Deadpool 3: Ryan Reynolds Confirms Hugh Jackman as Wolverine

Ryan Reynolds has officially revealed news regarding the eagerly anticipated third Deadpool film after much rumour in the media and on red carpets. Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, will join the actor/writer/producer for the next film in a video posted to his social media accounts. The actor/writer/producer for the series also confirmed the film’s release date, which is set for September 6, 2024. It’s surprising that the actor could be persuaded to pick up his claws again after hanging them up following 2017’s Logan, but something may have prompted him to think about it, such as the possibility of making a significant contribution to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Reynolds says in the video, “We’re really sorry to have missed D23, but we’ve been working very hard on the next Deadpool film for, uh, a good long while now.” “On this one, I had to truly look deep within. Obviously, his debut appearance in the MCU needs to be memorable. We must remain authentic to the character while discovering additional depth, drive, and significance. Every Deadpool must be distinctive and distinct. It’s been a tremendous task that’s had me dig within myself… I have nothing, you see. Yes, it’s just entirely vacant up here. And frightening. However, we did have a thought.”

Hey, Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time? Reynolds, who is sitting on a couch at his house, cries out behind him at that very moment. The Academy Award candidate then enters the picture from behind him, munches on an apple, and says, “Yeah, fine, Ryan,” as he climbs some stairs. The video, which you can view below, continues with the punchline.

Shawn Levy, the director of Free Guy and The Adam Project, will helm Deadpool 3. Wendy Molyneaux and Lizzie Molyneaux-Loeglin, writers of Bob’s Burgers, as well as Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote Deadpool and Deadpool 2, are allegedly returning to work on the script.

In an interview with ComicBook.com from last year, Reynolds said, “Deadpool, for me, is kind of like an anxiety-inducing tightrope walk.” “I usually feel like I need to improve Deadpool by between 30% and 40% once I’ve got it absolutely right, and I’m speaking from experience with Deadpool 1 and 2.

Even if I’m in a situation where I’m thinking, “This is the perfect moment!” After that, I pause and think, “Okay, this has to be 30% better than it is.” To get it properly, or at least to my satisfaction, is a demanding endeavour. Since Taika [Waititi] and I appear in the film, I didn’t really give it much attention, but I did enjoy the concept of toying with Deadpool and Korg in some of the marketing materials. I had to eventually scratch my itch, so to speak.
