Fans went into a frenzy when Ryan Reynolds shared a video on his social media. Reynolds, who starred as the foul-mouthed superhero Deadpool in the Marvel film series, shared a funny teaser video that showed him at home struggling to come up with ideas for Deadpool 3. In the teaser, Hugh Jackman confirmed he will reprise his role as Wolverine in Deadpool 3.
At the end of the clip, Ryan admits he has one great idea that fans will love. Hugh then calmly enters the scene in the background and walks up the stairs. Ryan asks him, “Hey, Hugh. You want to play Wolverine one more time?” Hugh casually replies, “Yeah, sure, Ryan,” as he walks past and up the staircase. Marvel fans on social media get excited over the announcement, with one writing, ‘Thank you for coming back,’ while another wrote, ‘Bravo, Hugh!’
Ryan also revealed Deadpool 3 release date in the video. The film is set to hit theatres on September 6, 2024. For the unversed, Hugh first appeared as Wolverine in the 2000 movie X-Men and went on to play him in various sequels and spin-offs until 2017. The actor last stepped into the shoes and claws of Wolverine in Logan five years ago. After that film’s release, the Australian actor said he hoped to play Wolverine in an Avengers movie one day.
In a previous interview, Hugh shared, “Every time I saw an Avengers movie, I could just see Wolverine in the middle of all of them like punching them all on the head.” The actor added, “But it was like, ‘Oh well, that’s not going to happen.'” Hugh holds a Guinness World Record for ‘longest career as a live-action Marvel superhero’ having played Wolverine for 17 years.
