Damn it Hugh Jackman, don’t take this away from us!
Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds may have a lot of banter together on social media but when it comes to serious movie making, their opinions diverge.
Jackman has previously said that he wanted Logan to be his final performance as the character of Wolverine, and thus a Wolverine/Deadpool team-up film isn’t on the cards for him.
Reynolds, who will be appearing as his most famous character in Deadpool 2, spoke about the crossover idea to EW, saying: “I think convincing Hugh of that would be a near-impossible feat, but there’s no human being I love more than Hugh Jackman in that universe, and equally so as a friend. He’s just the best.
“I already miss him as Logan, so I’m one of those guys that whenever I see him, I’m like, ‘Come on, man. Just one more. Come on. We’ll do it together. It’ll be fun. Come on! On three. Here we go, together. One, two, three, together,’ and it’s always just me saying it.”
Reynolds also pointed out how because Logan takes place in the future, the titular character would be still be alive in the period Deadpool 2 is set in. “He’s alive and well in my timeline,” Reynolds continued. “There is a Logan running around out there with a little bushy chest and his little sharpy, sharpy claws, and he is alive and well and ready to go. I would love that.”
The two heroes appeared together in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine but Deadpool was subsequently revamped into the foul-mouthed hero we know and love today.
Ryan Reynolds also spoke about the Logan and Deadpool movie idea with Starnews Korea. Initially talking about how a third Deadpool solo outing is unlikely to happen, though an X-Force movie could hail Deadpool’s return to the big screen, he added: “Beyond that, I know it’s a pipe dream that would probably never come true but I’d love to see a Deadpool-Logan movie. I’d love to see a Wolviepool movie, if I may. That would be fun, but Hugh Jackman is apparently retired, despire the fact that I’ve been protesting almost hourly.”
Ryan Reynolds still has hope for a Wolverine x Deadpool movie ðŸ¤Å¾
