Jackman and Reynolds, meanwhile, havelong carried on a fake feudwith each other — so much so that they’ve joked about forgetting how it started in the first place.
They first worked together on the set of the 2009 filmX-Men Origins: Wolverine, when theFree Guyactor portrayed Wade Wilson, also known as Deadpool, opposite Jackman’s Logan/Wolverine.
“It’s gone back so long now … God, this is a classic sign where your feud has gone too long, where you don’t even know why or how it started,” Jackman toldThe Daily Beastback in April 2020.
“I met him back onWolverine, and I used to ream him because I was very close friends withScarlett [Johansson], and Scarlett had just married Ryan, so when he came on set I was like, ‘Hey, you better be on your best behavior here, pal, because I’m watching,’ and we started ribbing each other that way,” he added.
