Hugh Jackman Pokes Fun At Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 Spoilers Message
Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman had a hilarious response to Ryan Reynold’s calling out the media over the leaked Deadpool 3 set photos.
Amid a disappointing year for the MCU, rabid fans have been combing the internet for new information about the highly anticipated Deadpool sequel starring Reynolds in the titular role and Jackman as Wolverine. Although Wolverine’s return is widespread knowledge, recently leaked Deadpool 3 set photos revealed the return of another iconic character. Reynolds shared his dissatisfaction with the Deadpool 3 leaks on Instagram, stating, “It’s important for us to shoot the new Deadpool film in real, natural environments… telephoto lenses continue to spoil surprises and create a difficult situation for everyone.”
Jackman re-shared Reynolds’ story on his Instagram, echoing the sentiment with a cheeky twist. Jackman crossed out the title “Deadpool” and added, “What he said- but it’s a new Wolverine movie.” Jackman teased Reynolds, making light of the potentially upsetting situation. The comment stirred a range of responses from MCU fans and even sparked a Deadpool vs. Wolverine debate. Jackman and Reynolds have been known to poke fun at each other in the past, typically all in good fun, and may continue to riff on their joke fight leading up to the film’s premiere.
While the leak may have confirmed one suspicion, plenty of other rumors remain unconfirmed, including the possible return of Oscar Isaac’s Moon Knight. Although Reynolds was upset by the leaks, he ultimately found the silver lining, conceding, “Part of the reason people post spoilers is because they’re excited. I realize these aren’t real-world issues, and it’s firmly in the ‘good problems’ bucket.” The excitement for Deadpool 3 has only grown more with every lackluster Marvel Studios release. It appears that fans are placing their hopes on the upcoming film’s ability to revive the MCU and end the studio’s downward trajectory. Based on the current buzz and the success of the previous Deadpool and X-Men films, Marvel Studios may have the winning formula to break their losing streak.
In addition, if the off-screen banter between the two actors is any indication of their on-screen dynamic, fans are in for a hilarious treat. According to the limited official information about the film, Deadpool and Wolverine will be teaming up in Deadpool 3 to defeat a “common enemy.” It’s unclear if this enemy was the foe spoiled in the leaked paparazzi photos or if it’s another rumored villain like X-Men Toad. Regardless, Jackman and Reynolds’ chemistry will likely make the film a worthy watch for Marvel fans.
