With all that said, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine story saw the end of the tunnel after the events ofLogan, and fans thoughtThe Greatest Showmanstar was finally done playing the clawed mutant. Fast forward five years later, fan assumptions have proven incorrect as the 54-year-old agreed to reprise his role in the upcomingDeadpool 3movie, much to the relief of the fans!

It seems like he’s planning to continue that tone he had set for the character in his upcoming MCU debut as well! During an interview with AP Entertainment, theVan Helsingstar looked happy and cheerful. He had this to say about his next portrayal of Wolverine-
“I’m gonna tell you I’m gonna have the time of my life. I can tell you that I’ve started back at the gym and I’ve been eating a lot…It’s a lot of fun.It’s been five years, I never really though I’d come back and I’m really, really, excited about it. Actually, I do know a bit about the script but I’m not gonna tell ya”
The interviewer then asks if Howlett will be angrier this time around, to which Jackman said-
“There’s no choice. He’s definitely the angrier, grumpy, and he’s gonna take a lot of free shots at Ryan Reynolds let me tell you, physically that is!”

During an interview with Variety, theBad Educationstar revealed the time when he showed up at an audition for the role of Sandra Bullock’s love interest inMiss Congeniality. According to him, he was blown away by Bullock’s expertise when reading for the audition with her-
“Holy shit! She’s amazing! And so quick and fast…I’m not even vaguely up to speed here. It was the first time I’d tested [with another actor], I was impressed that she was in there.”
He eventually lost the role to Benjamin Bratt, for a role that he didn’t want in the first place at all! His agent had made him do it, who thought that it’d be a piece of cake, and that made him all the more humiliated-
“That’s humiliating, when your agent says, ‘I don’t want you to get this job, but just go get it.’ And then you don’t get it,”
It’s no doubt that that incident is quite humiliating. But looking back, Jackman couldn’t care less, he’s in the MCU now!
Deadpool 3is slated for a theatrical release on 30 May 2025.
