A marvelous reunion. Deadpool 3 will reunite Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for the first time since 2009’s Wolverine: Origins.
The Canada native revealed that his pal would join him in a comedic announcement video in September 2022. “I’ve had to really search my soul on this one. His first appearance in the MCU [Marvel Cinematic Universe] obviously needs to feel special,” Reynolds said in the clip. “We need to stay true to the character, find new depth, new motivation, new meaning. Every Deadpool [movie] needs to stand out and stand apart. It’s been an incredible challenge that has forced me to reach down deep inside and I … I have nothing. Yeah — just completely empty up here. And terrifying.”
A figure walks into the background as Reynolds says, “But we did have one idea. Hey Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?”
Jackman casually replies, “Yeah, sure, Ryan.”
The reunion between Reynolds’ Merc With a Mouth and Jackman’s clawed crusader had been in the making for a long time. “I’ve been asking him to do it for six straight years,” the Just Friends star told Entertainment Tonight in November 2022.
“It was ultimately Hugh that said, ‘I think I am ready to come back,'” Reynolds said. “All we had to do was sell it to [Marvel Studios co-president] Kevin Feige, which didn’t take long.”
Though Feige was ready to welcome Jackman, he still had to cut through some red tape. After all, the X-Men haven’t been introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The Avengers live in the Disney-owned MCU, produced by Marvel Studios, while the mutants previously lived in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men universe. However, Disney now owns Fox, so Deadpool can exist alongside the Avengers for the first time.

In The Son, Hugh Jackman plays Peter, a man struggling with parenting his teenage boy, while attempting to break the chains of generational trauma he inherited from his own father, played by Anthony Hopkins. Writer-director Florian Zeller brings this, his second in a series of his plays, to the screen, having debuted The Father, also starring Hopkins, last Oscar season. In taking on this role, Jackman became the crux of a story so eviscerating and personal, he says it affected the way he parents his own children, while at the same time, he felt the presence of his father, who passed away during the shoot.

Aussie actor Hugh Jackman was best known for musicals like “Oklahoma” when the Wolverine role was offered to him in the early 2000s. At the time, director Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox had lost their original choice, Dougray Scott, to Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible II.” After “X-Men” became a huge hit, Jackman was briefly considered for the role of James Bond in what would end up being 2006’s “Casino Royale.” He turned down the part paving the way for Daniel Craig to ultimately take the reins from Pierce Brosnan.

EXCLUSIVE: Deadline can reveal that Shawn Levy is in talks to come aboard to develop to direct a Star Wars film. We are trying to pry loose details of plot and writer, but this we can tell you: Levy will focus on this one after he completes the job directing Deadpool 3 at Marvel and Disney, the one that brings Ryan Reynolds together with Hugh Jackman.
We’ve all assumed that when Hugh Jackman was announced for “Deadpool 3,” reprising his Logan/”X-Men” one more time—after avowing for years, he was done with the role previously—that it was all the doing of Ryan Reynolds and the director Shaun Levy. Both had a relationship with Jackman; Levy directed him in “Reel Steel” ages ago, and the two actors obviously have quite the relationship on social media with all the gangs and pranks they play on each other (and, of course, Deadpool/Reynolds and Wolverine/Jackman did already act side by side in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” and of course, Reynolds mocked that hard in the meta-end credits of “Deadpool 2”).
