Sorry,Deadpoolfans. It looks like we aren’t going to be getting that reuniting ofDeadpooland Wolverine we were hoping for inLogan. Earlier today, a report from The Wrap surfaced, saying thatRyan Reynoldshad filmed a scene for the upcoming third soloWolverinemovie, but he and starHugh Jackman, as well as directorJames Mangoldhave all come out and said the news is simply not true.
As one would expect, the news that Wade Wilson would be making an appearance inLogangot fans excited and the news spread like wildfire. Sadly,Ryan Reynoldstook to hisTwitteraccount in order to clear things up and declare that these reports are indeed false. Here is what he had to say in response to a fan who was excited about the potential to seeDeadpoolshow up inLogan.
“Sadly, not true. Prisoner 24601 is on a solo mission.”
Even thoughRyan Reynoldshad to break the bad news, he couldn’t help but crack a little joke. Prisoner 24601 refers to the character of Jean Valjean fromLes Miserables, whoHugh Jackmanplayed in the movie adaptation. DirectorJames Mangoldalso tweeted a response, saying that “For everyone freaking out, @TheWrap is dealing in fake news. Chill.“Hugh Jackmansimply responded with “what they said.” So it is pretty safe to say aDeadpoolcameo inLoganis out of the question. That said,Ryan Reynoldsstill wants to do aDeadpoolandWolverinemovie at some point. Here is what he had to say in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“I want Deadpool and Wolverine in a movie together. What we’re gonna have to do is convince Hugh. If anything, I’m going to need to do what I can to get my internet friends back on board to help rally another cause down the line. Hugh Jackman is one of the best human beings. Part of the reason I want to do a Deadpool/Wolverine movie is not just because I think the two would light the screen on fire but I genuinely love the guy.”
Ryan Reynolds first played a version of theDeadpoolinX-Men Origins: Wolverine, but that wasn’t what one would call memorable. At least not in a good way. It largely considered a low point for theX-Menfranchise and treated the character of Wade Wilson very poorly, in terms of beingfaithfully adaptedfrom the comics. So it would surely be nice if Fox could reunite Wolverine and The Merc With a Mouth in a more proper way at some point, but it won’t be inLogan. That much is clear now.
