‘Wonder Woman’ Star Lynda Carter Teams Up With Fellow Superheros for Charity
In a new fundraising ad for SickKids Foundation (The Hospital for Sick Children), Ryan Reynolds dons his Deadpool costume alongside Kidpool, played by his 7-year-old daughter Inez Reynolds. In the ad, Deadpool and Kidpool decide they want to eradicate sick children, ahem, the sickness from children. In order to do so, they enlist in a little help from Wonder Woman star Lynda Carter.
Deadpool explains, “No, no, no, we’re eliminating the sickness by encouraging people to donate but we’re going to need some help because you and I are technically R-rated and these are kids, sick kids.” Then, Carter appears alongside them and says, “Did someone call for help?”
Don’t need a lasso to say how thankful I am for @sickkids. 💙 @RealLyndaCarter pic.twitter.com/iau85H6zCf

Deadpool jokes, “Aren’t you a wonderful woman?” They ask her to do her famous twirl, which usually would reveal her Wonder Woman costume and Lasso of Truth. However, this time, she appeared in an ugly Christmas sweater that Reynolds had worn in previous fundraising ads for the foundation.

Even so, the trio hops off on a sleigh together, joking that DC lawyers probably had something to do with the sweater. SickKids is the largest charitable funder of children’s health research, care and learning in Canada. The ad ends by saying that Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, will match all donations up to $500,000 made before midnight on Dec. 24.
