Hugh Jackman says Wolverine in DEADPOOL 3 is “Something I’ve never done before.”

Hugh Jackman “honestly” thought he was “done” playing Wolverine after he concluded the character’s arc with LOGAN, the 2017 finale directed by James Mangold. “I was at peace with it,” he told Chris Wallace of Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? on HBO Max. “I got asked every day, either in interviews or Ryan Reynolds saying, ‘Can we do it again?’ and I’m like, ‘No, I’m done!’

So what ultimately changed his mind?

“When I keep thinking of me and Ryan, of Deadpool and Wolverine – which are classic comic book rivals, there’s also a dynamic that I’ve never really got to do before as Wolverine. I just thought, ‘This is gonna be fun. Something I’ve never done before.’ I can’t wait.'”

Deadpool 3 is scheduled for release on November 8, 2024.
