DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE Actor Takes Surprising World Record From Hugh Jackman After Returning As [SPOILER]

A certain actor who made their long-awaited return in Deadpool and Wolverine has taken a world record from star Hugh Jackman. If you haven't seen the movie yet, spoilers follow...

We're sure the majority of you have seen Deadpool and Wolverine at this stage, but just in case, be warned of major spoilers from this point on.

When Logan (Hugh Jackman) and the Merc With a Mouth (Ryan Reynolds) are banished to the Void by Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen), they discover that a group of Multiverse Variants have joined forces to make a stand against Cassandra Nova (Emma Corrin).

One of them turns out to be none other than Blade, played once again by Wesley Snipes.

Now, Guinness World Records has announced that Snipes holds the record for longest career as a live action Marvel character, narrowly beating Hugh Jackman. Funnily enough, Jackman's return for Deadpool and Wolverine meant he technically held the record – right up until Snipes appeared on screen!

Jackman has been playing Logan for 24 years, while Snipes made his debut as the Daywalker 26 years ago. Of course, the Deadpool threequel marks the fourth time Snipes as suited-up as the vampire-hinting hero, while Jackman has now played Wolverine ten times.

Snipes' MCU debut as Blade was met with a hugely positive response from fans, but with Mahershala Ali set to take over as the character for the planned Marvel Studios reboot, we'd say this was more than likely a one-off reprisal.

Have you been to see Deadpool and Wolverine yet? If so, what did you think? Check out our review here, and drop us a comment down below.

The MPAA recently gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

Erm...Jackman ACTUALLY had a *career* as Wolvie during those 24 years but k.

The second record -as lame as it is- makes more sense tho.

@Doomsday8888 - If, as expected, Hugh is back for Secret Wars he'll take the record back assuming Snipes isn't in it I think so...

Without a doubt, Sir Patrick Stewart is a bigger threat than Snipes, lel.

@Apophis71 - think it’s safe to say snipes why show up in a cameo like role in secret wars

@Taonrey - Don't think it is safe to say at all considering we are supposed to be getting the new Blade before then

@Taonrey - Nah I think it was a one a done seen the movie yesterday it was good but seemed to me just to tie some lose ends and giving the fox versions of the characters a proper send off and also used it to admit they screwed up with the whole multi universe phase.

@S8R8M - 'record for longest career as a live action Marvel character'

Erm, animated isn't live action, unsure of status on records for voice actors.

@S8R8M - live action. I was wondering what about Lou Ferrigno, but even though he voices the hulk in live action MCU movies, his character is not live action, so It probably doesn't count.

@Apophis71 - I stand corrected and raise you Marlon Brando haha. Superman - Superman Returns

@ObserverIO - No you are right. He even cameos in The Incredible Hulk movie. Making him the longest.

Does Snipes still hide and cry every year at tax time?

You can come out now Wesley. Show me where the bad IRS man touched you.

Thinking about these cameos in The Void, I'm kinda surprised we didn't get at least one Ghost Rider variant, even if they didn't bring back the original actor (kinda like they did with Juggernaut)

It'll be interesting to see who will be back for Doomsday/Secret Wars. Definitely think Deadpool, Wolverine and the Spider-Men will all appear in at least one of the movies (if not both) but who else? I could see X-23 and Blade also coming back in small roles but I don't think we'll see anyone else make it out of the Void from D&W unless it's just for a final battle equivalent of Endgame's "Portals" scene.

It'd be cool to see some characters return who haven't already had an MCU comeback. Like it'd be nice to see James Marsden finally get his due as Cyclops, but maybe Marvel would prefer to just wait until their X-Men reboot to finally give us a more satisfying take on the character. I could see Storm coming back, and Beast considering we saw him already in The Marvels. Idk but it's fun to speculate.

@AC1 - I think they missed an opportunity with Vinny. They could have brought him back, but looking more like DP2 Juggs. Vinny hated that suit they had for him so I understand why he didn't return. I imagine it was just a time or money thing for most of the cameos we got that weren't the original actors.
TheVandalore
TheVandalore - 8/2/2024, 9:06 AM
@The1st - there is an interview where Vinnie openly talks about being in talks to come back for this but he has actual trauma from that old suit and ultimately they just couldn't agree on a deal.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 8/2/2024, 9:17 AM
@AC1 - This is speculation but Ghost Rider Marvel may have said no to due to plans to use him/them elsewhere, otherwise I agree could have been cool and made sense to be included (in terms of them having so many old versions of previously not owned IP characters back in this plus Variants).
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 8/2/2024, 9:29 AM
@AC1 - They gotta get back Nicholas Cage as Ghost Rider.

They could even do the Ghost Racers from Secret Wars and just bring back every Ghost Rider, Nic Cage, Sam Elliott and Gabriel Luna and maybe even a couple more.

Dolph Lundgren Punisher would be cool too (maybe Wayne Knight as Micro too), David Hasslehoff Nick Fury, Nicholas Hammond Spidey would be appreciated at some point (if not in the MCU maybe in Beyond the Spiderverse) and Lucasfilm Howard the Duck.

Apophis71 - 8/2/2024, 9:44 AM
@ObserverIO - Would love to see them have at least three versions of Ghost Rider, as in Cage's Blaze, Sam Elliot's Carter Slade and Luna's version of Robbie Reyes from AoS turn up in Secret Wars. A flaming car flanked by a bike and a horse would be great even if just a one off scene of it :D
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 8/2/2024, 9:48 AM
@AC1 - yeah

I think Doomsday might be mainly our MCU heroes dealing with Doom and Secret Wars is the big one where we get DP , Wolverine and the Spider Men

I wouldn’t be surprised if we get Marsdens Cyclops and Berry’s Storm from the universe we saw with Beast and Binary at the end of the Marvels

I hope we get Robbie Reyes GR atleast from AOS!!.

@The1st - likely

I think Vinny Jones even said it was a money thing
AC1
AC1 - 8/2/2024, 1:02 PM
@The1st - I can see why they didn't bring Vinny back if he didn't feel comfortable returning, although they could've just changed his costume to get rid of the stuff he disliked or even had a body double and just face swapped him Skinny Steve style, but then that'd be a lot more expensive and they wouldn't have gotten the "Juggernaut of the week" joke
AC1
AC1 - 8/2/2024, 1:27 PM
@Apophis71 @ObserverIO - I think it'd be cool if they did some crazy stuff with the variants and bringing back past Marvel actors, like I think it'd be really fun if they brought back Thomas Jane's Punisher but made him Cosmic Ghost Rider
AC1
AC1 - 8/2/2024, 1:29 PM
@TheVisionary25 - yeah I think you're right, Doomsday will probably be about the Avengers trying to prevent an incursion caused by Dr Doom crossing into the 616 universe, and then at the end they fail and that's when we see all the variants start to show up to set up Secret Wars
The1st
The1st - 8/2/2024, 3:52 PM
@TheVandalore - Yeah I saw it, that's what I was alluding to with Vinnie. It's unfortunate, it would have been nice to see him again.

Didn't Chris Reeve just appear in Flash?

@TheDarkLastSonKnight - Wouldn't count as live action if he didn't film in person for Guinness rules on records I would say.
Apophis71
Apophis71 - 8/2/2024, 9:21 AM
@TheDarkLastSonKnight - Also, the record was for a MARVEL character, not for any comic book character, but fair point to bring up :D
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 8/2/2024, 9:34 AM
@TheDarkLastSonKnight - His image appeared, but I think Helen Slater was actually there in the same way Nic Cage was, but they were so enhanced by CG that it probably doesn't count as live action.

Michael Keaton in The Flash and Burt Ward in CW's Crisis have def played their roles longer than Wesley as Blade, but the award was for Marvel characters specifically I think.
