Jackman returns as Wolverine in Deadpool 3
Jackman has played Wolverine since the first X-Men movie, which was released in 2000. He went on to play the character in various movies including Logan, in which the character died. He said afterwards that he believed his time donning the claws was over.
Then, his pal Ryan Reynolds asked him to return as Wolverine for the upcoming Deadpool 3.
Allegedly, the only plot device that would have catalysed Jackman's return was the promise of finally hooking up on-screen with the Deadpool everyone knows and loves after the disaster that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Deadpool 3 is currently on hiatus due to the ongoing actor and writer strikes in Hollywood.
