Ryan Reynolds has just announced news of Hugh-ge in the world of cinema.
The actor announced on Tuesday that Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine in the upcoming ‘Deadpool’ film, which is scheduled for September 6, 2024.
“Hey everyone, we’re extremely sad to have missed out on D23, but we’ve been working really hard on the next ‘Deadpool’ movie for quite a while now,” Reynolds says in a video posted to Instagram, referencing the news. – doing the Disney convention that took place earlier this month.
Adding that he wanted to make Deadpool’s first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (as it’s the first “Deadpool” movie to be produced after Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox) “special,” Reynolds said. said he was looking to “stay true to character, find new depth, motivation, meaning.
“Every ‘Deadpool’ has to stand out and stand out. It’s been an incredible challenge that forced me to dive deep inside. And I…have nothing,” he deadpanned. “Yeah , just completely empty here. And terrifying. But we had an idea.

Jackman and Reynolds have had a long-running bromance that involved playfully teasing each other on social media.
The duo team will mark the third film in the hit “Deadpool” franchise, which included two films released in 2016 and 2018.
