Hugh Jackman Calls Out Ryan Reynolds’ ‘Narrative’ Over the Wolverine Comeback on X
As Marvel Studios pulls out its gun to bring forth the most iconic hero and anti-hero from the comic pages to life in Deadpool & Wolverine, the world awaits to witness Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman join forces to unfreeze their savior syndrome. Unsurprisingly, after the prolonged hiatus, returning to the limelight proves to be a daunting task for specifically Wolverine, and the recently released second trailer hints at the very challenges they face in reclaiming his former glory. However, despite Deadpool's enthusiastic endorsement of Wolverine's comeback, Jackman appears less than thrilled with Reynolds hogging all the spotlight.
Taking that discontent from him to the social world, Jackman recently put a question mark on Reynolds' narrative.

After the release of the second trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine, Geek Nation Vibes expressed gratitude to Ryan Reynolds on X for persuading Hugh Jackman to reprise his role as Wolverine. This journey began when Reynolds revealed to ET Canada how he persistently lobbied Jackman over the years to join the project. However, every story has multiple perspectives, and Jackman, in response, questioned jokingly, "So this is the story he’s telling?"
With Reynolds and Jackman set to revive the golden era of Marvel comics, fans have already gotten weak in their knees. However, with fans focusing on Reynolds for Wolverine’s return, it might not be the easiest thing to concede to. Hence, infusing humor with his signature gruffness, Jackman redirected fans to note how Deadpool seems to be getting all the credit for Wolverine's return, a sentiment echoed in his apparent discontent with the narrative.
As for now, it appears that there are few barriers standing between Marvel's multiverse of reality and, well, actual reality. Hence, before Deadpool monopolizes the attention, Wolverine is here to turn the perspective upside down. However, that is not all as there also remains a fresh revelation of cast update with a fan-favorite character.
