This will be epic.
Hugh Jackman has admit that Deadpool made him want to bring back Wolverine. He's confirmed to reprise the role for Deadpool 3 which is due out November 8th, 2024.
He previously claimed the 2017 film Logan would be his last time in the role, but it turns out the decision to return has "been brewing for a long time."
He said: "I went to a screening of Deadpool. I was 20 minutes in, and I was like, ‘Ah, damn it!'"

It turns out, Hugh isn't the only one who wanted Wolverine to make a Deadpool appearance.
Hugh explained that Ryan Reynolds had asked him daily to make a Wolverine/Deadpool project and by the time Hugh agreed, he thought Ryan had "given up" on it.
"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," Hugh said.

On Instagram, Ryan wrote it was "hard to keep my mouth sewn shut about this one."
It's confirmed that the film will take place after the events of Logan. Hugh is looking forward to the film as “a little part of me now thinks I’d be better at it."
He added: “Is that arrogance of age or something? Wolverine’s a tortured character — more tortured than me.
"But I always get the feeling of him being comfortable in his own skin. And I feel more comfortable in my own skin now, even though it’s messier.”
