HOLLYWOOD STAR RYAN REYNOLDS HAS TAKEN ON A VERY DIFFERENT ROLE AS HE DELVES INTO THE WORLD OF THE ANIMAL KINGDOM'S "UNSUNG HEROES" AND THEIR WEIRD AND WONDERFUL WAYS OF

SURVIVING. HAYLEY ANDERSON 10:28, 29 May 2025Updated 10:32, 29 May 2025 Ryan Reynolds is set to explore the animal kingdom's underappreciated critters in his forthcoming Disney+ series,

uncovering how "Mother Nature's Z-listers have some of the smartest survival tricks". Renowned for his memorable roles in hits like Green Lantern and Deadpool, not to mention

being one half of It Ends With Us' Blake Lively power couple, Reynolds is taking on a new challenge. He's diving into a brand-new venture as the voice of the five-episode wildlife

documentary series Underdogs, which will shine a spotlight on nature's "unsung heroes" and their quirky methods of enduring the world. Each instalment promises to unpack a

unique element about these creatures, from "bizarre mating strategies" and "superpowers" to their "dubious parenting skills and gross-out behaviours". Fans can

binge all the episodes when they drop together on Monday, June 16, on Disney+, followed by a release on Nat Geo Wild two days later on Wednesday, June 18. READ MORE: Brad Pitt speaks for

captivating never-seen-before footage curated under Reynold's narrations. Subscribers can expect an unprecedented visual adventure, including the debut footage captured inside a

luminescent New Zealand cave, illuminated by millions of sticky, glowing grubs. Adorning the series with striking visuals are some of the top wildlife cinematographers in the industry,

coupled with melodies by none other than Harry Gregson-Williams, the acclaimed composer known for scoring Shrek and Gladiators 2. What's even more exciting is that punk rock band Green

Day are behind the theme tune for the new show Underdogs, which is also the title track on their fresh album Saviors. The song amps up the excitement in the trailer, setting the stage for

what's to come. Ryan Reynolds shared his enthusiasm about collaborating with National Geographic on Underdogs, saying: "Getting to work with National Geographic on Underdogs was a

dream come true - mostly because I can finally watch a project of ours with my children. "Technically, they saw Deadpool & Wolverine but I don't think they absorbed much while

covering their eyes and ears and screaming for two hours. "We're so proud to elevate the unsung heroes of the natural world to the top of the entertainment food chain and

can't wait for everyone to see." Article continues below _THE PREMIERE OF UNDERDOGS IS SET FOR MONDAY, JUNE 16, ON DISNEY+ AND WILL FOLLOW ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, ON NAT GEO WILD._
