Ryan Reynolds confirmed Hollywood star Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3′ announcement video. The film will release on September 6, 2024.
“Hey everyone, we’re extremely sad to have missed D23, but we’ve been working very hard on the next a’Deadpool’ film for a good long while now,” Reynolds says in a video, referencing the D23 Expo in early September.
“I’ve had to really search my soul on this one. His first appearance in the MCU obviously needs to feel special. We need to stay true to the character, find new depth, motivation, meaning. Every ‘Deadpool’ needs to stand out and stand apart. It’s been an incredible challenge that has forced me to reach down deep inside. And I have nothing. Yeah, just completely empty up here. And terrifying. But we did have one idea,” he adds.
As he talks to his fans sitting comfortably on a sofa, Jackman walks by in the background. Reynolds asks him, “Hey, Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?”
“Yeah, sure, Ryan,” Jackman replies.
Shawn Levy, who made ‘Free Guy’ and ‘The Adam Project’ with Reynolds, is directing ‘Deadpool 3’, which will officially join the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox.
The ‘Deadpool’ films are the top-grossing ‘X-Men’ titles of all time, each earning over $780 million worldwide.
