“It’s got very Kenergy vibes”: Marvel Could’ve Hit Absolute Gold By Casting Ryan Gosling as Nicepool Due to a Long-Running Gag With Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively
- Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds often engage in playful social media pranks.
- The actress once pranked Reynolds by posting a photo of Gosling on his birthday.
- Considering the meme, Gosling’s casting as Nicepool would have been perfect.
One connection that’s been quietly brewing on internet for years involves two of Hollywood’s biggest stars: Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling. Their names often come up together because they (mostly) look so similar and even share the same first name!
This strange similarity has led to endless jokes and memes. Even Reynolds’ wife couldn’t resist making a meme out of these two. As fans know, the couple is one of the sweetest in Hollywood. However, teasing each other is also their way of showing love—everything is fair in love and war (of teasing).
The Time When Blake Lively Played with the Tale of Two Ryans
Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively are known for their playful jabs at each other. Their funny social media posts always entertain their huge fan base. One particular incident, however, took this friendly feud to a whole new level. When Lively decided to get revenge on her husband for a birthday prank, she didn’t just settle for a petty jab—she went straight for the jugular.
It all started when the actress turned 30 in 2017. The Deadpool star posted a funny photo on Instagram, where he cut half of her head out. He joked in the caption, “Happy Birthday to my amazing wife.”
In response, the Gossip Girl alum decided to get a bit of revenge on Reynolds for his birthday. She posted a picture of Ryan Gosling with Reynolds’ head cut off, captioning it, “Happy Birthday, baby.”

The picture went viral quickly, leading to a flood of comments about the two actors. Many fans couldn’t help but notice the striking resemblance between them. Recently, the idea of Gosling potentially filling a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has emerged. The character in question? None other than the enigmatic and powerful Nicepool in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Ryan Gosling as Nicepool Would Have Been a Perfect Match
Imagine Ryan Gosling playing Nicepool—it might sound unusual, but think about it. The character’s mysterious and brooding persona, combined with the Barbie star’s charm, could have turned this role into something really memorable.
Given the ongoing confusion between the two Ryans, casting Gosling as Nicepool in Deadpool & Wolverine would have been a brilliant move. According to @themooviedweeb, “It’s got very Kenergy vibes,” which would have tapped into meme culture and created excitement among fans. However, another $20 million budget for Gosling might be beyond Marvel’s means.
Deadpool & Wolverine is still screening in theatres.
