The ‘Deadpool’ fans were missing the pinching humor of Wade Wilson. But, Ryan Reynolds made the fans go into a frenzy when he announced that he will be returning with the third installment of the franchise. In a casual announcement video, Ryan first apologized for not making it to the D23 expo due to a busy schedule filming the next part of Deadpool. However, in the video, he asked Hugh Jackman if he would like to star in the next Deadpool. Jackman casually agreed to it.

It all started with the ‘X-Men Origins: Wolverine’. Since then, they have been going strong. Now, the ‘Free Guy’ actor got wise words from Hugh Jackman for his musical film ‘Spirited’.

It Was Pretty Wild For The Star To Do A Musical
The first and foremost reason for Ryan to do ‘Spirited’ was to hang out with the SNL legend Will Ferrell. But, it was a pretty wild ride for the actor. In an interview, he was asked whether he reconsidered his decision to star in the musical. Ryan answered, “There is no point throughout this entire process that I haven’t questioned that idea. I thought like, ‘God, there must have been a simpler way to hang out with Will.’ ”
He continued, “There must be something easier than 3 and a half months of tap dancing rehearsals, and choreography meetings, and rehearsals, and singing lessons, and all kinds of stuff. So it was pretty wild.”
Ryan was thankful for Will’s company. He said “I got to say, it was a real tightrope walk, but the good thing, at least I feel, is that I had this guy with me, Will. We were together every step of the way. We were both in the same boat, and that made it feel a lot less lonely and daunting. We got to kind of link arms and go down this next ripple tap dancing number with each other.”
