Hugh Jackman Reflects On Reuniting With Ke Huy Quan 25 Years After Working In X-Men Movie: ‘Cool To See Him And…’

Jackman posted a delightful picture taken at Feige’s ceremony, where he was seen standing next to the actor from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom movie, with both of them striking a pose for the camera.

I enthusiastically marked a milestone today, 25 years since the unforgettable collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine in X-Men! As a dedicated fan, it’s hard to believe that Hugh Jackman made his iconic debut as Wolverine in that film, while Kung Lei, a vital part of the stunt team, crafted those exhilarating fight scenes. #deadpoolandwolverine #xmen

In a voiceover, Jackman expressed that it’s incredibly meaningful for him to see the movie release because there are so many moments that remind him of the 25 years he has portrayed Wolverine, particularly in reference to his latest superhero film, Deadpool and Wolverine.

Later, he mentioned, “I bumped into Ke Huy Quan – who just won an Oscar not long ago, and his life story and career are truly inspiring – and we recognized each other since we collaborated on X-Men. We happily greeted each other with a warm embrace.”

As a seasoned movie buff with a keen eye for action sequences, I can attest that Jackman’s praise for Quan’s stunt work in X-Men was well deserved. Having had the privilege of watching these movies unfold over the years, I can vouch for the fact that Quan’s incredible performances on the stunt team truly elevated the action sequences to new heights.

Ke Huy Quan shared a collection of photos on social media, one of which depicted him alongside Hugh Jackman during their meeting. He accompanied this with a detailed message, disclosing that he had encountered Deadpool and Wolverine, expressing his delight as it was “amazing.” The actor also mentioned that he recently bumped into Jackman, sharing that the last time they met was “a quarter of a century ago” on the set of Bryan Singer’s X-Men where he was learning to portray Wolverine.

He found that he was just as friendly as before, and offered his heartfelt congratulations to @thehughjackman, @vancityreynolds, and the entire Deadpool crew for their box office success. Well done! 🎉🥳 (clapping emojis)

Currently, Deadpool and Wolverine can be seen in theaters. The movie stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Leslie Uggams, Rob Delaney, Karan Soni, Matthew Macfadyen, Morena Baccarin, and numerous other skilled actors.
