Despite Ryan Reynolds coyly referencing the leak, including sharing suggestive social media posts, no one has ever copped up to the incident. Reynolds even celebrated the fourth anniversary of the leak on X in 2018, writing, “Still searching for the bastard who leaked our test footage onto the internet, causing Deadpool to receive a green light. Taking over the investigation myself. #Angry.”

After Hugh Jackman then reminded Reynolds that he was hooked up to a polygraph machine, a defiant Reynolds quipped, “I just want to remind you that this does not follow the letter of the f***ing law. And if I wanted to break out of this room and destroy everything in my path, I will.”
When the test monitor demanded that Reynolds answer the question he finally said “Well, for f**k’s sakes, I mean, I might have provided an assist.”
While Reynolds noted he didn’t actually upload the footage, he claimed, “I was Scottie Pippen!” suggesting that he was merely a sidekick.
