The biggest news of last month was the return of Hugh Jackman to the role of Wolverine for the finally confirmed “Deadpool 3” which also has a release date.
The news came in a series of videos published by Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds. Whilst both clips carried Reynolds usual humorous tone, the actor got sincere in a recent interview with Forbes when talking about the announcement.
Though he couldn’t go into details, he expressed his excitement about the news finally being out there:
“I couldn’t be more excited. I mean, especially to do it this way. Ultimately, I get to work with some of my closest friends in the world and that doesn’t happen every day working in this business.
I’m thrilled and I’ve been sitting on those couple of teasers for a few weeks now. It’s one of those moments where you’re hitting send or a tweet or a post — your hand is shaking when you’re messing with the zeitgeist in a way like that. It’s been amazing.
I feel the same way that the fans do, though. I feel as excited that this character is coming back for another ride, particularly in this context. I think it’s something that people have wanted for a long time, to get this pairing up on the big screen, and that’s what we aim to do.”
Shawn Levy is directing “Deadpool 3” which is currently set to hit theaters on September 6th 2024.
