Five years after appearing in his final Wolverine movie, Hollywood’s Hugh Jackman is back to reprise the clawed mutant’s role. Deadpool 3 will be released in theatres in 2024, according to Ryan Reynolds, who plays Wade Wilson, a.k.a. Deadpool, in The Greatest Showman.
Jackman’s role as Wolverine in the 2000 film X-Men launched him to international fame. But after appearing in nine movies over the course of 17 years, including multiple cameo appearances, the actor gave up playing the superhero following Logan (2017).

The Announcement
On Wednesday, Reynolds posted on Twitter about how difficult it was to keep his mouth “stitched shut” about the news. “Hey everyone, we’re very sorry to have missed D23, but we’ve been working very hard on the following Deadpool movie for a little while now. He made reference to this month’s earlier Disney D23 Expo.” Ryan said.
Hugh Jackman then appeared in the background of the video as Ryan addressed him, “Hey, Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?” He answered, “Yeah, Ryan. I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston was playing in the background as Ryan was spotted grinning. It included the subtitle “I shall always love Hugh” and a preview for “Coming Hughn.” The Deadpool emblem appeared as the video came to a close but was swiftly destroyed by Wolverine’s claws.
Reynolds’ persona and Jackman’s Wolverine come full circle in the third Deadpool movie. The 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, in which Ryan Reynolds debuted as Deadpool, showed the anti-hero with his lips stitched shut.
