A Marvel director discusses teaming up Deadpool and Wolverine in a film.

Marvel director Shawn Levy recently shared his experience of bringing Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman together onscreen for Deadpool 3.

Speaking to PEOPLE, Levy expressed, “I knew they were professionals. I knew they were the loveliest of gentlemen, but when you see them as Deadpool and Wolverine, something electric happens.”

Levy further shared, “And you're in the presence of icons and even as their good buddy, that gave me a thrill many a day.”

The director emphasized, “Hugh, Ryan, and I are very good friends in real life. We spend a lot of time together in real life.” Reflecting on directing the third Deadpool movie, Levy described it as a “fun experience putting together an R-rated project like Deadpool & Wolverine”.

He humorously added, “It has corrupted my soul in ways that might be irrevocable.”

Levy pointed out, “I often joke to Ryan that I was a nice Canadian boy who didn't work blue… now I'm riffing R-rated content alongside the best in the business. So, it's a fun one for sure.”

Additionally, Jackman and Reynolds dropped a teaser trailer for their upcoming Deadpool movie during the Super Bowl show on Sunday. The third installment of the Deadpool movie (AKA on some websites i.e. Deadpool and Wolverine) is set to release in theaters on July 26, 2024.
