Taking to Twitter Reynolds shared the big news with followers via a celebratory post while also cracking a joke about the release of Taylor Swift’s re-released album Red. Sharing a picture of himself and his co-stars Gal Gadot and Dwayne Johnson the actor wrote: “Wow, Red Notice is Netflix’s biggest ever opening day for a film. Congrats to this whole team!
