Hugh Jackman has fun with Deadpool’s joke about playing Wolverine until he’s 90
On his Instagram, 55-year-old Hugh Jackman had a little fun with a joke at his expense in the blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine.
In the film, Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool tweaks his on-screen and real-life buddy that Disney is going to make him play Wolverine “’til you’re 90.”
Jackman posted a video of himself looking pretty banged up at the end of the film. The snippet, set to Madonna‘s “Like A Prayer,” features Deadpool’s whispered tease on a loop.
It freezes with a title card reading, “See you in 2058.”
The Oscar-nominated actor will in fact be a nonagenarian that year.
Deadpool & Wolverine is expected to break the billion-dollar mark in its third weekend in theaters.
One of the bigger updates revealed at the recent D23 expo was a sneak peek at footage of Daredevil: Born Again, a show that will reunite Charlie Cox as the titular blind vigilante aka Matt Murdock with Vincent D’Onofrio as Wilson Fisk/Kingpin.
The pair first starred together in character in Netflix’s former Marvel shows, which ended in 2018. But they separately reprised their roles: Cox appeared in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home and on the Disney+ shows She-Hulk: Attorney at Law and Echo; D’Onofrio’s Kingpin returned on the small screen in Hawkeye and Echo, its spin-off.
Pardon the Daredevil pun, but Cox didn’t see it all coming, he told People.
“I’d moved on and occasionally Vincent and I would chat and he would say things like ‘Oh, they’re going to call … us.’ And I would get off the phone and be like, ‘The guy’s delusional! He’s got to let it go. It’s going to be 10 years … It’s definitely over.'”
But Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige indeed called Cox in 2020 about his No Way Home cameo, and the other projects followed.
Daredevil: Born Again has yet to announce a release date.
The show was initially a more PG-13 version of Cox’s red-suited hero — as seen in She-Hulk — but Feige and company retooled.
They reshot much of the show, delighting fans with the news it will hew closer to the Netflix shows’ more mature ratings — and also bring back Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle/The Punisher, as well as other Netflix Marvel show vets Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll, respectively reprising as Franklin “Foggy” Nelson and Karen Page.
When it comes to the future of the Emmy magnet Apple TV+ comedy Ted Lasso, the coach has the ball.
That’s the word from the show’s co-creator Bill Lawrence, who tells Colliderthat a fourth season of the beloved show is a possibility — but only if its titular manager Jason Sudeikis puts the whistle back on.
“Whatever Jason feels like doing and whatever his decision is, we’re all down with it,” Lawrence tells the website.
He adds, “Not only is he the star, he’s the head writer, and he’s also the dude whose life just has to be completely overhauled and moved to a foreign country with young children. It’s a big deal.”
For the record, Lawrence wants to see a season 4, too. “So, as a fan, if someone’s like, ‘Oh, it’s gonna happen again,’ I’ll go nuts. As a partner, I’m down for whatever he wants to do.”
So, for now, Lasso fans, do like the sign in AFC Richmond’s locker room says: “Believe.”
The Bear star Jeremy Allen White is getting ready to play The Boss.
The actor, who has been cast to play Bruce Springsteen in the new movie Deliver Me From Nowhere, reveals in the latest issue of GQ that he’s working on getting the voice right to play the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer.
“I’m really lucky that there’s sort of a team of folks now in place to help young actors portray rock stars,” he says with a laugh. “I’ve got a really talented group of people helping me train vocally, musically, to get ready for this thing.”
He also notes how fortunate he feels that Springsteen supports the film, sharing, “I’ve had some access to him and he’s just the greatest guy.”
White’s also been looking at old footage of Springsteen in preparation for the role.
“It’s really great to go down a YouTube rabbit hole and find him at all these different periods in his life and be able to listen to his speaking voice as well as his singing voice,” he says. “That’s kind of been the deal, just listening to him a lot and watching him a lot. It’s been really fun preparing.”
Deliver Me From Nowhere, based on Warren Zanes‘ book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, follows Springsteen’s efforts to make his solo album, Nebraska.
