Ryan Reynolds Pens Heartfelt Tribute to Hugh Jackman for DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE

Aug 24, 2024


I know we’ve heard bits of the story of what led to Hugh Jackman to reprise his role as Wolverine again after he retired from playing the character after Logan. But, Ryan Reynolds has shared the story again with new details in a heartfelt tribute that he wrote for the actor.Reynolds also talks about working with Jackman on Deadpool & Wolverine and the things he learned from the experience. He wrote: “On August 14th, 2022, @thehughjackman stopped his car to call me.“He’d been having a crappy week… he’d had the flu, two flat tires and some random idiot egged his house. But what happened next, happened fast. He told me he wanted to bring The Wolverine back.“Months later, he not only brought Wolvie back into the light, he’d (at long last) wear the iconic yellow suit.“@slevydirect and I didn’t talk about it much, but we were feeling a TON of pressure; worrying about how we walk these characters into the MCU, worrying about all of our secret characters STAYING secret — along with so many moving parts. “But when Hugh stepped onto set in THAT SUIT… everyone knew something special was happening. I remember thinking everything was gonna be okay.“For months of filming and 100 years of editing and post production, I had a front row seat to WOLVERINE. Watching and learning from my friend and favourite actor. “Two things can be true: 1) Sometimes I eat too much sugar, and secretly egg his house so I can feel something. And 2) I can be both a fan and friend, simultaneously.“I met him in Sydney around 2007. Back then he was already a movie star and I walked onto set a supporting actor. Showing up midway through production isn’t too dissimilar to starting a new school. I was a nervous mess. “Film sets can have a scary imbalance of power and I remember seeing how he treated every member of the crew with genuine respect and appreciation. He made a case that the term ‘filmmaker’ isn’t just for people with their name on the poster.“I don’t know anyone more thoughtful, and classy than Hugh. He’ll do anything for someone he loves. He’ll do anything for someone he just met.“In Deadpool & Wolverine Hugh didn’t just make dreams come true for fans of Wolverine. He made MY dreams come true too. He is THE X-Man.”
