Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman planning to work together again after Deadpool & Wolverine

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman have another project lined up.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman had such a blast shooting Deadpool & Wolverine that they’re already planning their next on-screen collaboration.

The close friends will soon be seen sharing the screen as their comic book characters Deadpool and Wolverine for the first time since 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Following their highly-anticipated reunion, the duo are keen to keep the collaboration going and have already got another joint project in the works – one that doesn’t involve superheroes.

“We have one we’re looking to do soon,” Reynolds teased in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, before going on to explain why their partnership works so well.

“I would say that (ours) is like any relationship that is successful and works: It’s that two parties are rooting for each other,” he praised. “I’m always rooting for Hugh to score and win. I also know the infinite nuance of his heart and his mind and who he is. I can say firsthand that he’s a person who’s not just worth rooting for, he’s somebody who’s impossible to not root for.”

Reynolds and Jackman met for the first time in 2008 on the set of Wolverine’s first standalone spin-off film, in which Reynolds made his debut as Wade Wilson/Deadpool.

In the interview, the Free Guy star recalled how Jackman and the crew happily shot another take of Deadpool’s lift sequence instead of going home at the end of the day.

“I just, in a cursory sense, said, ‘I wish I had another crack at that elevator scene that we shot earlier today.’ I’m realising what I could have done, the jetlag is wearing off, and I’m starting to see it,” Reynolds remembered. “This guy (Jackman) just fired up the lights in there, asked everyone to hop in the elevator. Their willingness to come back is what really spoke volumes about Hugh. There was not even a moment’s hesitation.”

Their big-screen reunion in Deadpool & Wolverine debuts in cinemas on 25 July.
