In the grand lineup of upcoming cinematic wonders, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool 3 has undoubtedly become the most awaited. Since word first spread of the third act of the Marvel flick, Deadpool enthusiasts began counting down the days to its release. After all, the return of everyone’s cherished rogue anti-hero is no small event for lovers of superheroes and dark comedies. Especially because of the tantalizing prospect of a screen rendezvous between Reynolds and Jackman’s beloved characters!

Now, as the flick is suffering the effects of the SAG-AFTRA and WAG strike, the Wolverine actor seems to have not lost his passion for it. 

Hugh Jackman blesses Twitter with an endearing share

Earlier today, Hugh Jackman shared four images on his X (previously Twitter) account that showed him in a variety of outdoor immersions across California. In them, he could be seen trail biking, taking a selfie at the beach, sitting inside a cave-like rock, and enjoying a sunset overlooking the mountains. However, the caption that read “48 hours.” This was the most intriguing aspect of the tweet because the 1982 flick: 48 Hours has a connection to Deadpool 3!

Well, the X-Men: First Class actor once touted the decades-old flick to be the reason he took up the Deadpool movie in the first place. After deciding to retire as Wolverine upon completing Logan, Jackman only joined Deadpool 3 to recreate the Eddie Murphy plus Nick Nolte dynamic from 48 Hours with Reynolds. Now adding the movie’s name to the caption of his post, he has reaffirmed his determination to complete the film.  

Especially since the movie has a huge hurdle to cross before it begins filming again.

The recent heart-breaking Deadpool 3 update 

Earlier this year, the production of Deadpool 3 was in full swing. In the midst of it all, eager fans had also glimpsed the movie’s shoots through some leaked images and clips. When some of the surfaced pictures showed Reynolds’ Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine in full costumes, fans nearly lost their minds. Alas, when the movie was only halfway done, the SAG-AFTRA protests brought it to a halt, subsequently forcing the release of the movie to be delayed. 

The latest update confirmed that the movie’s release has been pushed back from its original date of 3rd May next year. As the strike continues, the cast of the flick is simply using their free time. Reynolds has returned to his Wrexham AFC tasks. Meanwhile, Jackman’s tweet makes it seem like he is passing the time in nature and getting fit. All the while retaining his motivation to return for Deadpool 3 too!
