Get ready, Marvel fans, because Deadpool & Wolverine are coming to a screen near you! But before Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds donned their iconic superhero costumes, they shared a special moment on the set of X-Men Origins: Wolverine back in 2009.
Reynolds, who was cast as Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool, reminisced about his first day on set, where Jackman’s kindness left a lasting impression. Reynolds recalled how Jackman went out of his way to reshoot a scene just so he could feel more comfortable. Talk about Hollywood camaraderie!
In a recent interview, Reynolds praised Jackman for his humility and graciousness, qualities that he had never seen in Hollywood before. Despite Reynolds jokingly calling the 2009 movie a “trash fire,” he recognized the pivotal role it played in bringing Deadpool & Wolverine to life.
Both actors reflected on their lack of creative control back in the early days of their superhero careers. Jackman remembered X-Men as his first American film, while Reynolds had yet to step into his role as producer and writer on the Deadpool films.
As we eagerly await the release of Deadpool & Wolverine on July 26, Marvel boss Kevin Feige has teased that the film is not only emotional but also surprisingly wholesome for an R-rated movie. It’s clear that Reynolds and Jackman are just as excited to team up as we are to see them in action.
So mark your calendars and get ready for a dose of superhero goodness, because Deadpool & Wolverine are about to take the Marvel universe by storm!
