Ryan Reynolds announced Tuesday (27) that ‘Deadpool 3’ will be released on September 6, 2024 and will feature the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
In a video posted on his Twitter profile, the Canadian actor had the dazzling participation of the Australian, who played the mutant hero for 17 years in cinema.
“Logan” (2017) was, until now, his farewell to the character.

In the tweet, Reynolds says he’s been running out of ideas for the Marvel Comics Mercenary’s third film, the character’s first installment in the publisher’s Cinematic Universe.
That’s until Jackman goes into the background and the Canadian asks if the Aussie doesn’t want to play Wolverine anymore. “Yes, of course Ryan,” replies the other.
In the tweet, the interpreter of Deadpool teases his first appearance as an anti-hero. “Hard to keep my mouth shut on this one,” the actor wrote, referencing the character’s fate in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” (2009).
After a disastrous start in his colleague’s film, Reynolds got two new chances with his own films – the last of them in 2018.
Both were big hits for studio Fox, which has since been acquired by Disney, bringing its movie characters back into the unique Marvel universe.
Jackman took on the role of Wolverine in 2000 and starred in eight films until he retired from the character in 2017.
