Hugh Jackman is returning as Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3,’ Ryan Reynolds says
LA TimesIt’s finally happening: Longtime frenemies Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are reuniting onscreen for “Deadpool 3.” Reynolds announced Tuesday on social media that Jackman will return as Wolverine for the highly anticipated Marvel film, coming to theaters Sept. 6, 2024. “Sure, Ryan.” Reynolds’ announcement comes about five years after Jackman last played Wolverine in “Logan” and allegedly retired from portraying the character. On- and off-screen, Reynolds and Jackman have been engaged in a pretend rivalry that dates all the way back to 2009’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” which features a fight sequence between their two characters. “Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one,” Reynolds captioned the Jackman casting announcement, which racked up more than a million likes across Twitter and Instagram in fewer than two hours.
