Why Hugh Jackman Decided to Return as Wolverine in ＂Deadpool 3＂

Last time you were here, I said to you, you're going to play Wolverine. You said, absolutely not. I'm done. I'm done with Wolverine. That Wolverine is a goldmine. He's so smart. I'm digging it. Of course you're digging it. But why would you walk away from that? Let some other shithead do this. You know what it was? I saw Deadpool and all I kept thinking was 48 hours. Nick Nolte, Eddie Murphy. Oh my God, Wolverine, Deadpool. And I remember thinking, no, you've already said no, put it out of your head. And I was on vacation. And I was driving out to the Hamptons. The question came up, what do you want? What do you want? And I just went, I want to play Wolverine and I want to do Deadpool Wolverine. And then by the end of the trip, I didn't even make it to the end. I stopped to pee somewhere and I got out of the car and I rang Ryan. I said, dude, I don't know where you're at. I think you're about to do Deadpool 3, but if you want, I'm in. I want to do all those years. And he goes, are you serious? I said, I'm a hundred percent serious. He goes, dude, I have a meeting with Kevin Feige in three hours from now. And we have a pitch for Deadpool 3 that you are not in. Um, but I have a feeling they're going to say no. And he goes, I don't think we've got a movie here. Are you seriously in? I said, I'm seriously in. He goes, I'm going to tell Kevin. He goes, tell him. So I hung up the phone and I felt so good about it. I actually rang my agent and I said, oh, I should probably tell you I'm in. And he goes, awesome. That it felt so easy. That scene where the two of you fight in the car. It's the great. So Ryan is obsessed with trains, planes, automobiles. And do you remember the scene where Steve Martin loses it? They're having to share that hotel bed and he goes, you know, yeah, chatty, caffeine, and he just completely loses it. And it cuts to John Candy. It's like, I like me. I know I'm an easy target. You can make fun of me. I get it. But I like me. That scene in the van is totally from that scene in trains, planes, automobiles, and, and Ryan wrote it. Yeah.
