"We’re Nickelback, experts in navigating irrational hate in the face of tremendous success" Nickelback have defended Deadpool & Wolverine against haters and “anyone thinking about even criticising the film.” The Canadian rock band – comprised of Chad Kroeger, Ryan Peake, Mike Kroeger, Daniel Adair – took to their official social media accounts to share a video of them promoting the third instalment of the Deadpool film series and defending it from any kind of hate. Dressed in Deadpool and Wolverine masks, frontman Chad Kroger says: “We’re Nickelback, experts in navigating irrational hate in the face of tremendous success.
We have an important preemptive message for anyone thinking of criticizing the film Deadpool & Wolverine or Ryan Reynolds.” The ‘How You Remind Me’ singer then goes on to list off the film franchise’s list of accomplishments, including that the first two Deadpool films grossed over $1.5 billion at the box office, and awards that the franchise has one such as two Critics Choice Awards, four MTV Movie & TV Awards, one GLAAD Award, a People’s Choice Award, two Teen Choice Awards and more.
A post shared by Nickelback (@nickelback) Kroger then went on to add: “As for Mr. Ryan Reynolds, just look at this photograph. That is a beautiful Canadian man right there,” before a photo of the actor is shown while the band’s 2005 hit track ‘Photograph’ plays in the background.
