Fans of the X-Men universe may like to believe that they were the saddest when Hugh Jackman announced Logan would be his last movie as the mutant superhero Wolverine. In reality, it was his off-screen pal and on-screen annoying enemy Ryan Reynolds aka Deadpool who was heartbroken to have lost his window of opportunity to get the two mutants in a movie together.

His dream finally came true as Jackman decided to don the Adamantium claws again and be the comic-accurate Wolverine everyone had been waiting for. The first teaser of Deadpool & Wolverine broke the internet as this collaborative venture was high on the list of dream projects for many fans, including Reynolds.

After the end-credit scene of Deadpool 2, Reynolds knew he wanted his pal on board for another smashing project that would conquer the box office. The cherry on top of this news was the MCU finally welcoming the mutants and converging the two blockbuster universes.

However, getting Jackman on board was no easy feat since the actor had already decided to move on. But after begging and name-dropping him in various talk shows and interviews, Jackman finally agreed to buff up again and star in the upcoming movie with Reynolds. Specifically, as the Deadpool actor says in his recent X post, he tried to convince Jackman for seven years to welcome him back as Wolverine.

After Reynolds took to X to inform everyone of the next trailer release for Deadpool & Wolverine, fans commented and thanked the actor for getting the universe back in order. There is no better actor than Jackman to pull off the intense role of Wolverine, and fans cannot be happier to see the duo share the screen for an entire movie.

One of the major reasons why fans are so enthused about Deadpool & Wolverine is because of the chemistry the actors share. While they may have seldom crossed paths on screen, Jackman and Reynolds are great friends in real life. From their hilarious social media posts and banter to their unparalleled bromance through the thick and thin in life, the two actors share an incredible bond. This will translate into greatness on screen as their characters bicker throughout.
