‘Something Special’: Ryan Reynolds Recalls Meeting Deadpool & Wolverine Co-Star Hugh Jackman For First Time In Social Media Tribute

As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for Hollywood dynamics and a deep appreciation for the art of storytelling, I find myself constantly inspired by the camaraderie and mutual respect that emanates from the world of filmmaking. The recent Instagram post by Ryan Reynolds serves as a perfect example of this beautiful bond shared between colleagues, particularly his heartfelt tribute to Hugh Jackman and their journey together in Deadpool & Wolverine.


Ryan Reynolds has consistently honored his co-stars from Deadpool and Wolverine ever since its debut. On various social media platforms, he’s reminisced about the contributions made by Channing Tatum, Jennifer Garner, and others. Most recently, the actor shared thoughts on their shared journey with Hugh Jackman.

Reynolds posted on Instagram on August 18, 2024, explaining how the only Marvel movie released this year became a reality following a call from Hugh Jackman on August 14, 2022.

After mentioning this, the actor shared that Jackman was experiencing a tough week, dealing with the flu, punctured tires, and an unexpected egging of his home by an unknown individual. Nevertheless, the actor chose to revive one of Jackman’s most iconic performances – as Wolverine – on screen once more.

Furthermore, Reynolds pointed out that the actor from The Greatest Showman didn’t merely resurrect the antihero role, but rather, he donned a unique, comic book-precise yellow costume for the first time.

Discussing the challenges faced during the production of Deadpool and Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds explained that director Shawn Levy and himself were under constant pressure while filming. However, they rarely spoke about it. In a post on Instagram, Reynolds reminisced about their concerns: keeping the cameos a secret and finding the perfect way to reintroduce these iconic characters to the audience once more.

Nonetheless, The Proposal’s actor went on to say that as soon as Hugh Jackman donned that suit, it became evident to everyone that something extraordinary was unfolding.

Talking about himself, even Reynolds thought that the filming was going to work out just fine.

Additionally, Reynolds elaborated on the fact that he’s learning from Hugh Jackman by observing his films, and humorously commented, “It’s possible for two things to be true: 1) Occasionally, I overindulge in sugar, and play a prank on his house just to feel something. And 2) I can admire him as a fan while still considering him a friend at the same time.”

In the near future, Ryan Reynolds, star of The Adam Project, reminisced about encountering Hugh Jackman in Sydney during the filming of X-Men Origins: Wolverine back in 2007. Although Jackman was already well-established, Reynolds joined the cast midway through production as a supporting actor, likening it to embarking on a fresh educational adventure.

At that moment, Reynolds shared that Hugh Jackman had shown respect towards everyone and acknowledged their hard work, despite his own nerves.

Wrapping up our conversation, Rayn Reynolds couldn’t help but praise his Marvel comrade as a truly classy individual, always lending a helping hand to those nearby.

In the continuation of the article, it’s mentioned that the latest film saw Hugh Jackman fulfilling the wishes of comic enthusiasts, as well as Ryan Reynolds, who affectionately referred to Jackman as “The X-Man.”

In response to his heartfelt comments, Hugh Jackman posted a message saying he had been moved to tears once more and shared the post on his Instagram story.
