Deadpool plot?
The details about the plot of Deadpool 3 have been kept under wraps, but one thing is certain: Wolverine will be making an appearance. This also means that Hugh Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine.
Although the extent of Jackman's involvement in the third movie is not clear, sources have confirmed that his role will be more than just a brief cameo.
Jackman and Reynolds initially hinted at Wolverine's inclusion in the film in a
playful Instagram Reel in September 2022. In the video, Jackman attempted to reveal the plot but was interrupted by the sudden playing of Wham!'s "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go."
As expected from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, there will be plenty of action. Jackman confirmed this when he spoke to PEOPLE in October 2022, expressing that he anticipates having more fun on this movie than any other he has done before.
Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Jackman mentioned, "I think being on set with [Ryan] every day and those two on film in every city together every day ... I think it's fair to say they'll be punching the s--- out of each other the whole time."
In January 2022, Jackman talked about the project once again, stating that the film takes place before the events of the 2017 film Logan and will offer a unique experience for his character.
"When I think of me and Ryan, of Deadpool and Wolverine, who are classic comic-book rivals, there's also a dynamic that I've never really got to do before as Wolverine. I just thought, 'This is gonna be fun. Something I've never done before. I can't wait.'"

When Uggams congratulated Reynolds on The Adam Project's success, reaching number one on Netflix in March 2022, Reynolds replied with a cunning comment. He tweeted, "Thank you, Leslie. I'll see you soon," accompanied by three sword emojis, subtly referencing Deadpool's blades, named Bea and Arthur.
