Deadpool star and all-around good guy Ryan Reynolds has decided to auction off "Bea," one of Wade Wilson's katanas used on screen during Deadpool 2. On behalf of Ronald McDonald House Charities of British Columbia and Yukon, fans can enter a raffle for a chance to win a package containing the prop katana and a copy of Deadpool: Bad Blood signed by Deadpool creator Rob Liefeld.
Reynolds shared the news on his Twitter earlier this evening, subsequently causing the raffle website to crashh due to a surge in traffic.
This is Bea. She’s one of four swords I used in Deadpool 2. I‘ve signed it. I want to help the @RMHBC and I think you do too... If you want to take Bea home, go to: //t.co/j9s8YHpiI4 pic.twitter.com/oJf0XdOb7t
