Reynolds revealed on an episode of "Hot Ones" that he had once planned to promote an intentionally bad-sounding movie called "Alpha Cop" as a ruse. As Reynolds pointed out on "Hot Ones," marketing a fake movie would help with leaks of what was being cooked up for the next Deadpool movie. "Ryan's idea was, the $100-plus million that studios spend on marketing a big Marvel movie, fuck that, let's do 'Alpha Cop,'" Wernick said. There was even an 'Alpha Cop' poster made. "Deadpool & Wolverine" is in theaters now.

CNN —“Chris Evans and Ana de Armas” is about all that’s required to make the sales pitch for “Ghosted,” a spirited if familiar action-based romantic comedy, where the sparring banter generally outshines the muscular stunts. Throw in clever cameos and this Apple TV+ movie delivers on its promise of unpretentious fun. Unlike the needy Cole, “Ghosted” doesn’t ask for anything more than a couple intermittently attentive hours of your time. Thanks to Evans and de Armas, it’s the sort of invitation that’s pretty hard to ignore. “Ghosted” premieres April 21 on Apple TV+.
