'Becoming Wolverine again': Hugh Jackman shares grueling workout video as he prepares for 'Deadpool 3'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: With 'Deadpool 3' in the works, fans are excited to see Ryan Reynolds reprise his witty superhero role. Marvel Studios have given the green signal for the third installment of the action movie. To everyone's surprise, Hugh Jackman confirmed that he will reprise Wolverine in MCU's new film. After appearing alongside Reynolds in 2009's 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' and later retiring from the character in 2017, the veteran 'X-Men' actor will reconnect with Reynolds.
MCU is developing its multi-verse saga and has started to build a base with 'Spiderman: No Way Home' and 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness'. As part of that, the as-yet-untitled 'Deadpool 3' will recast Patrick Stewart as Professor X, a franchise co-star of Jackman. Meanwhile, Jackman recently shared his grueling workout session to get back in shape before filming starts.

There is no "becoming again." Hugh's 'Reminiscence' co-star Daniel Wu said, "Let's go." Another fan wrote, "Work out to became the Best Wolverine. You are the only one, Hugh!!" Someone else commented, "You will always be Wolverine!" A fan joked, "Now imagine Wolverine running after Deadpool."
'Deadpool 3' is not expected to release at least until November 2024.
