Ryan Reynolds posted on Twitter a rejection letter his character Deadpool received from Marvel's superhero team, the Avengers.
"No. Absolutely not. Go bother Prof. X. No," the letter, with the subject line "Re: Joining the Avengers," said. The note is signed by Avengers member Tony Stark, also known as Iron Man.
Professor X, as Tony Stark mentioned, is the leader of the X-Men, Marvel's mutant superhero team that Deadpool is connected to.
"From a guy who never knows when to quit, I'm glad you guys never did. Congrats #Avengers," Reynolds said, seemingly in reference to the box office take of the latest Avengers film, Infinity War, which became the No. 1 film in North America by earning $250 million. The number is a new, domestic box-office record for biggest opening weekend, putting Infinity War ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens which earned $248 million in its first week.
