Reynolds previously played Deadpool in Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018), both released by 20th Century Fox. Deadpool 3 moves the franchise to Marvel Studios and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Jackman played Wolverine in 20th Century's X-Men film series.

Reynolds and Jackman announced in a video in September that Jackman would reprise Wolverine in Deadpool 3.

"I really had to search my soul on this one. His first appearance in the MCU obviously obviously needs to feel special," Reynolds said. "We need to stay true to the character, find new depth, motivation, meaning every Deadpool needs to stand out and stand apart. It's been an incredible challenge that has forced me to reach down deep inside."
