Deadpool 3 is finally granting actor Ryan Reynolds’ 8-year-old wish for a team-up movie featuring the iconic characters Deadpool and Wolverine. This long-awaited collaboration not only brings excitement for the future of X-Men in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) but also fulfills Reynolds’ desire expressed back in 2016. The upcoming film marks the third installment in the Deadpool franchise and signifies a significant shift in the MCU.

One of the most thrilling aspects of this development is the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, reprising his role after 24 years. Reynolds, who portrays Deadpool, is undoubtedly thrilled by this news, as are fans eagerly anticipating the Deadpool & Wolverine crossover. Reynolds had voiced his interest in a Deadpool/Wolverine team-up movie as far back as 2016, following their underwhelming encounter in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Despite not making an appearance in Logan, Reynolds expressed keenness for both characters to share the screen together. Now, eight years later, Reynolds’ wish is finally being realized as Deadpool & Wolverine promises to deliver an epic showdown and partnership between the two beloved characters.
