Deadpool (played by Ryan Reynolds) made his big screen debut in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and when IGN Movies caught up with Hugh Jackman recently, they asked him whether he would be interested in again starring opposite a new and improved version of the fan favourite character. "We sort of took a pretty strong choice on Deadpool, where we kind of stitched him up. And I love the character of Deadpool and I think that the sort of badass, fast-talking, funny, annoying Deadpool vs Wolverine would still be cool. We’ve sort of done it, but I think we could have done that much better." Be sure to also watch the video above as Jackman reveals exactly what he's head about the Deadpool script which is doing the rounds at Fox...

What the heck is going on with this guy? First, he's claiming his time with Wolverine is 99% over, now every few days he's fantasizing about a Wolverine crossover with another character.

Deadpool and Gambit are def candidates for the 2018 film.

@Luminus his time was over because no one wants to star in a franchise that is as borked as the FOX-Men. With DOFP they effectively erased all traces of the past movies which adds a fresh breath of air and they can effectively change everything (including the retarded Wolvie Origins Deadpool). It's a clean slate, who doesn't want to take part in a franchise with a clean slate where all mistakes are gone and you can effectively create something similar to the MCU, with proper continuity and everything tying in nicely.

That's what happened.

This guy is such a piece of corporate shill. After checking out many of his interviews over the past years and seeing all of his contradictory statements, I have no doubt that he just loves to regurgitate everything the studios want him to say.

He must have gotten a great new contract to play Wolverine.
Also... Ryan Reynolds is way too old to play dead pool now

As much as I want a Deadpool movie, it won't happen. Mainly, because Fox wouldn't risk an R rated X-flick UNLESS it was Wolverine 3 or Old Man Logan (or something of the sorts) because they know it has a chance of succeeding because of Wolverine alone. Doing it with Wolverine first might just give Fox the confidence to try with Deadpool. And they probably wouldn't make an R rated movie because Hugh Jackman doesn't like the idea of keeping his younger fans away. Wolverine could possibly have two cuts (one being R and one being PG-13) and that may work, but not for Deadpool. For Wolverine, just add more blood, more swears, have the Claws do a little bit more, and you're good. If you're making an R rated Deadpool movie, it had no chance of being turned into PG-13. Not a chance. Unless Fox pussys out. Which they will.

@TimL
People like you aren't even worth arguing with anymore. Jackman said that after seeing "Days of Future Past" he felt the franchise was fresher than it has ever been and that's why he getting excited about it again. You slanting the facts to support your own opinions sickens me deeply.

@nibs
You don't like him... Oh well. I'm sure he's not losing any sleep over it.

@JasonBlue
It's only been like 5 years.

@TheAbaryMan369
If MARVEL isn't gonna go for an R-Rated CBM then neither is FOX, with Wolverine or without, mark my words.

@pointman
Are you on steroids?

@Tetrahedron
Not everyone in Hollywood is dishonest about their feelings.

I have to admit though, Jackman is pretty motivated about Wolverine right now. All of his interviews are campaigns for Logan to be in a movie with other characters besides the X-Men.

People should understand that if Jackman got in on the Deadpool movie it would no longer be a Deadpool movie, it would be yet another Hugh Jackman as Wolverine movie featuring Deadpool.

Having seen DOFP, I'm all for another take on the Weapon X programme (obviously better handled this time). From what I gather, Hugh is keen to stay on because of the promise that the franchise now holds, which sort of goes against the idea of covering old ground, but we shall see.

Also I do not know how they would make a Deadpool movie as any actor that plays DP will either have the mask on all the time or have a his face covered in cancerous tumors and when was the last time any superhero movie came out which had the starring role wear a mask for the entire movie or even 50% of the movie for that matter.
