Ryan Reynolds Hilariously Just Announced That Hugh Jackman Will Join Him In “Deadpool 3” As Wolverine
Hi, yes, hello. Well, I think it’s safe to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been expanding more than ever before, and with it we are getting to see more and more characters join the MCU.
Well, in typical Deadpool fashion, some of the best news for the upcoming movie has arrived fashionably late, and Ryan Reynolds just announced some amazing casting news.
In a video posted to his Instagram and Twitter, Ryan revealed that he’s been working hard on Deadpool 3, and how he’s been “searching [his] soul” to make sure Deadpool’s first appearance in the MCU feels “special” and “stands out.”
“I have nothing,” Ryan joked when talking about how the film is coming together before saying, “But we did have one idea.”
That’s when none other than Hugh Jackman walks into the back of the frame and agrees to play Wolverine “one more time.”
Cue “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston — or in this case, “I Will Always Love HUGH” — playing over the new logo for Deadpool 3 as well as a release date of Sept. 6, 2024.
This will mark Hugh Jackman’s first appearance as Wolverine since starring in Logan in 2017. In that film, SPOILER ALERT, Hugh’s Wolverine notably died, which raises the question of how he’ll show up in Deadpool 3; however, we have introduced the Multiverse in the MCU, so anything is really possible.
AND, this also adds to the massive hope that more members of the X-Men will officially be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe very soon.
I love the absolute chaos Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will bring to Deadpool 3, and I need it to be 2024 right now.
