Deadpool debuted in the MCU, in a way, promoting Ryan Reynolds‘ new movie, and who liked it a lot was Hugh Jackman, the eternal Wolverine.

The actor known for his “rivalry” and friendship with Reynolds did not miss the opportunity to make fun of his colleague, who always quotes him everywhere, usually asking for his return as Wolverine.

Jackman commented on the video posted on Reynolds‘ Instagram and congratulated his friend. Except that the reason for the congratulations wasn’t exactly the movie Free Guy or his alleged “arrival” in the MCU alongside Korg, played by Taika Waititi.

“Wow! 4:12 and no mention of me. DP your therapy is working!!!” commented the actor on this truly remarkable achievement.

Fortnite is constantly collaborating with other properties – it has already done so with Rick and Morty, Superman, and many other brands.

Fortnite’s latest collaboration is with Ryan Reynolds’ movie Free Guy. In the film, Reynolds plays an NPC who realizes that he is in an open-world game about to be taken offline.

And, unsurprisingly, a Ryan Reynolds skin will then be made available in the game to celebrate the collaboration.

Like most crossovers released in Fortnite, the Free Guy skin will be available for purchase in the Item Store.

In addition to the Dude skin, you’ll also be able to compete in a series of Free Guy in-game challenges that can be found at ATMs around the island. When you find them, Reynolds’ character Guy will give you the missions.

The challenges can range from being hit by a moving vehicle to placing coins around the island. Complete the challenges, and you will be able to unlock the Good Guy emote entirely for free!

Hugh Jackman Comments Again on Rumors on Wolverine’s Return

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-11

Ever since he announced his departure from Wolverine‘s role, Hugh Jackman‘s return as the mutant has been on everyone’s radar.

The actor has again commented on the possibility, especially after some posts on Instagram where he appears alongside Kevin Feige, the CEO of Marvel Studios. Still, to the chagrin of Ryan Reynolds, nothing is on the way.

In an interview with Jake’s Takes, Jackman spoke again about rumors that he had received proposals from Marvel and the events of the Loki series, which would make it possible for him to join.

He denied everything and took the opportunity to joke once again with Deadpool’s Ryan Reynolds, who has been asking him to return so that they can act together again.

“It’s still a character I hold close to my heart, but I know it’s done. Tell that to whoever you want, but please tell it to Ryan [Reynolds]. Because he doesn’t believe it, he thinks I’m joking.“

Jackman said, once again ending the fans and Ryan Reynolds‘ hopes.

Deadpool and She-Hulk May Be Best Friends in the MCU

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-10

Fans are really looking forward to the Deadpool 3 release, the third chapter of a franchise that began in 2016.

The success of Marvel’s anti-hero was absolute from the very first moment, something we can attribute to the tremendous talent of Ryan Reynolds as the protagonist. The actor’s work has yielded a sequel and a third confirmed film, and future projects are starting to be discussed.

Deadpool 3 will arrive in 2023, but it will already bring a big difference from the first release. This will be the first time Wade Wilson is introduced into the MCU‘s history and mythology. Even though he had already brought references to the MCU movies, Deadpool never really became part of the same universe as Doctor Strange and Spider-Man.

Due to Reynolds’ busy schedule and the multiple projects that Marvel is developing simultaneously, Deadpool 3 filming is not expected to start until next year.

The latest rumor involving the series concerns a crossover. Apparently, Marvel is considering a friendship between Wade Wilson and Jennifer Walters’ heroine, She-Hulk. The biggest reason for this is that both series will have their protagonists breaking the fourth wall and interacting with the same audience.

Should we have a friendship between Deadpool and Walters? It will undoubtedly be terrific and well accepted by fans, especially if both appear in each other’s productions.

Also, Walters and Wilson have already crossed paths in the comics, even if it’s not something that happens very often.

The She-Hulk series is expected to be released in 2022 on Disney+.

Hugh Jackman Gives The Final Answer On His Return as Wolverine

PopCorn Princess 2021-08-10

Likely, the rumors involving Hugh Jackman as Wolverine will never really end; such has been the fans’ nostalgia for the iconic X-Men mutant.

Hugh Jackman decided to end fans’ curiosity and gave a definitive answer about returning to the Marvel Universe.

In an interview with ScreenRant, while promoting his new film, Reminiscence, he was asked whether or not he would return to play Wolverine now that the X-Men franchise will be included in the MCU.

“It’s in my past, man. Don’t tell anyone, alright?

Let me just say one more thing. Because as I said that, there’s not a day goes by where I’m not unbelievably grateful for having been part of that MCU Universe. Particularly to be there at the beginning of it, and to watch it. To see Kevin Feige going from being an assistant to a producer and a mate of mine, to where he is today. And that was a role of a lifetime.

So, I don’t ever want people to feel that when I say I’m done, it’s a glib thing. It was one of the great chapters of my life..”

Jackman debuted as Logan in 2000 in the first successful X-Men adaptation. He quickly became synonymous with the character, as did Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man.

It was so successful that Jackman appeared in the film’s sequels, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand.

But he didn’t stop there. Hugh would play Logan again in the character’s solo films: X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The Wolverine. Jackman also appeared in X-Men: Days of Future Past before his last movie with Logan. The film was marked to be the character’s farewell, which many fans considered one of the best hero movies in history.

It’s not a spoiler for anyone, but we know that Logan dies at the end and stars in one of the most beautiful scenes in all Marvel. The movie marked the end of an era, much as it did when Downey Jr. said goodbye to Iron Man.
