“Please let them know if you would like The Academy to honor the incredible efforts of stunt teams throughout the entire industry,” the actor exclaims.

Ryan Reynolds believes that the Academy should include an Oscar for Best Stunt Team, if only to honor the extensive network of seasoned professionals he collaborated with on the largest live-action film of the year, “Deadpool & Wolverine.”

In a lengthy social media statement on Wednesday, Reynolds said, “I hope that someday, there will be a category at the Oscars for stunt work.” This year, a ton of movies have done incredibly well. In addition to being filmmakers, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, and Charlie Chaplin were stunt performers. utilizing their whole body to narrate stories.

That’s when he drew special attention to the crew on the MCU’s first R-rated action romp, saying that they “over-delivered” and joking that he’ll “spend the rest of my days doodling their names in my Heidi Stationary, dotting all the ‘i’s’ with little hearts.”

“I’ve worked with Alex Kyshkovych since the very first ‘Deadpool,’” Reynolds, who stars, co-wrote and produced the film, said. “He not only doubles me — he’s the fight coordinator. I’d take a sledgehammer to the face for Alex. Or rather, I’d ask Alex to take a sledgehammer to the face for Alex.”

He continued: “Second unit director/supervising stunt coordinator George Cottle is a HUGE GET. You’ve seen his genius in ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ along with a ton of other gems. His s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁 is world class and he made the entire film better. I’d let Alex take a rusty fork to the eye for George.”

The actor then turned praise back on his co-star Hugh Jackman, who’s played Wolverine across “X-Men” franchises for 24 years and is known for performing many of his own stunts — a feat that Reynolds gushed was “mind boggling.”

“It’s mind boggling how much Hugh Jackman does himself, but Daniel Stevens steps in for the truly dangerous stuff. He’s been ‘Wolverining’ a long time,” Reynolds wrote. “As we know, Wolverining is HARD. I’d ask Alex to eat the crab salad I left on the dashboard for three straight days for Dan. Huge shoutout to Andy Lister for bringing a new and insane Wolvie gear to the Deadpool Corps fight, as well.”

Reynolds concluded his call-to-arms via X post by encouraging his followers and fans of “Deadpool & Wolverine” to let The Academy know that they agree and it’s time for a stuns Oscar.

“If you’d like to see The Academy recognize the amazing work of stunt teams ACROSS THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY, let them know!” he exclaimed.

The “Deadpool” star isn’t the only Ryan this year to put his formidable star power behind the grassroots make-an-Oscar-for-stunts initiative. A huge part of Ryan Gosling’s press tour for the stunt-heavy “The Fall Guy” centered around his endorsement of the effort.

“Obviously this a love letter to the stunt community, they are the hardest-working people in show business,” Gosling said at the film’s April premiere. “They risk more than anyone. This movie is just a giant campaign to get stunts an Oscar.”
