It seems like Hugh Jackman is just as excited as his fans to be back on the screen as the beloved Wolverine. Marvel Studios’s upcoming outing, Deadpool & Wolverine, is ready to hit theatres and has sparked a wave of enthusiasm among MCU fans. Even though he “retired” as Wolverine after James Mangold’s Logan, the actor eventually returned to play it one more time along with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. Hugh Jackman recently opened up about his experience on the film, sharing that he enjoyed working with his best friends Ryan and Levy (Shawn Levy).
Speaking to Vanity Fair, the actor said that it feels refreshing to be able to showcase a new side of his iconic character in Deadpool 3. “I instinctively knew that Deadpool was going to allow us to get to a different side of Wolverine then I’ve ever played before, in every way, from emotion, humour, dialogue, and action,” he said.

Going into details of his experience while working with his co-star and director, Hugh said that it felt “new and fresh.” “I’d be sharing it with Ryan and Shawn, who are two of my best friends. The three of us together are like the Three Amigos. There was not a day where I wasn’t in tears laughing. I felt so rejuvenated playing the part. I mean, I’m 25 years in this, man, and it feels better than ever,” he continued.
During this time, both Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds also recalled how the film was about to be shelved, but the Logan star saved it. “I can’t believe the timing because we were about to have a meeting, and I’m not sure where we’re at,” Ryan continued while recounting the time when he received a confirmation call from Hugh. “This is a one-in-a-billion chance. I really feel like this is what we’ve been looking for,” he added.
