Deadpool 3: Hugh Jackman’s Latest Post Has Wolverine Fans VERY Excited

For a while, Marvel fans thought Hugh Jackman was done playing Wolverine after Logan was released in 2017, but it was announced back in September that the star would be donning the iconic claws once again in Deadpool 3. The actor will be joining his longtime frenemy, Ryan Reynolds, and the duo has promised that the threequel won’t mess with the powerful ending of Logan. Fans have a lot of hopes for Jackman’s Wolverine return, and one thing they really want to see is him in the character’s classic costume. The original ending of The Wolverine (2013) saw Jackman getting the costume, but it was cut from the film, and he’s never been seen wearing it. Today, the actor shared a photo to his Instagram stories that has fans very excited about a potential classic costume appearance.

Is Hugh Jackman Excited To Work With Ryan Reynolds? 

In a recent interview with The Guardian, Jackman talked about playing Wolverine again in Deadpool 3 and gave a hilarious reason for wanting to work with Reynolds. 

“No, I was OK,” Jackman said of letting go of the iconic Marvel role. “I wasn’t tortured by it. When people would ask me [to reprise the role] – including Ryan, every five seconds – I was like: ‘I’m done.’” He added of returning for Deadpool 3, “I just wanted to do it and I felt it in my gut … I get to punch the sh*t out of Ryan Reynolds every day.”

After Jackman’s return was announced, the actor said that the decision to return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 was his own. On TikTok, u/uncrazed caught up with the X-Men star to ask him how Reynolds convinced him to return to the role. Jackman quipped, “I make my own decisions, brother.” However, Jackman has said many times in the past that he was done…

“I’m hearing about this from you, and there’s nothing in my inbox from Kevin Feige means it’s probably, no matter what idea I came up with, not on the table,” Jackman said to Jake’s Takes in 2021. “Let’s just be clear that, but now, I realized, before we shot Logan, I was like, we got the idea. We knew what it was going to be-ish, right? And I thought this is it. And that really helped me, it really helped knowing I was going into my last season, that it was my last season that I made the most of it. And it’s still a character I hold close to my heart. But I know it’s done. Tell that to whoever you want to. Please tell it to Ryan [Reynolds]. Because he’s like, doesn’t believe anything’s I’m joking, please.”

 Deadpool 3 is scheduled to be released on September 6th, 2024.
