Actor Ryan Reynolds sent Dancing With the Stars' Amendola and Witney Carson a video message after their Deadpool dance during Episode 6's Disney Night.
The episode saw viewers fume over Stephen and Rylee's dance, which they claimed was something out of Night 1, Alan Bersten's "terrifying" donkey costume, and especially the "unfair" scoring of virtually every contestant.
Before the really upsetting part of the night — Phaedra Parks and Val Chmerkovskiy's elimination — fans were treated to two team dances from Team Roar and Team Goof.
When it came time for Danny and Witney's dance, they performed a Deadpool & Wolverine-inspired jazz routine.
After their performance, Danny and Witney said they would “freak out” if they heard from either Reynolds or Hugh Jackman.
Days later, as they prepared for their Halloween Night dance, the partners got the unexpected as Reynolds posted about their Disney Night performance on social media.
“We were at rehearsal when [Danny] reposted the first time … Then I posted it separately on my page,” Wintey told Us Weekly.
“And then [Ryan] reposted mine, which was really cool … And then we sent him a video just, like, thanking him for reposting us and giving us credit. It was just really cool. He’s a cool guy.”
According to Danny, the Marvel star responded to their video with one of his own.
“[He] just [showed us] love and [said he] appreciate[d] the support,” Danny shared. “Obviously, Deadpool’s a lot of people’s favorite movie, so it was good to get that support from him.”
The pair’s routine, inspired by Deadpool and Wolverine’s opening fight scene in the movie, earned them a score of 27 points.
Witney’s choreography was set to ‘NSync’s iconic Bye Bye Bye, which was also used in the film.

Danny and Witney are currently still in the running for the Mirrorball Trophy.
Following an Election Night break this week, DWTS will return on November 12 for the show’s 500th episode special.
Reality star Jenn Tran and her pro Sasha Farber were eliminated during Halloween week.
Fresh off her brutual breakup from her fiancé Devin Strader, Jenn says Dancing With The Stars didn’t help her heal.
“I’m going to be real,” she said after her elimination. “This is what I was afraid of. I was like, ‘I’m distracting myself.’”
Jenn’s Bachelorette journey rocked fans when she was the first Bachelorette to propose, only for Devin to break up with her over the phone.
To add insult to injury, Devin quickly followed her former friend Maria Georgas on Instagram.
Jenn and Sasha managed to impress the judges, earning scores as high as 32/40, including their first perfect 10 on Halloween Nightmares Night.
Despite the chemistry and memorable performances, Jenn and Sasha’s journey ended sooner than fans hoped.
Reflecting on her experience, Jenn said the competition was “just a distraction” rather than real healing.
“I am human and I’m processing,” she added.
Still, she’s grateful for the memories, saying: “I wanted to win, so I’m sad, obviously, but also very happy. I didn’t even know that I could do the things that I’ve done. It just feels great to end with a bang.”
Jenn left DWTS “proud of herself” and hinted she’s ready for the next chapter. “I’m a glass-half-full kind of girl,” she said.
