Deadpool and Wolverine will reunite Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for the first time since 2009’s Wolverine: Origins.
Reynolds revealed in September 2022 that his real-life pal would join the movie via a comedic announcement video. “Hey Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?” Reynolds asked Jackman in the clip, to which he replied, “Yeah, sure, Ryan.”
The film will mark the introduction of X-Men characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy characters previously linked up in the Disney-owned MCU, which is produced by Marvel Studios. The mutants, meanwhile, previously lived in 20th Century Fox’s X-Men universe. However, Disney now owns Fox, so Deadpool can exist alongside the Avengers for the first time.
