The superhero duo appeared on Good Morning America on Monday, where they talked about the upcoming Marvel movie.
The film features Ryan, who plays Wade Wilson/Deadpool, teaming up with Hugh’s character Logan/Wolverine to defeat a common enemy.
During the interview, Ryan, 47, said he had dreamed of using one of Madonna’s songs in the franchise — specifically, Like A Prayer — since filming Deadpool 2.
He managed to arrange a meeting with Madonna to ask permission to use the song, which made him more nervous than usual.
“This was a genuine and unique opportunity to talk to Madonna,” said The Proposal actor.
He added that the Queen of Pop doesn’t typically license her music for films, especially her 1989 hit Like a Prayer.
“I was so nervous, partly because it’s Madonna,” he admitted.
“I asked the person organizing: Do I say Madonna? Should I bow? Is winking an insult? Tell me what to do here when I come in.”
Ryan said the song had been in his head for six years and he knew exactly where he wanted it in the new film.
“I came in on the back foot. I was so nervous it would be a no, but Madonna was kind,” he revealed.
Ryan added that not only was she completely receptive, but the Vogue hitmaker also gave her an idea of how the song could best fit into the scene.
“It ended up being a game changer,” Ryan said.
“Who would have thought that Madonna, of all people, would have such a genius understanding of music and its application to pop culture?” he joked.

EXCLUSIVE CLIP GONE WRONG
During the interview, Ryan and Hugh surprised fans with morning drama when an exclusive clip from the film was shown.
The clip showed the actors apologizing to viewers and GMA hosts Robin Roberts, 63, and George Stephanopoulos, 63.

The scene took place in a diner, where Wolverine was seen rummaging through the refrigerator behind the counter.
The teaser ended with Wolverine punching the outside of the refrigerator door and yelling, “F**k!”

His fans have become notoriously known for rocking the bracelets while attending Eras Tour shows around the world.
