Starring Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway and Robert Pattinson, The Odyssey has had a historic run at the box office since its July 17 release, with its domestic cume now standing at $516.3 million. Earlier this month, The Hollywood Reporter reported that the film had surpassed Nolan's 2012 movie The Dark Knight Rises to become the acclaimed filmmaker's highest-grossing movie ever globally .
Ryan Reynolds , known for playing the mouthy mercenary in the Deadpool franchise, took to social media to congratulate The Odyssey and pass the torch. His post included clips from Deadpool & Wolverin e, in which Reynolds' Deadpool coincidentally battles Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in a Honda Odyssey minivan.
"Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of The Odyssey for becoming the highest grossing R-rated movie of all time," Reynolds wrote. "That is one helluva car."
