Hugh Jackman will begin production for the Deadpool sequel this year as he finishes off his Broadway run of The Music Man. Ryan Reynolds’ co-star Hugh Jackman will also be playing Wolverine in this movie.
In a new interview on HBO Max, the actor talks about how long it will take to get back in shape to portray the superhero. “I’ve learned you can’t rush it. I’ve learned that it takes time,” he said. “So, we have six months from when I finish [Broadway’s The Music Man] to when I started filming. And I’m not doing any other work. I’m going to be with my family and train. That’s going to be my job for six months.”
He also said, “And I’m really fit right now. There’s one thing that about eight shows a week being on Broadway singing and dancing, is I’m fit. So, I’m healthy. I have a good place to start.”
The third installment of Deadpool is slated for release on November 8, 2024.
