Next year, National Geographic is releasing a brand-new unconventional natural history series called “Underdogs”, which tells the story of the heroic underdogs of the natural world – the good, the bad and the frankly ugly.

This new ten-episode series will be narrated by Ryan Reynolds, who will be bringing his distinctive voice and humorous take to the natural world through a groundbreaking partnership that bakes humour into the storytelling from the ground up.

In some beautiful corporate synergy, a new video has been released to promote the new Marvel Studios movie, “Deadpool & Wolverine”, with a clip from the show highlighting a real-life wolverine, with Ryan taking any opportunity to get in a dig at Hugh Jackman!

Check out the “Underdogs/Deadpool” video below:

From their hidden talents to their bold hygiene choices, unsavoury courtship rituals, devious camouflage techniques and “tough love” parenting skills, “Underdogs” will celebrate and champion the unique and unpredictable behaviours of a little-known and surprising cast of animal characters. These overlooked superstars come in all sizes, shapes and smells. They’re the outcasts and the troublemakers, brash, unsophisticated, flatulent, incontinent and often unhinged. But they’re also warriors, team players and evil geniuses. They’re out there 24-7, giving it maximum effort, keeping the natural world in working order for all those showboating polar bears, sharks and gorillas.

From National Geographic Content, “Underdogs” will be produced by Wildstar Films and Maximum Effort. For Maximum Effort, Ryan Reynolds and George Dewey are executive producers. For Wildstar, Vanessa Berlowitz, Mark Linfield and Dan Rees are executive producers; and Dave Denny is series producer.

“Deadpool & Wolverine” arrives in cinemas on July 25th and “Underdogs” will be released on Disney+ in 2025.

Roger’s Take:  This is a great little bit of cross-promotion and also makes those subscribers on the Nat Geo YouTube channel aware of the upcoming movie’s release, plus the clip is just funny and worth checking out for a few giggles!

Are you looking forward to seeing Wolverine return?  Let me know on social media!
