Hugh Jackman may have officially retired from the role of Wolverine, having given him the perfect send-off in Logan and in likely anticipation of an X-Men reboot once the Disney-Fox merger finalizes. But if he thinks a little thing like that is going to stop Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool trying to annoy him, he is vastly mistaken. Even though it wasn’t Jackman’s fault that the thing called Wade Wilson in his X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie was an extreme case of Hollywood ignoring everything that made a popular character great, we all know Deadpool blurs fiction and reality. And in that fiction, Wolverine was responsible for Wilson losing his head.
Deadpool, then, is trying to see to it that he can make the man behind Wolverine crack up and lose his chill as often as he possibly can. In a recent Twitter video, Jackman seems to be trying to record a birthday greeting to somebody, when he’s interrupted by the song “Tomorrow” from Annie. It’s not a spunky little orphan girl’s voice, though it is trying mightily to be.

And then the song becomes something else entirely, followed by a philosophical question.
Could Hugh Jackman be involved in the next Deadpool movie somehow, either as Logan or as Hugh Jackman, Former Sexiest Man Alive? They’ve got too good a chemistry going just to drop this shtick entirely. Tell us what you think the future of Wilson-Howlett relations on the big screen will and should be, in comments below.
