Marvel has released the “Van Jamz” tracklist for the soundtrack to the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which includes songs from The Goo Goo Dolls, Aretha Franklin, and the wickedly talented John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. I don’t know for sure if this is the first time those artists have all been on the same album together, but I’m guessing so.
Anyway, one of the soundtrack highlights is “The Greatest Show,” from 2017’s surprise box office hit The Greatest Showman. This means that a song from one Hugh Jackman movie is another Hugh Jackman movie, and that Zendaya and Zac Efron technically “appear” in Deadpool & Wolverine. Zendaya’s big year keeps getting even bigger.
You can see the tracklist below.

Ryan Reynolds, a name synonymous with charm, wit, and a remarkable career in Hollywood, has become a household name over the years. As of 2023, his net worth is estimated to be a staggering $350 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. This impressive figure is a testament to his successful career in the entertainment industry and his savvy business ventures.
Reynolds’ journey to fame and fortune is a classic tale of perseverance and talent. Born in Vancouver, Canada, he started his career in the early 1990s with television roles. His breakthrough came with the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl. However, his role as the titular character in Deadpool catapulted him to international stardom. This role showcased his acting skills and his ability to connect with audiences through his unique blend of humor and action.
Diversifying Beyond Acting
What sets Reynolds apart in the realm of wealthy celebrities is his acting prowess and astute business acumen. He has diversified his portfolio by investing in various ventures. One of his most notable investments is in Aviation American Gin, where he played a significant role in the brand’s explosive growth before selling it in a lucrative deal. This move demonstrated his ability to not only act but also to understand and capitalize on market trends.
Reynolds’ wealth is a measure of his success and a tool for his philanthropic efforts. He has been involved in various charitable activities, contributing to causes ranging from health to environmental conservation. His personal life, including his marriage to actress Blake Lively, also garners significant media attention, adding to his overall brand value.
The Impact Of Deadpool
Deadpool was a game-changer for Reynolds, both financially and in terms of his career trajectory. The film’s success led to a sequel and solidified his position as a Hollywood actor. The franchise’s success contributed significantly to his net worth. It proved that a well-chosen role can tremendously impact an actor’s financial and professional life.
Reynolds’ business ventures extend beyond Aviation Gin. He has made smart investments in technology and media companies, showing a keen eye for promising opportunities. His endorsement deals, including those with major brands like Hugo Boss and Samsung, also contribute to his wealth. These endorsements add to his income and enhance his visibility and marketability.
Looking ahead, Reynolds shows no signs of slowing down. With several projects in the pipeline and his continued involvement in various business ventures, his net worth will likely continue growing. His ability to balance acting with business ventures makes him a unique figure in Hollywood who has successfully leveraged his fame and talent into a diverse and lucrative career.
Ryan Reynolds’ estimated net worth of $350 million reflects his multifaceted career and business savvy. From his early days in television to his rise as a Hollywood A-lister and successful entrepreneur, Reynolds has demonstrated a remarkable ability to evolve and succeed in a competitive industry. His story is one of talent, hard work, and strategic thinking, making him a successful actor and a true mogul in the entertainment world.
It’s no secret that Taylor Swift is a pop-culture tsunami, washing over everything that she touches. When she recently appeared at a NFL game touting a massive entourage that notably included Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy, the rumor mill kicked into high gear with hopes that Swift would cameo in the film as Dazzler. In the X-Men comics, Dazzler is a mutant pop singer with the ability to convert sound into light and energy, and Taylor Swift is a pop singer with the ability to convert fans into mass hysteria, so this should be a no-brainer.
The calls for Swift to appear in Deadpool 3 were so strong that Levy couldn’t escape the subject during a new interview with The Wrap. His answer was notably coy:
“They sure are loud,” Levy said of Swift fans clamoring for her to play the musical mutant. “I’m going across the board. ‘No comment’ because that’s a double whammy. That’s Taylor-related. And it’s MCU-related. I’m no dummy. You’re going to have to wait and see.”
If all of this sounds familiar, that’s because Swift’s history of being dream-cast as Dazzler goes back nearly a decade to X-Men: Apocalypse. Thanks to her well-documented friendship with Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner, Swift visited the set of the film, which naturally, kicked the Dazzler rumors into overdrive. While Swift doesn’t appear in the film, Turner’s Jean Grey and Tye Sheridan’s Cyclops do visit a record store where they find a Dazzler album. There was speculation that Swift posed for the cover, but a source squashed that rumor.
The Swift as Dazzler rumors briefly fired up again for the next X-Men film, Dark Phoenix, which did include Dazzler’s live-action debut. However, the role was played by The Orville star Halston Sage.
Could Deadpool 3 make the Taylor Swift as Dazzler fancast a reality? The chances are pretty high. For starters, Ryan Reynolds is some sort of powerful genie who already brought Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine. The guy is pulling all kinds of rabbits out of a hat. Deadpool 3 will also dabble in the Multiverse, which makes a Swift cameo even easier. She can simply play Dazzler from an alternate reality, freeing Marvel to cast another actress down the road.
Although, maybe Swift wants to be the official pop star of the MCU? Surely, Kevin Feige wouldn’t say no to that.
Taylor Swift brought along several celebrity friends to attend Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs’ game against the New York Jets on Sunday night. It marks the second time that the pop star has come to support Kelce. Several other stars were in attendance as well including Jeremy Strong, Sabrina Carpenter, and Hugh Jackman.
The NFL’s social media accounts shared clips of Swift in attendance throughout the game. NBC also used Swift’s song, “Welcome to New York,” to promote the game in a TV spot.

The appearance from Swift comes after Kelce was spotted leaving her apartment, earlier in the day after a sleepover. The star tight end finally opened up about their relationship during a recent episode of his and his brother Jason’s podcast, New Heights. “Shout out to Taylor for pullin’ up; that was pretty ballsy, that was pretty ballsy, yeah. I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. You know?” Kelce said.

He further said: “The friends, the family. She looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in a great light. And on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course. We script it all, ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive. It was impressive. To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high-fives with mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there, that sh*t was absolutely hysterical, and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.” Check out Swift at his latest game above.
Despite being seen as a front-runner to buy the Ottawa Senators, Ryan Reynolds is reportedly dropping his bid ahead of the May 15 submission deadline. Reynolds had partnered with real estate mogul Chris Batty to prepare a bid reportedly worth $1 billion. His bid was one of seven reportedly in the race to buy the Senators after the death of long-time owner Eugene Melnyk last year. Melnyk had owned the team since 2000.
According to sources, the Reynolds-led Remington Group bid left the process after being denied an exclusive 30-day window to secure an arena deal in downtown Ottawa. This suggests that the Habs would have left Canadian Tire Centre if the group had secured ownership of the team. The only stipulation the NHL has implemented about the sale is that the new owners must keep the team in Ottawa.
However, the departure of the presumptive front-runner leaves the bidding war wide open. The NHL board were “very impressed” when they met Reynolds and appeared eager to have him buy the Senators. Galaioto Sports Partners, who are overseeing the sale, have declined to officially say how many bids they expect to receive. But of the ones that are public, there are obviously pros and cons to each. Sparks’ Hollywood-backed bid has the potential to bring major star power to Ottawa. However, it is also the least Canadian of the public-revealed bids. Conversely, many of the other bids are being led by wealthy Canadians but lack the star appeal of Hollywood. In a way, that’s what made Reynolds the perfect potential owner. However, all we can do now is wait and see who officially submits a bid before May 15.

Snoop Dogg on ice? Not really. But he may hit Canada for a few more hockey games as he has joined an ownership group that is targeting a purchase of the Ottawa Senators.
According to The Athletic, Uncle Snoop has aligned with Neko Sparks, who has been chasing the hockey franchise since January 2023. If successful, Sparks would become the first Black owner in NHL history.
Sparks won’t be just with Snoop, he also has Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a member of the ownership group.
The Senators are not short of suitors, additional bidders include a group led by actor Ryan Reynolds and real estate mogul Christopher Bratty who are looking to bring together $1 billion to buy the team.
The Ottawa Senators finished this season with a 39-35 record and 86 points.
Of all the names you’d expect to see in a bidding war over a National Hockey League team, Snoop Dogg and Ryan Reynolds might not be the unlikeliest, but the news is sure to raise at least a few eyebrows. The Athletic reports Snoop has joined an ownership group bidding on the Ottawa Senators opposite Ryan Reynolds’ group, which is reportedly bidding $1 billion for the club and supposedly includes its own musician, The Weeknd. Snoop’s proposed partner in the investment, an indie film producer named Neko Sparks, wants to be the NHL’s first Black owner.
With Snoop as his partner, that goal could be within reach; Snoop’s sweeteners for their deal include his services as an analyst — Chance The Rapper’s recurring SNL character Lazlo Holmes springs to mind here — as well as a rinkside fixture throughout the 2023-2024 season. Certainly, the opportunity to see Snoop in person could boost attendance; likewise, his hilarious sideline commentary at previous hockey games has spawned numerous memes, which could help viewership of televised games.
On Instagram, Snoop reiterated his interest, writing, “Amazing what Neko Sparks is trying to do in Ottawa & I’m looking forward to being a part of that ownership team. I wanna bring hockey to our community.” He already sponsors youth football in his hometown and loves taking part in basketball, boxing, wrestling, and even video gaming events, so if anyone has both the clout and the experience to get Black people watching hockey en masse (again, see Lazlo Holmes), it’s Snoop.
