Not all heroes wear capes: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman urge film fans to come together and give blood.

In an exciting collaboration, NHS Blood and Transport have teamed up with Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine movie to produce a video where the two stars of the film urge people to be a real hero by giving blood.

Go to the Give Blood website to see the video and to book an appointment.

There is currently a national shortage of O Negative and O Positive blood and the NHS are asking donors with the O blood type to urgently book appointments to donate. See here for more information.
