UPDATED: Since this story broke, both Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have gone on Twitter to call this story 100% false.Logandirector James Mangold has also chimed in saying this cameo is not happening. But we should also point out that Hugh Jackman lied about not having a cameo inX-Men: Apocalypsebefore it came out. And the filmmakers often swear up and down that these stories are false when they are in fact true.
ORIGINAL STORY: Unfortunately for fans of theX-Menfranchise,Hugh Jackmanis just about done playing Wolverine. The good news isLoganis coming out next year, which is his third and final soloWolverinemovie. As excited as fans are about the movie already, they may have reason to get even more excited, because it looks likeDeadpoolhas a cameo inLogan.
The news comes courtesy ofThe Wrap, who reveal thatRyan Reynoldsrecently shot a scene forLoganasDeadpool. It is perhaps a little hard to imagine how The Merc With a Mouth would fit into the main narrative ofLogan, but according to the report, that won’t be a problem, becauseDeadpoolwill likely show up in a post-credit sequence. Here is what the report had to say about it.
“An individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap the “Deadpool” scene in “Logan” will most likely become a post-credit scene. Fox declined to comment.”
Fox declining to comment doesn’t at all rule out theDeadpoolcameo inLogan. If anything, it could lend some credibility to it, since the studio would probably want to keep the appearance as a surprise for fans. But it looks like the cat may be out of the bag. That doesn’t necessarily make it any less exciting of a prospect, though.Deadpoolis currently the highest-grossing movie in theX-Men franchiseto date, having brought in $782 million worldwide. So people love the character. Putting the two most beloved characters in theX-Menfranchise currently on the big screen together seems like a home run. In fact, ifRyan Reynoldshad his way, he would want to see the two do an entire movie together. Here is what he had to say in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly.
“I want Deadpool andWolverinein a movie together. What we’re gonna have to do is convince Hugh. If anything, I’m going to need to do what I can to get my internet friends back on board to help rally another cause down the line. Hugh Jackman is one of the best human beings. Part of the reason I want to do a Deadpool/Wolverine movie is not just because I think the two would light the screen on fire but I genuinely love the guy.”
IfDeadpooldoes wind up having a cameo inLogan, it won’t be the first time that he and Wolverine have crossed paths on the big screen.Ryan Reynoldsfirst played a version of the character inX-Men Origins: Wolverine, but that wasn’t what one would call memorable. At least not in a good way. That movie is considered a serious low-point for theX-Menfranchise and the version ofDeadpoolfeatured in the movie was very unfaithful to the comics. Now that we have a properDeadpooland a great Wolverine, it makes total sense to give fans a new look at the two on screen together. Even if it is only in a post-credit sequence.
