Deadpool & Wolverine is one of the buzziest superhero films coming our way this summer, and Marvel just added some more fuel to the fire. The first full trailer for this highly-anticipated blockbuster is here and it sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman going head-to-head.

Deadpool & Wolverine kicks off with Wade Wilson trying to lead a peaceful life until the Time Variance Authority pulls him out of his timeline. He must embark on a mission with Wolverine and try to change the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe before it’s too late.

In addition to Reynolds and Jackman in the titular roles, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Brianna Hildebrand will reprise their roles from the previous Deadpool movies. They’ll be joined by Emma Corrin, Matthew Macfadyen, and Jennifer Garner.

Deadpool & Wolverine is the first Deadpool film in the MCU, and its director Shawn Levy wanted it to shine a spotlight on both characters.

“It’s the third Deadpool movie, but it’s not Deadpool 3. It’s a different thing that’s very much Deadpool and Wolverine. And it’s not trying to copycat anything from the first two movies. They were awesome, but this is a two-hander character adventure,” he told Screen Rant.

Deadpool & Wolverine will be released on July 26, as a part of Phase Five of the MCU.

We’ve all thought that Logan marked Hugh Jackman’s last appearance as Wolverine, but he’s finally ready for more! The Oscar-nominated actor is getting ready to bring back the claws and play the beloved X-Men hero in the upcoming sequel Deadpool 3.

After years of playful revelry, Ryan Reynolds took it upon himself to reveal that Jackman is joining Deadpool 3. He shared a funny video that shows him “searching his soul” and “finding new depth, motivation, meaning” for the upcoming sequel, but coming up empty—until the very end of the video.

At one point, Hugh Jackman walks into the frame, and Reynolds asks him, “Hey, Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?” He simply replies with, “Yeah, sure, Ryan”, before walking up the stairs, thus confirming his return as his most iconic character.

Deadpool 3 marks the reunion between Jackman and Reynolds after they both appeared in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The reviews for this film were largely mixed and Reynolds’s portrayal of Deadpool wasn’t well-received, but he had a chance to redeem himself in standalone movies.

Deadpool 3 will be released on September 6, 2024, with Shawn Levy coming on board as a director. Plot details are being kept under wraps, and the rest of the cast is yet to be announced.

Hugh Jackman is taking the Broadway stage — again!

Producer of the 1957’s The Music Man’s revival, Scott Rudin, confirmed Wednesday that the 50-year old Australian actor has been cast as the musical classic’s lead.

The news was then confirmed by Jackman himself who took to Twitter and captioned a photo of a suitcase and trombone with a luggage tag reading “Professor Harold Hill,” with “The Music Man. Broadway. October 22, 2020.”

“The first musical I was ever part of was the phenomenal The Music Man,” said Jackman in a statement. “The year was 1983, and I was at Knox Grammar School in Sydney, Australia. I was one of the traveling salesmen, and I think I can actually (almost) remember that unforgettable opening number! That was probably the moment when the magic of theater was born in me. The idea of bringing The Music Man back to Broadway has been lurking in the back of my brain for a long time, maybe even for 35 years. When Scott Rudin called me with that very idea, I was floored. To finally be doing this is a huge thrill.”

Rudin said, “There is just no way to accurately describe the level of excitement I feel about the opportunity to present Hugh in what I think is the best role ever written for an actor in all of Broadway musical theater. Although I have spent a lot of time and energy wishing there was a way to stop the passage of time, this is the one moment when I wish it would just move faster. I can’t wait for us to begin working on this together in earnest.”

The 2020 revival of the Meredith Wilson-composed musical will be directed by Jerry Zaks, with choreography by Tony Award winner Warren Carlyle.

Hugh Jackman is taking a break from acting in order to pursue his other passion – music. The Australian actor recently announced that he will embark on a world musical tour, titled The Man. The Music. The Show, next summer. The tour will see Jackman performing music from Les Misérables and The Greatest Showman as well as from his other films and Broadway shows like Boy From Oz.

“I am doing a big arena tour,” said Jackman on NBC’s Today. “This is a dream come true for me. I’ve done it in Australia but now I’m going around the world. I’m going to cities all over America, we’re going to Europe, we’re going to to the U.K., we’re going back to Australia and New Zealand. I’m singing, I’m dancing, I’m telling stories.”

On this tour, Hugh Jackman will be accompanied by a live 26-piece orchestra and “about 30 singers and dancers.” The 50-year-old also said that he will bring special guests for the shows and that he will try to make every performance into a party.

The U.S. leg of The Man. The Music. The Show tour will kick off on June 18, 2019, in Houston and is scheduled to wrap up with two shows at Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl on July 19th and 20th.

This won’t be the first time that Jackman performs in concerts as he already performed several similar shows in 2011 in California and Canada. Jackman also had two Broadway music concerts, 2011’s Hugh Jackman: Back on Broadway and 2015’s Broadway to Oz.

Hugh Jackman is a man of many talents and no matter which one of them he focuses on – he never disappoints. The Australian actor will have another chance to impress us in his upcoming project The Front Runner.

The first trailer for this political drama just dropped, and it’s already generating Oscar buzz. Jackman portrays politician Gary Hart, who was the front-runner for the Democratic ticket in the 1988 presidential election before an extramarital affair completely ruined his reputation.

Director Jason Reitman was attracted to this moment in history because he believes it was the first time tabloid and political journalism drove into the same lane. He wanted to work with Jackman for years, and he saw The Front Runner as the perfect project to join forces with this brilliant artist.

“He resembles Gary Hart, and he feels like a politician. What was exciting for me was the process of watching an actor who fearlessly dives into whatever he’s doing… Whether it’s physicality or fighting or singing or dancing, whatever Hugh Jackman approaches, he does with an immeasurable amount of research and passion,” explained Reitman.

The Front Runner is scheduled for a limited release on November 7, but it will go wide two weeks later. It already had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival, and the early reviews are suggesting Jackman gave another Oscar-worthy performance.

After seven years of development, planning and production, The Greatest Showman will hit screens December.

Even after nine films as Wolverine, playing the godfather of the modern circus was a definite challenge for Hugh Jackman. The movie is set in the mid-1800s and tells the life story of P.T. Barnum rise from childhood poverty to his successful launch of a New York circus.

The movie starring Michelle Williams as Barnum’s wife charity, was supposed to be a biopic, however, that changed as it was decided that song and dance numbers will be added to the film. That’s essentially how the biographical movie, turned into a musical. In charge of the sound are La La Land’s Oscar winning songwriters Benj Hasek and Justin Paul.

Jackman was somewhat surprised at the amount of action that took place on the set of The Greatest Showman. The re-creation of the iconic circus also stars Zendaya as a trapeze artist. After training for months, Zendaya perfected her skills to a point that Jackman was completely wowed by her.

“Before I went up [in the trapeze] he goes, ‘Zendaya, you’re a badass,'” she says. “How many people have Hugh say, ‘You’re a badass’? Nobody gets that!”

The Greatest Showman opens in theaters on Christmas Day.
