For better or for worse, Marvel Studios headfirst into the multiverse saga. Now neck-deep into the highly ambitious and prospective storyline, a slew of problems started to crop up, starting from the firing of the main big-bad itself. However, to light up its fortunes, all hope now lies pinned on Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 3. In full swing and fast-tracked post the Hollywood strikes, the first ever R-rated MCU juggernaut packs quite a few surprises. For the turn of the year, one of its leads just called back on his memories.

The Wolverine actor showcased how his year came full circle to calling him back to his role and reigniting a fan-favorite duo.

Hugh Jackman recalls the time he played a fake role for Ryan Reynolds

At 55 years of age, Hugh Jackman gives off a vibe that attracts comic book movie fans from far and wide. The quintessential actor and probably the only one yet born to play Wolverine met his perfect match in Ryan Reynolds, who quite literally mirrored Deadpool. Taking to his Instagram, the Australian actor posted a carousel of “Lost & found year end photo dump.” Showcasing his best highlights from 2023, he did not miss posting a snap from the time he stood on a football field alongside his Canadian comic better half.

On August 5, Hugh Jackman attended the Wrexham versus Milton Keynes Dons match amid much fanfare. Taking on a made-up role of Admiral Vice Football Operations Ombudsman, the duo’s light-hearted moments spearheaded the hype for the upcoming flick. Moreover, in his dump, the actor started with a photo of him getting his beard styled to Wolverine’s famed mutton chops, further amping up the MCU behemoth.

As the stars stand aligned and counting down to the movie’s release, how Jackman came back to his role came across as no miracle on its own.

Deadpool 3 pitch garnered enough excitement to get Wolverine out of the grave

In 2017, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine canonically died poetically in Logan. Having exhausted all creative narration for the character, the Australian actor had moved on with life until Ryan Reynolds and Kevin Fiege came calling. The Free Guy actor revealed how he “pestered” his frenemy and called him daily to convince him for a comeback.

Months down the line, Deadpool 3 has ballooned in size both in cast and story. Alongside the original X-Men and all characters from previous Fox Deadpool movies, a slew of new faces have joined the cast. Finally, with rumors of the currently trending Taylor Swift joining the band as Dazzler floating around, the movie stands set for a grand reception for its July 26, 2024 release.
