‘His skincare regime alone would bankrupt you’: Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman bring banter and bromance to London


Deadpool & Wolverine owes much to its characters riffing off a real-life 20-year friendship which, its stars say, is founded on mutual respect – for all its low blows and joviality

The enduring friendship between the actors Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman was unpacked in irreverent detail in London on Friday, as the pair premiered their new movie, Deadpool & Wolverine. The stars, who frequently tease one another both in the press and on X, take the leads in Marvel’s latest blockbuster, which sees foul-mouthed superhero Deadpool(Reynolds) exhume and then team-up with the beleaguered Wolverine (Jackman), seven years after his apparent death in 2017’s Logan. While children’s sequels have sustained the summer box office so far, with Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 breaking records and Illumination/Universal’s Despicable Me 4 following hot on its heels, it is widely anticipated more adult fare will dominate going forward.
