Ryan Reynolds Praises Hugh Jackman’s Stunts in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

In a recent interview, Ryan Reynolds expressed his admiration for his friend and co-star Hugh Jackman while working on the set of the upcoming Marvel film ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ Reynolds, known for his roles in ‘The Green Lantern’ and ‘The Adam Project,’ was particularly impressed by Jackman’s work ethic and physical transformation for the role of Logan/Wolverine.

Reynolds, who reprises his role as Deadpool for the third time, shared his amazement at Jackman’s commitment, noting the actor’s dedication to stunts and choreography. Despite not playing Wolverine since 2017’s ‘Logan’ and taking on fewer action roles recently, Jackman, 57, brought a remarkable level of energy and precision to the set. Reynolds attributed part of this to Jackman’s background in stage performance, which provided a strong foundation for the intense fight scenes in the film.

Jackman himself acknowledged the influence of his dance training on his ability to handle complex choreography, crediting longtime second unit director Brian Smrz for underscoring its importance. Jackman, who has extensive dance experience, expressed appreciation for the meticulous process involved in action choreography.
