Oh No You Didn’t, Fox!
The irreplaceable Hugh Jackman has a serious case of the paranoias — he fears his 17-year stint as The X-Men’s Wolverine is ending with a whimper.
20th Century Fox better beware before he shows his claws. Although, Jackman admits he’s been playing the character for a long time, it’s hard not to register the disappointment in his words.
Speaking to The Huffington Post, Jackman does his best to appear chipper, “And I’m sure that they’ve already started casting, you know? Someone may sign up for an 11-picture deal, as we speak.”
He was tight-lipped on the Deadpool gossip: “Hmmm, I can’t … no. Nope,” he said. “But, I am really good mates with [Reynolds] so …”
The brief encounter of Wolverine and Deadpool in the 2009 X-Men Origins may not be so brief next time, as Jackman hinted to IGN: “We sort of took a pretty strong choice on Deadpool, where we kind of stitched him up,” said Jackman.
“And I love the character of Deadpool and I think that the sort of badass, fast-talking, funny, annoying Deadpool vs Wolverine would still be cool. We’ve sort of done it, but I think we could have done that much better.”
Let’s hope this is one rumour we can shred.
