‘X-Men’ Actor Vinnie Jones Turned Down ‘Deadpool 3’ Due to ‘Mental Toll’ of Juggernaut Suit, Says Making ‘The Last Stand’ Was ‘Shambles’ and ‘I Was Very Upset’
Vinnie Jones debuted as Juggernaut in "X-Men: The Last Stand" and had the chance to play the character again in "Deadpool and Wolverine."
“Deadpool” star Karan Soni (Dopinder) told Variety this week that a ton of surprise cameos were filmed for the upcoming third installment, “Deadpool and Wolverine,” adding: “Let’s just say a lot of people traveled to London [for filming].” One actor who apparently did not make it to London was Vinnie Jones, who debuted as Juggernaut in “ X-Men: The Last Stand.” Jones recently told Yahoo Movies UK that he turned down a request to reprise the character in “Deadpool and Wolverine” because getting in his Juggernaut suit isn’t the best experience. He told Yahoo Movies UK that he agreed to play the comic book character under filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, and then he became upset when a director shuffle to Brett Ratner drastically altered the role. Jones is currently on a press tour for his role in the Netflix gangster series “The Gentlemen,” which reunites him with his “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch” director Guy Ritchie.
