Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman tease fans with Deadpool 3 ‘explainer’

The pair have just dropped a video where they promise to explain how Wolverine will come back from the dead in Deadpool 3, after Reynolds announced yesterday that Jackman would reprise his iconic role in the next Deadpool film.

“You have questions,” Reynolds begins.

“You have questions, I had a lot of questions, but rest assured, we’re going to answer them right now,” adds Jackman.

“Like, for example, how is Wolverine alive? After Logan.”

Logan is the 2017 film about Wolverine (whose first name is Logan). For those who haven’t seen the film, Wolverine is killed off in the film, where he is understood to have died for good.

“Logan takes place in 2029 – totally separate thing,” says Reynolds. “Logan died in Logan. Not touching that,” he assures.

He then goes on, “what actually happens in our film,” – but before he can finish his sentence, the music for the song Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go begins to play.

The music then appears to take over Jackman and Reynolds’ own voices, until they’re completely mute, and all that can be heard are the song’s opening words “jitterbug”.

That doesn’t stop the cheeky duo from completely an over-the-top physical demonstration of what supposedly happens in Deadpool 3, complete with graphic hand gestures, mimed head punching and plenty of grimacing faces. It’s definitely worth a watc

The pair both shared the video to their Instagram grids, with Jackman captioning it: “Some answers-ish.”

“ish” is right.

Reynolds went even further, teasing fans by re-sharing the video on his Instagram Stories, with the caption: “Quick explainer video that tackles… 1) Timeline questions, 2) Logan canon, 3) MCU FAQ, 4) Whether we can do this all day or not.”

Fans have lapped up the video entirely.

“Talk about spoilers. Wow!” one person joked in the comments.

“I guarantee that fight scene they just acted out will be in the movie. Lol,” another wrote.

“OK, so where are our lip readers at?” a third person commented.
