Ryan Reynolds reveals how he got Hugh Jackman to agree to come back as the beloved Wolverine again in Deadpoll 3.

“He expressed interest in coming back”- Ryan Reynolds Reveals How He Got Hugh Jackman to Unretire as Logan for &#8216;Deadpool 3&#8217;

When Ryan Reynolds introduced Deadpool for the first time in 2016, no one
thought that a superhero with a potty mouth would become such a hit. But it did,
and Ryan quickly became one of the biggest Hollywood superstars. After a sequel
in 2018, fans have been waiting for the threequel to arrive for quite some
time.

So when the Canadian himself made the announcement that the threequel is in fact
in the works, fans were delighted. But he had more surprises in store for his
fans than the date announcement. Deadpool 3 was bringing back Hugh Jackman as
Logan again! Mr. Funny sat down for a chat with Collider where he revealed how
he got Jackman onboard.

RYAN REYNOLDS CREDITS KEVIN FEIGE AND FIX FOR MAKING IT ALL WORK 

Ryan Reynolds [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/ryan-reynolds/] first met Hugh
Jackman when they starred together in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in 2008. However,
the movie was criticized for making Deadpool mute in the flick. Of course, Ryan
made sure to do justice to the Merch with a mouth in the 2016 feature.

Anyway, the actor always wanted to do another movie that would feature both the
characters – Deadpool and Wolverine. He had taken the idea to Kevin Feige some
four years back but unfortunately, it was not possible to sort things out then.
Moreover, Hugh Jackman retired as Wolverine after Logan.

However, things changed five years later. Jackman was ready to play the mutant
again. He initiated the conversation and the Definitely Maybe star was of course
sold. Without further delays, he pitched it to Kevin Feige, and well, everyone
was on board!
