Deadpool and Wolverine are set to hit the big screen soon, and fans have been eagerly anticipating Wade Wilson’s return. If you’re looking to catch up on the previous movies or simply enjoy the banter between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, you’re in luck.
In a recent Entertainment Weekly cover story, the two actors sat down to revisit the key events of the first two Deadpool movies, as well as X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The recap kicks off with a humorous nod to Origins, with both actors playfully poking fun at the film and how it paved the way for Reynolds to reprise his role as Deadpool. Throughout the discussion, there are plenty of laughs to be had, from the challenges of the makeup job to the abundance of “affordable” X-Men characters in the franchise.
Fans who have been following the dynamic between Reynolds and Jackman, especially since the announcement of Jackman’s involvement in Deadpool’s third installment, will enjoy the playful banter in the recap. The two stars have been heavily involved in promoting Deadpool and Wolverine, and their chemistry shines through as they tease each other, reminisce about past films, and even poke fun at their own careers.
While there’s no recap of Logan, the absence makes sense given that this is an alternate version of the characters. It would have been entertaining to see the actors attempt to navigate the convoluted timeline of the X-Men movies, but alas, that will have to wait for another time. Deadpool and Wolverine is set to premiere on July 26, so mark your calendars.
