Ryan Reynolds canceled surgery on his arm to promote Deadpool 2 in China and hold meet-and-greets with fans in Beijing. The news came shortly after the franchise’s unexpected bow in China.
Last week, Fox announced that a re-cut toned-down PG-13 version of Deadpool 2 would be released in China starting Friday, considered a coup for the gory franchise considering China’s strict censorship standards.
The visit from Reynolds, who is Canadian, comes as China and Canada grapple with diplomatic challenges; in December, Huawei Technologies CFO Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Vancouver, and then China detained two Canadians, a move many observers saw as retaliatory.
Reynolds said he was in “heaven” after arriving in China. “It’s been a dream of mine for years to bring Deadpool to China and Chinese audiences, so for me this is, uh, heaven on earth,” he said.
