Hugh Jackman shared the bittersweet moment of wrapping up filming for the latest superhero movie, expressing gratitude to director Shawn Levy and co-star Ryan Reynolds.
In a behind-the-scenes photo featuring the two actors looking worn out in their iconic costumes, Hugh Jackman bids adieu to Wolverine’s adamantium claws, while Ryan Reynolds dons Deadpool’s red and black suit with a touch of movie magic grime.
Expressing his gratitude, Jackman’s post reads: “What a ride! I’ve loved every minute of making this movie. Well … not the 4a training or the steamed fish and veg 4 x a day for 6 months but the other 93.2%. A collective thank you to the entire cast and crew. You are all aces! If you’re reading this and think I mean you, I do. To two of my best mates @vancityreynolds and @slevydirect I literally couldn’t have done this without you. LITERALLY! July 26th can’t come soon enough. Time to shave.”
Ryan Reynolds also took to social media to share his thoughts on the conclusion of the movie, posting a cheeky photo in Deadpool’s suit. Reynolds wrote, “The suit hides blood. Also sweat… But today, with Deadpool wrapping, it’s mostly tears. A giant and forever thanks to the cast and crew of our film who battled wind, rain, strikes and @thehughjackman… all under the stalwart leadership of @slevydirect.”
Reynolds concluded with a nod to his friendship with Jackman and Levy: “I got to make a movie with my closest pals, and that doesn’t happen very often. See ya July 26th…”
Fans can anticipate an emotional and action-packed release on July 26th as these two iconic actors bring their beloved characters to the big screen one last time.
