However, Jackman says that he rebuts the idea that he has trouble letting go of Wolverine. “No, I was OK,” he said. “I wasn’t tortured by it. When people would ask me [to reprise the role] – including Ryan, every five seconds – I was like: I’m done.”
The actor finally gave in after realizing the potential of Deadpool 3, saying, “I just wanted to do it and I felt it in my gut… I get to punch the shit out of Ryan Reynolds every day.”
Deadpool 3 is set to hit theatres on September 6, 2024. Although plot details are sparse, we do know that the movie is supposedly set in a different timeline, considering the fact that Wolverine dies at the end of 2017’s Logan.
