Hugh Jackman Says Wolverine/Deadpool Ideas Have Been “Brewing For A Long Time” & Envisions A ’48 Hrs.’-Esque Dynamic

Apple Original Films’ upcoming holiday film Spirited required the hands and talents of multiple creatives behind the scenes including Ian Eisendrath, who served as the musical comedy’s executive music producer. After his performance of an original song at Deadline’s Sound & Screen event, he revealed the elements of his job that kept him busy amid the singing talents of the cast that includes Ryan Reynolds, Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer among others.

Ryan Reynolds confirmed that Taylor Swift was not going to be part of Deadpool 3 but he was game for making it happen.

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”).

EXCLUSIVE: Actress Brianna Hildebrand (Deadpool) has signed with APA for representation.

There are films that are often talked about as “Oscar bait” because of their amazing casts, acclaimed directors, and heartfelt stories. But then you have something like “The Son,” which seems like it was tailor-made to be a sure-thing Oscar contender.

While already known as a respected novelist, playwright, theatre director, and screenwriter, French renaissance man Florian Zeller really put himself on the map with his directorial debut, “The Father,” in 2020, winning Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Actors for Anthony Hopkins at the 93rd Academy Awards. Zeller follows that film up with “The Son,” which is actually not a sequel but stars Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Vanessa Kirby, Zen McGrath, Hugh Quarshie, and Anthony Hopkins once again.

Deadpool.Miller, who played Weasel in Deadpool and its 2018 sequel, recently said he wouldn’t work with Reynolds again after having “not a great experience” with the actor during filming.“Would I work with him again? No, I would not work with him again,” Miller said on the Adam Corolla Show earlier this month. “But I’ve said that about Michael Bay, and now we’re friends, and I would work with him again.

T.J. Miller is sharing that he and Ryan Reynolds have cleared the air after a "misunderstanding." Miller, who played Weasel in the first two "Deadpool" movies, recently shared on the "Adam Corolla Show" podcast that Reynolds was "horrifically mean" one day on set. Following his podcast appearance, Miller shared that Reynolds reached out to him via email "It was a misunderstanding," Miller said on SiriusXM’s "Jim Norton & Sam Roberts" podcast on Wednesday.

T.J. Miller has settled his beef with Ryan Reynolds. During an appearance on SiriusXM's, the controversial actor said that his co-star reached out to him after he claimed that Reynolds did not like him.

Putting the past behind them. T.J. Miller recently alleged that Ryan Reynolds was “horrifically mean” to him on the set of Deadpool — and the Free Guy star reached out to set the record straight.
