“I have nothing,” Reynolds concludes after the montage. That’s when Jackman walks into frame behind Reynolds while brushing his teeth. “Hugh, you want to play Wolverine one more time?” Reynolds asks him. “Yeah, sure, Ryan,” Jackman replies nonchalantly while ascending a staircase.
Then, we hear a version of Whitney Houston’s cover of “I Will Always Love You,” with “you” changed to “Hugh.” The Deadpool logo appears with three claw marks rent through it.
Deadpool 3 boasts a script penned by Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin and co-written by Reynolds. Shawn Levy is at the helm.
