Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have been hard at work promoting the upcoming Marvel movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, and the pair's latest appearance is in Stray Kids' new music video for “Chk Chk Boom,” in which the actors play a weather forecaster and a news anchor for a fictional network.
In the clip, the band performs the song on rooftops and in the streets before and after the actors' antics (including some very impressive dance moves). “Chk Chk Boom” is the lead single from Stray Kids' new mini-album, ATE, which was also released today. While Reynolds and Jackman appear in this particular music video, Stray Kids actually contribute another song, “Slash,” to the Deadpool & Wolverine soundtrack.
The eight-member K-pop group has had past interactions with Deadpool and Reynolds: In 2021, Stray Kids appeared on the Korean music reality show “Kingdom: Legendary War” and performed a mashup of their hit song “God's Menu” and Blackpink's “DDU-DU DDU-DU” as a homage to Deadpool. This caught Reynolds' attention, and he began a conversation with the band on social media.
Earlier this month, Reynolds and Jackman mingled with musicians while promoting the film in South Korea, with Reynolds posting a video of himself with bandmates Felix and Bang Chan, captioning it, “That's what they say in Seoul: 'Chk Chk Boom.'”

The soundtrack for Deadpool & Wolverine, which hits theaters on July 26, also includes Jackman's own “The Great Show” from The Greatest Showman, Goo Goo Dolls' “Iris” and 'N Sync's “Bye Bye Bye.”
Earlier this year, Stray Kids released the collaborative single “Lose My Breath” with Charlie Puth, part of a very busy year they previewed in January that includes two albums and a world tour.
