Hugh Jackman Shares 'One of the Most Important Moments' of His Life on Instagram

As a seasoned film enthusiast with decades of cinematic adventures under my belt, I can confidently say that the union of Deadpool and Wolverine has proven to be the comeback kid the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) desperately needed.

Warning: This article has spoilers for Deadpool & Wolverine.

Summary

    star Hugh Jackman shared a throwback photo from the day he and Ryan Reynolds shot the announcement video for the film.
  • The film’s massive box office success brings some much-needed hype back to the MCU after the slower period following
    Avengers: Endgame
    .
  • The possibility of Wolverine appearing in Phase 6 would elevate the upcoming films, and serve as Jackman’s official sendoff.

Hugh Jackman, the actor who shared the screen with Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) in ruling the global box office, took to social media to commemorate the start of his Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) journey. In a throwback post on Instagram, he shared a photo from the day they filmed the video announcing their official inclusion in the MCU and their upcoming film together. This nostalgic share comes as Deadpool and Wolverine’s movie has emerged as the most successful in Phase 5 of the MCU, sparking excitement among fans.

In this image, Jackman and Reynolds are conversing outdoors, planning their approach to revealing that Deadpool and Wolverine would be part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Jackman recounted the event in his post caption. “This picture is from September 4, 2022,” he noted. “Only a handful of individuals, including @vancityreynolds and I, were privy to the fact that we were going to produce a small project to disclose the collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine in the MCU. ‘Becoming Wolverine Again’ was conceived. It’s one of the most significant moments in my life. In truth, Ryan asked me if I was certain at that exact instant. Yes, I was! I am!”

Before the announcement, Jackman and Reynolds had a funny back-and-forth on social media, exchanging friendly jabs about each other’s characters and work. Reynolds even tossed some good-natured jeers at Jackman in the first two Deadpool movies, which made their eventual partnership in the third film all the more rewarding. The fact that many past Fox/Marvel characters were brought back for cameos was just an extra treat.

If you happen to have missed our announcement video, let me share it with you once more – its witty charm remains undiminished since it was published on September 27, 2022.

Although it remains uncertain about the future of these two iconic Marvel characters, we might not need to wait much longer. With the D23 Expo just around the corner, it’s possible that we’ll get clearer information soon.

Deadpool & Wolverine Saved the MCU

The timing for the popularity of Deadpool & Wolverine couldn’t have been more ideal for the comic book movie universe. It’s no secret that Marvel has faced challenges to stay fresh in pop culture since the release of Avengers: Endgame. Many believed audiences were growing tired of superheroes due to an abundance of lackluster content. However, this film managed to achieve two objectives: revitalize the star power within the MCU that appeared to be dwindling and produce box office revenue demonstrating that the franchise continues to thrive.

In its second weekend, the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine” earned an impressive $97 million at the box office, bringing its domestic total to over $395 million. This makes it the highest-earning film in Phase 5 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, surpassing “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.” Globally, the film has grossed over $824 million, demonstrating that audiences are eager to watch a blockbuster movie featuring larger-than-life characters.

The remaining query is whether Wolverine will show up in Phase 6, given that Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars are coming up. Including Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine a few more times could make these movies truly iconic, and it would provide a fitting farewell for him since he’ll be nearing 60 when Phase 6 concludes.
