Star-packed 'Deadpool & Wolverine' Festival of Life brings the house down at San Diego Comic-Con

On Thursday Ryan Reynolds returned to where Deadpool all started for him, San Diego Comic-Con, for a blockbuster event: The Ultimate Deadpool & Wolverine Festival of Life.

His costar Hugh Jackman was there, as well as the movie's heavy Emma Corrin , director Shawn Levy and Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige — and a capacity crowd of 6,500 fans, Variety says.

So as to avoid spoilers for the attendees in Hall H, five more stars took the stage after a surprise screening, to get their flowers for their crowd-pleasing parts, which remained secret until many outlets decided it was acceptable to out them.

Reynolds and Jackman reflected on fan reaction footage from the 2016 original got at Comic-Con.

"I was the most nervous human being you would ever see," Reynolds said, according to Variety . "I was stepping into a dream come true in a certain sense, but I remember making that movie for you, and I remember how gratifying it was that everyone else liked it too."

He added of Jackman, "I'll never forget this moment, because this a****** was backstage."

For his part, Jackman recalled "this chant that started up: 'One more time, one more time.' ... I found [the] stage manager, and I said ... 'If you don't play the f******* footage again, they are going to tear Hall H to the ground.'"

Reynolds then played a video snippet from Leslie Uggams , who plays Blind Al in the Deadpool movies, who said, "Can we skip the bulls*** and just show the damn movie?"

After the movie, five other stars appeared, fresh from their secret appearances in the film, including Dafne Keen , who was shown in the final trailer reprising as X-23/Laura.

As for the identity of the other four, well ... Deadpool & Wolverine is now playing at a theater near you.

Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, the parent company of ABC News.
