Reynolds said that they started working on the film 10 months ago, stopping in March with no idea when or if they'd be able to go back onset.

The Deadpool star thanked the "over 300 souls living in a sequestered bubble to make this a reality." He said that the crew went to work "under the most intense circumstances every day" and that sacrifice wasn't just theirs; it was also their family, friends and loved ones "who haven't seen them in months." Reynolds added that not all heroes wear capes, "some wear masks and visors and have cotton swabs shoved up their noses every day."Well, Reynolds was certainly trying to live up to his own hero hype because he took time to thank the Atlanta-based crew by recording close to 400 videos for the crewmembers, families, friends and loved ones, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Reynolds confirmed his gesture of gratitude to the outlet and said that he made videos for crew members' dogs if they didn't have families to thank. A round of appaws for this Canadian hero!“Morale was so low because everyone was in lockdown. They couldn’t go anywhere but work or the hotel. In some cases, their families were at home less than a mile away. I can’t imagine that kind of longing," the 44-year-old actor said. He admitted that it was an exhausting effort, but the videos were "worth every second."Reynolds also sent every crewmember home with a bottle of his Aviation Gin and a personalized note. Who doesn't love a personalized note, especially if it's coming from Green Lantern? “Awesome group of people,” he said. “What they did was so hard.”[video_embed id='-1']RELATED: Ryan Reynolds reveals being Canadian is his ‘greatest asset’[/video_embed]The Vancouver-born actor has been recording messages for many people during the ongoing pandemic. In late March, he found a way to surprise the children at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). He was invited by Fern, SickKids' therapeutic clown, and he was able to visit children via Child Life programming, a daily call show broadcasted to each patient's room. He also took part in a brief Q&A with some of his fans at the hospital. A caller by the name of Isla told him that she had the opportunity to wear his "ugly Christmas sweater." Reynolds wore the sweater to help raise over $300,000 for SickKids in the span of five days last January. The sweaters were recreated and sent around the hospital for children to wear.

Reynolds also recorded a special message for this year's graduating class of Kitsilano Secondary School in Vancouver, British Columbia in May. Reynolds is a former student of the school, and he started his video by mentioning a teacher named Jonah Eckert, a friend of the actor when they went to school together. “When we were graduating, I remember he was super excited because he was going to start a money-laundering operation with the cartel in Southern Mexico,” Reynolds said before adding, “But I guess becoming a teacher was plan B?” He offered a "little chestnut of wisdom" to the grads: practice some form of compassion every day. “Whether it’s for yourself or someone else – especially for someone else is good.”He also shared a simple message for young people across British Columbia in August: don't kill my mom. He posted an audio recording to Twitter discouraging young people from partying and potentially spreading COVID-19. “I hope young people in B.C. don’t kill my mom frankly. Or David Suzuki. Or each other. Let’s not kill anyone. That’s reasonable,” Reynolds said. The recording was in response to B.C. Premier John Horgan who asked Reynolds and actor Seth Rogen to help get the message out about COVID-19. " My mom wants to be out there cruising Kitsilano beach looking for some young, 30-something Abercrombie burnout to go full Mrs. Robinson on," Reynolds joked.
