In one of his recent tweets, Hugh Jackman revealed that although he loved filming Deadpool 3, his return as Wolverine also had some downsides.
Posting photos of himself getting his beard and hair ready for the role, Jackman said he loved filming ‘Deadpool 3,’ except for one thing:
“What a ride! I’ve loved every minute of making this movie. Well, not the training and diet but the other 93.2%. To the best cast and crew, thank you! You are all aces. To two of my best mates, Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy. I literally couldn’t have done this without you. Literally! July 26th can’t come soon enough. Time to shave.”

Jackman’s Physical Training for Wolverine Wasn’t That Easy
Despite hanging up his Wolverine claws after 2017’s ‘Logan,’ Jackman was drawn back to the role for ‘Deadpool 3.’ The actor’s training routine, as he shared on social media, included lifting weights and a diet of 8,000 calories per day. These efforts were necessary to look like Wolverine physically.
‘Deadpool 3‘ is the 34th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film, directed by Shawn Levy, has a creative team including writers Wendy Molyneaux, Lizzie Molyneaux-Loeglin, Rhett Reese, and Paul Wernick, along with contributions from Zeb Wells, Ryan Reynolds, and Levy himself.
The cast features Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, along with Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams, Brianna Hildebrand, and Jennifer Garner. The development of ‘Deadpool 3’ began under 20th Century Fox in November 2016 but experienced delays following Disney’s acquisition of the studio. Filming eventually commenced in May 2023 and concluded on January 24, 2024.
‘Deadpool 3’ is scheduled to be released on July 26. In addition to the movie, Jackman is also involved in other projects, including ‘Apostle Paul‘ and a rumored role in ‘The Good Spy.‘
