Hugh Jackman’s recent post on X has fans buzzing with excitement. The iconic actor, known for his legendary portrayal of Wolverine, shared his reaction after seeing his character alongside Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool in their highly anticipated team-up film, per Hugh Jackman's X account. The video, recorded in a cozy room, features Jackman with his hands on his head, eyes wide in astonishment, as he sits next to director Shawn Levy. The emotion on Jackman’s face says it all—he’s as stunned as the rest of us.
Levy breaks the silence, calling it a “blessing” to work on such a monumental project with Jackman. The camaraderie between the two is evident, setting the tone for what fans can expect from the upcoming film. Jackman, barely able to contain his excitement, finally speaks, his voice charged with energy. “I cannot wait for the fans to see this movie,” he exclaims, hinting at the explosive nature of what’s to come. He even jokes that watching the film will be like “heroin in their eyeballs,” a metaphor that, while intense, underscores just how powerful the experience promises to be.
A New Logan and Untapped Potential
The upcoming film doesn’t just reunite Jackman with his iconic role—it introduces an entirely new take on Wolverine, one that’s never been seen on screen before. This Logan hails from a different universe, one that mirrors the previous X-Men movies but diverges in critical ways. In this reality, Logan distanced himself from the X-Men during their darkest hour, when a human mob threatened their survival. Haunted by this decision, he’s lived with the regret ever since.
Deadpool’s appearance in this universe offers Logan a shot at redemption. He becomes a replacement for his own universe’s Wolverine, sparing the timeline from a grim fate. Though initially hesitant, this new version of Logan eventually agrees to join Deadpool, opening the door for Jackman to explore aspects of the character that were left untouched in previous films. One exciting development is the introduction of Wolverine’s classic yellow costume from the comics, a visual treat fans have long awaited.
This fresh take on Wolverine, coupled with Jackman’s palpable excitement, promises a film that not only revisits the past but boldly ventures into new territory. As the video makes clear, this isn’t just another superhero flick—it’s an event poised to redefine what fans know about these beloved characters.
