After Twitter user [@AGuyInChair](https://twitter.com/AGuyInChair), who owns the web domains [AvengersEndgame.com](https://www.cameo.com/v/F76ARk6mf) and [AvengersEndgameMovie.com](https://www.cameo.com/v/F76ARk6mf), changed those URLs to redirect visitors to 20th Century Fox’s [website for the _Deadpool_ movies](https://www.foxmovies.com/movies/once-upon-a-deadpool) following the release of the [_Avengers: Endgame_ trailer](http://time.com/5470611/avengers-endgame-trailer-analysis/), _Deadpool_ himself decided to show his gratitude with a gift. @AGuyInAChair took to Twitter on Friday to share photos of the Aviation Gin case —and accompanying gifts inside — that he received from Reynolds. However, he also noted that he was ready to trade Reynold’s offerings to accomplish [his original goal](https://twitter.com/AGuyInChair/status/1071089123140657152) of finagling tickets to the _Avengers: Endgame_ premiere. “Package from [@VancityReynolds](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds) just arrived! Wow! This thing is beautiful!!! And I will trade it immediately for 2 tickets to the [#AvengersEndgame](https://twitter.com/hashtag/AvengersEndgame?src=hash) premiere! Any takers?” he wrote, adding, “Holy crap! There’s stuff inside too! (These have got to be worth two tickets, right?) They’re from Canada! Or a Canadian at the very least!!” But Reynolds clearly wasn’t fazed by @AGuyInAChair’s response. “This isn’t to say I’m proud of what you did,” he replied. “Just that I happen to love you.” > [](https://twitter.com/AGuyInChair/status/1073640601369931776) > [](https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/1073655884780326913) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5481397/ryan-reynolds-avengers-4-troll/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5481397/ryan-reynolds-avengers-4-troll/"},"headline":"Ryan Reynolds Gave a Fellow Expert Troll the Perfect Present","datePublished":"2018-12-17T15:53:31.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:56:28.577Z","description":"Game recognize game","url":"https://time.com/5481397/ryan-reynolds-avengers-4-troll/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Ryan Reynolds","Deadpool"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb722ec6c899396da/698930f8e76ad2aa4b63211f/deadpool-2-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb722ec6c899396da/698930f8e76ad2aa4b63211f/deadpool-2-ryan-reynolds.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Deadpool 2 Ryan reynolds","caption":"Deadpool 2 Ryan reynolds","creditText":"Twentieth Century Fox/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5481397/ryan-reynolds-avengers-4-troll/","name":"Ryan Reynolds Gave a Fellow Expert Troll the Perfect Present"}}]}] ```
