‘Deadpool 3′ sees the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine
Star Ryan Reynolds took to Instagram to confirm that “Deadpool 3″ will be in theaters September 2024.
The first film, in 2016, was a box office hit, leading the creators to expand the Deadpool story into its own franchise. The second “Deadpool,” released in 2018, left fans desperate a third. Finally, after four years, they’re getting their wish.
Reynolds said he was “extremely sad” to have missed out on D23 — a three-day Marvel event — but insisted he had been working very hard on “Deadpool 3″ for a ”good long while now.”
After explaining — jokingly, we think — that that they’d run out of ideas for a third movie, actor Hugh Jackman can be seen walking in the background. “You wanna play Wolverine one more time?” Reynolds asked. Jackman respinded, “Yeah, sure, Ryan.”
The last time “X-Men” fans saw Jackman as Wolverine was in 2016 in “Logan,” where he died at the end.
The “Deadpool” franchise is the top-grossing “X-Men” series of all time, earning more than $780 million worldwide. And now, it seems, it even has the power to bring Wolverine back from the dead.
