Hugh Jackman has taken a playful jab at his Deadpool & Wolverine co-star Ryan Reynolds, continuing their long-standing tradition of friendly banter. In a recent interview, Jackman humorously remarked on Reynolds’ presence on set, saying, “Ryan Reynolds takes up so much air in the room. It’s crazy, just an insatiable need. Or a vat of needs and wants.” This jest underscores the duo’s off-screen camaraderie and their penchant for light-hearted teasing. ComicBook.com
Their on-set interactions were equally spirited. Jackman, reprising his role as Wolverine, quipped about the physical demands of filming with Reynolds, stating, “I think it’s fair to say they’ll be punching the s— out of each other the whole time.” This comment highlights the intense action sequences the two actors engaged in during production.

Reynolds, known for his quick wit, responded in kind. He joked about the intensity of their scenes, saying he feared being “decapitated” by Jackman’s relentless portrayal of Wolverine. Reynolds added, “When Hugh Jackman is coming at you at 150 Australian miles per hour, you feel like there’s no way you’re not going to be dead in four seconds.” Screen Rant+2Y94+2People.com+2
The film itself doesn’t shy away from poking fun at real-life events. One scene features Reynolds’ Deadpool making a tongue-in-cheek reference to Jackman’s personal life, joking that Wolverine has “let himself go since the divorce,” alluding to Jackman’s separation from his wife in 2023. People.com
