Deadpool 3 Was Almost Shelved Until Hugh Jackman Made a Last-Minute Decision

While a third Deadpool movie seemed inevitable from a fan’s perspective, it wasn’t quite the case in the film’s writers’ room, and director Shawn Levy and star Ryan Reynolds nearly pulled the plug on the movie…that is until Hugh Jackman came to the rescue. Deadpool & Wolverine gives fans the live-action Marvel team up they’ve been waiting for since Jackman first played Wolverine 24 years ago in the first X-Men. Both characters are finally coming to the MCU, and Reynolds and Levy both give a lot of credit to Hugh Jackman, who saved the project from nearly being shelved.
