The Merc with the Mouth’s next cinematic outing has a release date, and he’s bringing someone along that rhymes with the word pulverine. In a social media post replete with Aviation Gin easter eggs, Ryan Reynolds discussed how he’d been working on Deadpool 3 for a while, searched deep inside himself and couldn’t find a way in, though he did admit to having one idea. Hugh Jackman walks into the frame, brushing his teeth. Reynolds asks him if he would want to play Wolverine one more time; he nonchalantly says “yea, sure Ryan” and walks up the stairs. Reynolds smiles as Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You plays over the title card (a song that is pretty much a staple for the character at this point).
Jackman, who will be making his tenth appearance as the character in Deadpool 3 has been the butt of many Deadpool jokes, frequently making ‘cameos’ in the movie via hot toys or people magazine cutouts. There had always been a hope that Jackman would make an actual appearance. Still, the veteran Marvel actor always dismissed the idea following the fantastic finale the character received in 2017’s Logan. However, Reynolds refused to give up, and the running gag of seeing the two actors together became fodder for legions of social media fans across the world. Eventually, most fans were resigned to the idea a Wolverine/Deadpool team-up was a fantasy and turned their attention to seeing the actors together in an entirely different film (i.e. a Face/Off remake). Thankfully, fans are about to get their fondest wish, and I can’t wait to see Wolverine and Deadpool on screen together when the film hits theaters on September 6, 2024.
