment that generated a ton of laughs in theaters when the film debuted, but it also seems to have resonated with audiences as well. We're not sure if it was intentional or not, but the International Women's Day joke has taken on a life of its own and become one of the most progressive jokes from the entire film.
Considering the way Ryan Reynolds' already portrays himself on social media, we have a very distinct feeling that he is just fine with the joke. After all, have you seen some of the insults and general mockery that he regularly sends Hugh Jackman's way? What goes around comes around, and he seems like a pretty good sport about it.
We will have to wait and see whether or not we will receive more sex montages like this as the Deadpool franchise presses forward into the future. Morena Baccarin is not officially listed as a member of Deadpool 2's cast on IMDB yet, but it would make plenty of sense for Vanessa to return in the sequel. The recently released teaser for the next installment featured numerous Firefly posters in the background, which seems like a not so subtle hint that she could return -- given the fact that she played a significant role on that short-lived series.
Of course, considering Deadpool's utterly insane fourth wall breaks, this could simply be another Easter egg. Let's hope Vanessa returns, and let's hope that she eventually becomes the X-Men character known as Copycat.
We will bring you more information related to the development, production, and release of Deadpool 2 as more details become available to us. The film is currently slated to hit theaters in 2018.
