Hugh Jackman might be surprising himself by getting back into the role so easily, but his co-star sounds just as stunned at the standard being set. After they both shared the screen as Wolverine and Wade in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” Ryan Reynolds seems assured that Logan (or at least a variant of the one we know) is back and in ferocious fighting shape.
In the joint interview with Jackman, Reynolds was candid about what reuniting with Wolverine was like in the latest chapter of Deadpool’s wild movie timeline. “When Hugh Jackman is coming at you at 150 Australian miles per hour, you feel like there’s no way you’re not going to be dead in four seconds,” the actor revealed. “And I will never forget that. And thank God I’m in a mask, because under the mask my face is going, ‘Oh God!'”
It’s this level of enthusiasm and admiration for each other that should reassure fans that “Deadpool & Wolverine,” which could so easily be a cash-in, is a passion project between pals. We’ll have to see how they handle slicing and dicing things when the Shawn Levy-directed film hits theaters on July 26. For now, check out why we think “Deadpool & Wolverine” is going to blow you away.
