Deadpool & Wolverine: Hugh Jackman Posts Heartfelt Video

As a long-time Marvel fan who has followed Hugh Jackman‘s incredible journey as Wolverine since the early X-Men films, I can’t help but feel a sense of pure elation seeing Deadpool & Wolverine cross the $1 billion mark at the box office. The anticipation for this movie was palpable from the moment it was announced, and it has been nothing short of a thrill ride ever since.


Actor Hugh Jackman, famously known for his roles as Deadpool and Wolverine from Marvel, is commemorating the movie reaching a staggering $1 billion at the box office. He’s giving credit to all the fans who joined him on the global press tour for the film. This cinematic spectacle began its journey just a few months ago, traversing various continents. The excitement among Marvel enthusiasts was palpable even then. Indeed, the idea of combining Deadpool and Wolverine in a single movie promised an unforgettable experience. Reflecting on it now, it’s clear that this extensive promotional campaign played a crucial role in positioning Deadpool & Wolverine to reach this $1 billion milestone. Here’s what Jackman shared on social media:

In a note labeled “Kevin Feige’s Desk,” the Marvel Cinematic Universe mastermind expressed gratitude towards fans for venturing to cinemas and contributing to the film’s blockbuster status, catapulting it into a global sensation. Kevin Feige acknowledged that Marvel Studios’ first R-rated movie had become the highest-grossing of all time, stating, “It’s incredible to witness audiences appreciating this film as much as we did during production. All those discussions were truly worthwhile!”

Wolverine’s Triumphant Return To Marvel

Many Marvel enthusiasts can recall vividly the location they were at when Hugh Jackman declared his reprisal as Wolverine. At that time, the title for the third Deadpool movie hadn’t been revealed yet. However, Ryan Reynolds made sure to establish the atmosphere from the very start of the announcement. The photograph of Jackman and Reynolds casually seated on a couch, expressing gratitude towards Kevin Feige, was truly extraordinary. Now that Deadpool & Wolverine is in cinemas, the actor from Logan took a moment to reminisce on social media about returning to Marvel being one of the most significant moments of his life.

On September 4, 2022, I captured a special moment: the shooting of a secret project with @vancityreynolds to reveal that Deadpool and Wolverine were joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This project was later named “Becoming Wolverine Again.” As Jackman had previously shared, this is one of the most significant moments in my life. When Ryan asked if I was absolutely sure, I confidently replied yes, and we proceeded with the filming under the direction of @slevydirect and @maximumeffort, hoping it wouldn’t leak. To our delight, it didn’t! Now, this project is playing in cinemas worldwide.
