Chris Hemsworth Jokes That He'll Keep Hugh Jackman Out of DEADPOOL 3 and He'll Appear as Thor Instead
While Marvel Studios is about to release Thor: Love and Thunder in theaters, they are deep in development on Deadpool 3, which will bring Ryan Reynolds back as the Merc with a Mouth! It will also reunite him with The Adam Project director Shawn Levy.
Fans are also really hoping that Reynolds and Levy manage to get Hugh Jackman back on board to reprise his role as Wolverine again. If anyone can talk Jackman into playing Logan again it’s Reynolds, Levy, and Kevin Feige. But there is one other Marvel actor that says he will attempt to stop Jackman from appearing in the movie. That person is fellow Aussie, Chris Hemsworth.
In a recent interview with BBC Radio 1, the actor joked that he'd "make some calls" just to make sure Jackman doesn't appear as Wolverine in the movie. He explained, "I make might some calls to make sure [Jackman doesn't appear in Deadpool 3]...I'll put myself in Deadpool instead. That would be the offering."
Of course, he’s joking, but there’s room for Wolverine and Thor in Deadpool 3!—if that’s the direction that the creative team is looking to take it. The film is being written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who has previously said that Disney has been very supportive of their film and their R-rated Deadpool vision.
I can’t wait to see what this creative team has got cooking, and it would be pretty amazing if Jackman actually did show up in the movie as Wolverine.
