Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds humorously claim they’re merely “and others” next to Taylor Swift, Blake Lively

Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds don’t feel quite so bejeweled when Taylor Swift and Blake Lively are in the room.

At the world premiere of their new film Deadpool & Wolverine on Monday, Jackman and Reynolds joked about their relative lack of fame compared to the pop superstar and the former Gossip Girl actress.

“If you ever really want to kinda not feel great about your career, go to [an NFL] game with Taylor Swift and Blake Lively — and then you’re ‘Blake Lively, Taylor Swift, and others’ at the game,” Jackman joked to PEOPLE. Reynolds piped up with “we’re just ‘and others’” to agree with his costar.

Reynolds and Lively — who have been married since 2012 and share four children — and Swift and Jackman were all on hand to watch the Kansas City Chiefs game together on Oct. 1. It was one of many highly publicized outings made by Swift in particular, who attended in support of her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who is a tight end for the NFL team. (Swift has been close friends with Reynolds and Lively for many years.)

As for whether or not they might attend a game in the future — the new season kicks off officially for the Chiefs on Sept. 5 — Jackman and Reynolds both expressed interest in doing so.

“Oh, I hope so,” Jackman told PEOPLE, while Reynolds replied, “You don’t say no to that.”

Though the appearance last fall may have (jokingly) made them “kinda not feel great about” their careers, it did get tongues wagging that Swift was in Deadpool and Wolverine, especially given that the film’s director, Shawn Levy, was also seen at the game with the group.

In the months after, Levy and Reynolds played coy, opting to neither confirm nor deny their friend’s involvement — or lack thereof — in interviews, with Levy telling Entertainment Weekly in April, “I regret that I was not quicker to shut it down the first time, so I’m going to default to my very true situation, which is as much as we love each other, the fear of death is so intense in me regarding Ryan and how he desperately wants to avoid talking about all of these proliferating rumors.”

However, in June, a source confirmed to EW exclusively that Swift was not in the film, though there are plenty of surprises still being preserved for theaters. Returning characters from the past two Deadpool installments include Vanessa (Morena Baccarin), Blind Al (Leslie Uggams), Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Yukio (Shioli Kutsuna), Colossus (Stefan Kapičić), Peter/Sugar Bear (Rob Delaney), Dopinder (Karan Soni), and Shatterstar (Lewis Tan).

Deadpool and Wolverine opens in theaters this Friday.
