Ryan Reynolds Is In A New Commercial & It Will Give You 'Deadpool' Vibes But In Panda Form

The actor plays a cartoon panda in the ad! 👀

Ryan Reynolds is featured in a new commercial and it's giving us Deadpool energy!

The ad by HighKey, a company that makes keto, gluten-free snacks, shows the Canadian actor playing a cartoon panda who is a door-to-door cookie scout.

The commercial takes a dark turn when the "sugar panda" tries to convince a woman to purchase the sugar-filled cookies that he's selling. 

Reynolds' character, who is seemingly high on sugar, has yellow-stained teeth and a bloody nose. At one point, the panda's heart actually stops beating, likely due to all the sugar.

If you listen closely, the panda's tone of voice and the way he speaks sounds a lot like Reynolds' Deadpool character — and not just because they're voiced by the same actor!
