Ryan Reynolds Responds To Being Replaced In Deadpool VR

Article Summary

Last night during the Summer Game Fest 2025 showcase, we got our first look at Marvel's Deadpool VR, and immediately found it wasn't Ryan Reynolds doing the voice. In case you didn't see the trailer, the VR version of the Merc with a Mouth is now being voiced by Neil Patrick Harris, as you'll become the iconic character in VR with his voice in your head. It didn't take long for Reynolds to respond, who was clearly in on the joke, as he released a Doogie Howser parody video this morning. The clip shows him making fun of the idea that Harris took a role from him, so he took one back as he plays the teenage prodigy from the '90s TV series. They even got Robyn Lively in on the joke, the actress who played Howser's girlfriend in the original show. Enjoy the video as the game will be out sometime in late 2025.
