They were in London last week to promote the superhero adventure.
And they filmed an ad to be shown in theaters and online.
Deadpool’s Ryan, 47, jokes: “Our characters have spilled countless hot tubs of blood in the name of entertainment, but don’t worry – it’s all fake.”
X-Men and Wolverine star Hugh, 55, adds: “Real blood is harder to come by and that’s why the NHS needs heroes like you to donate.
“Just one hour of your time can save up to three lives.”
Health bosses want more under-35 and black donors to boost blood stocks.
Hospitals in England use three donations per minute when treating patients and during operations.
NHS Blood and Transplant says there is a need for universal donations of type O blood as it can be donated to anyone.
200,000 new donors are needed per year to keep supplies full.
Donor director Mark Chambers said: “We hope film fans feel inspired. Not all heroes wear capes.”
The Department of Health said: “Blood donors are real-life superheroes.”
