He shared a video clip pulled directly from “The Odyssey,” showing Damon’s character, Odysseus, walking through the woods from behind before stumbling upon a car. The unexpected setup quickly shifted into something entirely different.

Alongside the video, Reynolds shared a warm message congratulating the entire cast and crew of “The Odyssey” for becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. He capped off the caption with a lighthearted joke about the car featured in the clip.
“The Odyssey” boasts a star-studded cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Tom Holland and Matt Damon. The film has now grossed approximately $1.29 billion worldwide.
The milestone marks the biggest box office success of Nolan’s career to date. It’s also inching closer to officially becoming the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever released, a record that would cement its place in film history.
Reynolds’ playful shoutout has added extra buzz to the film’s ongoing success, blending humour with genuine admiration for the achievement. Fans of both franchises have responded warmly to the unexpected crossover, praising the tribute as a fitting nod between two major players in modern blockbuster cinema.
