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.

The 'X-Men' star shared footage on his Instagram that saw him doing a heavy workout. The video showed him running on a treadmill while a personal trainer cheered him on. Jackman looked every bit the action star as he captioned the post, "Welcome to a new installment of becoming Wolverine again." Back in January, Jackman revealed it will take him six months of hardcore training to physically prepare for his return as Wolverine.



 

'You will always be Wolverine'

As soon as the post dropped on social media, fans took over the comment section to express their excitement and cheer for the actor. A person wrote, "You're Wolverine. That's it. 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.
