Ryan Reynolds is Scheduled to Appear in Connecticut This Evening

What do you do when you're embroiled in one of the juiciest scandals that Hollywood has seen in recent years? If you're Ryan Reynolds, you make an appearance in Connecticut.

Yale University is one of our nation's most prestigious, and it's commonplace for the biggest names in entertainment to show up and speak about their chosen profession. Just over two years ago on February 17, 2023, Paul McCartney, an honorary degree holder from Yale, made an appearance on campus to speak with students about the magical lyrics that he and John Lennon wrote during their time with the Beatles. McCartney's grandson also Arthur Donald attended Yale in 2021.

Tonight (Wednesday, February 26, 2025) two of the men responsible for three hit movies that have brought in more than $1.6 billion dollars worldwide are set to appear. Ryan Reynolds and producer Shawn Levy, the actor/producer duo behind Deadpool & Wolverine, Free Guy, and The Adam Project on Netflix will appear together at an event at Yale's Woolsey Hall on Grove Street in New Haven to speak about their collaboration and the evolving art of cinema.

Reynolds and Levy co-wrote and co-produced Deadpool & Wolverine, which went on to rake in the biggest box office opening for an R rated movie ever and become one of the top-grossing movies ever.

Before you go searching for tickets, the event was free, but it's sold out. The organizers did put up a signup sheet for a waiting list, but that is also closed down as I'm writing this.
