In a normal movie, you work your ass off.
Theres a lot of sacrifice.

Luckily, Jackman had an epiphany: It was August 15, 2022.
I was driving at the start of a weeks vacation from Broadway.
The Broadway thing is full-onwe were nine months in, six days a week.
When you get a week off, theres something so miraculous about it and freeing.
And the first two things had nothing to do with workthen literally, I thought: Deadpool-Wolverine.
I want to do that movie.
Thats what I want.
Fairly quickly after came another thought: But youve already finished with Logan.
We stuck the landing.
What are people going to think?
And I just said to my brain: Stop.
Thats what I wanted.
Pairing Deadpool with Wolverine was exactly the hook they needed.
They both live in this violent shame cycle.
Deadpools a very verbose character.
Hes very feminine and kind of open and childlike.
And putting that next to a character whose archetype is very Clint Eastwood creates something pretty interesting.
Well see if the character makes the same observation when the film opens in theaters this July 26.
