A Spidey Sense for the Big Screen: Hugh Jackman’s Gut Feeling Led Him to Deadpool 3
In a recent interview with Fandango alongside co-star Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy, Jackman revealed the impulsive decision that led him to reprise his iconic role. While driving, he described a “bolt of lightning” moment, a gut feeling that he simply had to do this movie with Reynolds.
This wasn’t just about personal satisfaction for Jackman. He acknowledged the fans’ desire to see these two characters share the screen, a sentiment that’s been around since the first Deadpool movie. “Those two characters together,” Jackman said, referencing the constant fan requests. “I knew the fans wanted it ever since I put on the claws…”
Jackman’s enthusiasm was so strong, he called Reynolds and agreed to the project before even informing his agent. He later delivered the news with a casual, “Oh, by the way, I’ve just committed to a movie.”
This impulsive decision highlights Jackman’s dedication to the role and his understanding of the fans’ desires.
Kevin Feige’s Reservations and a New Wolverine
While Jackman was all in, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige reportedly had some reservations. Feige likely worried about diminishing the impact of Wolverine’s emotional death in 2017’s Logan. However, details suggest Jackman’s return might involve a different version of Wolverine, potentially easing concerns about contradicting the previous storyline.
Fans are eager to learn more about this new take on Wolverine and see the dynamic between him and the ever-irreverent Deadpool.
