Ryan Reynolds Sets The Internet Ablaze As He Unveils Hugh Jackman Donning The Iconic Wolverine Suit For Deadpool 3
Reynolds couldn't wait to give us a glimpse of Jackman's Wolverine in Deadpool 3, and he's a beauty!
Ryan Reynolds just dropped a photo that basically turned the internet into a group chat on fire, and it has everything: Deadpool in full red gear, plus Hugh Jackman showing up in the Wolverine getup for Deadpool 3.
But here’s what made fans lose it, the picture is Wolverine without the mask and without the claws, which somehow feels even more chaotic. Reynolds is doing his usual Deadpool thing, and Jackman is standing right there looking like the iconic version of himself, only missing the final touches that fans are clearly begging for.
And if you thought the hype was loud before, wait until you hear how long it took Jackman to say yes.

Then the story gets even better, because Jackman admitted Reynolds had been pestering him for three years to join the franchise.
The picture shows Reynolds dressed in his signature Deadpool costume, complete with the iconic red mask. By his side is Jackman, dressed in his striking Wolverine gear in vivid yellow—though he's without his mask and claws.
Social media is buzzing with excitement as fans react to the renowned pair coming together for the third installment of Deadpool.
One fan tweeted, "The mad lads! They finally did it! They finally got Hugh Jackman in the OG Wolverine suit... now if only they could get the mask,"
Another responded, "WE WONNNN."
On a totally different kind of awkward, this is like asking friends to repay money you lent during tough times.

After that, Reynolds framed the whole thing like “old home week,” because getting to work with Jackman every day is apparently a dream.
Jackman admitted to Variety in October last year that it took him a while to agree to feature in Deadpool 3. He joked that Reynolds had been pestering him every day for three years to join the Deadpool franchise. I think it was a big shock to him. There was a massive pause, and then he said, 'I can’t believe the timing of this.'"
Reynolds expressed his excitement about having Jackman on board for Deadpool 3. In his words, "It’s like old home week. To get to be on set with one of my closest friends each and every day is a dream come true. But to do it with these two iconic characters side by side, that’s beyond our wildest dreams."

And now that fans can mark May 4th, 2024 on their calendars, the only question left is whether the OG Wolverine look will ever come with the full claws package.
The first glimpse of Deadpool and Wolverine has undoubtedly sparked a wave of anticipation among fans. Despite several changes to its release date, fans can now mark their calendars for May 4th, 2024.
With Ryan Reynolds at the helm and the return of a beloved mutant, it's safe to say that Deadpool 3 is poised to blow the minds of superhero enthusiasts worldwide. Get ready for a wild ride!
Deadpool 3 is already winning, and the only missing piece is Hugh Jackman finishing the costume.
