The discussions about Hadid and Jackman dating just because they were snapped together are totally baseless and the supermodel is reportedly dating Maestro star Bradley Cooper (via Elle). Lively and Hadid have been friends since 2016 (via E! News) and their bond has become stronger ever since. They understood their assignment for the premiere and came dressed in red and yellow.

Dude, I’m so glad you mentioned it, and yes, because of these guys. I actually said very early on, I said, ‘This is something that I’ve been trying to crack. I haven’t been able to. It’s been bothering me for 24 years, and I pitched it in different variant.’ We just couldn’t get there.
Whether it was me and these guys wrote something that unlocked it for me, and there’s so much in the writing that they did for me. I mean, to see Wolverine with Deadpool is a whole different tone, but I’m so grateful for that. I feel such a relief, and I’m so glad you asked me the question. So yes is the answer, and I can’t wait for you guys to discover it.
The first reaction to the film has landed and many are praising the film for being the MCU’s love letter to the Fox-era films and exceeding all expectations (via The Hollywood Reporter). This is a great sign for the box office performance of the film and fans seem to be in for a pure treat. Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theatres worldwide on July 26, 2024.
