There's been a lot of hype surrounding a possible return by actor Hugh Jackman for one more Wolverine movie co-starring Deadpool. Actor Ryan Reynolds has been publicly pushing for it to happen and Jackman recently said he is hesitant with his mutant retirement plans. This has maintained a glimmer of hope in the Marvel fanbase.
But sorry Deadpool, and sorry to the fans, because Jackman, on a Facebook Q&A via ScreenRant, sounds like he really is done with the role and Deadpool is on his own without him.
"No, and Ryan is currently sleeping outside my house. Look, if that movie had appeared 10 years ago, probably a different story, but I knew two and a half years ago that this was the last one. The first call I made was to [Logan director James Mangold]. I said, ‘Jim, I got one more shot at this,’ and as soon as Jim came up with the idea and we worked on it, I was never more excited. But, it feels like the right time. Deadpool, go for it man, do your thing. You don’t need me."
This is sad news although things can change... especially if Fox pulls up a Brinks truck to Jackman's front door loaded with millions and millions of dollars to come back one more time. So until it really does not happen in DEADPOOL 2 and/or DEADPOOL 3, this story will continue have legs and the rumor mill will keep churning out stories.
LOGAN is set to release in the U.S. on March 3 and DEADPOOL 2 is currently in development.
