FULL STORY ======================================================================

The merc with the mouth has returned and this time hes bringing back a
legend of the X-Men franchise, with Hugh Jackman officially confirmed to reprise the role of Wolverine for the next Deadpool film.

In true Deadpool fashion, a video put out by Reynolds official Twitter
account has the actor throwing shade at the characters portrayal way back in 2009s X-Men Origins: Wolverine. With references to the mercenarys mouth being sewn shut and an apology for missing D23, Reynolds ends the video by asking Jackman if hed like to return as Wolverine, to which the Australian actor nonchalantly replies Yeah, sure.

Jackmans return is a nice surprise for fans, as he had hung up the claws
after 2017s Logan . The actor has been portraying Wolverine in films since 2000s X-Men, and Logan was seen by many as a great send-off for both the character and Jackmans involvement. Regardless, fans of both characters will finally be able to see them battle it out on the big screen (ignoring the
2009 portrayal, of course). Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one. pic.twitter.com/OdV7JmAkEu September 27, 2022 See more

Deadpool 3 is being directed by Shawn Levy, who worked with Reynolds previously on the film Free Guys, and with Jackman on 2011s Real Steel, and
is set to arrive on September 6, 2024. This date appears to be the start of the MCUs phase 6, as phase 5 will close out in July, 2024 with Thunderbolts.

Its been 30 long years

Interestingly, 2024 also marks the 30th anniversary of when the characters first met in Wolverine #88. Since 1994, Deadpool and Wolverine have had an on again off again rivalry, with their first meeting involving a copious amount of bullets being fired by the mercenary.

When X-Men Origins: Wolverine hit the cinemas, fans of the duo were left bewildered by Deadpools portrayal. Despite being played by Reynolds, the character was incredibly subdued compared to what fans knew Deadpool for. However, Reynold redeemed the character in 2016s Deadpool, with the
characters solo outing being sufficiently chaotic, humourous and accurate to what fans knew from the comics. Want to catch up on everything from this
