The buzz around Marvel’s most-eyed upcoming movie, Deadpool 3 is deafening. It’s become the talk of the town and why not, when the possibilities are unreal. Recently, set pictures from the filming went viral on social media, giving fans insider glimpses of the movie. Speculations are that multiple variants of Deadpool will be featured, including Dogpool.
After the photo leaks, another video under the Deadpool 3 tag is going viral. As the movie treads closer to its release date, on 26th July 2024, Hugh Jackman is also gearing it up in the gym. For the iconic pair-up of Ryan Reynolds’s Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine, the latter wants to ensure he matches his co-star’s ripped physique. However, fans seemed to have taken a different angle on the actor’s hard-core workout, taking a dig a his non-superhero films.
Hugh Jackman kills it in the gym
At 55, the X-Men star seems as determined as in his younger days. Leaving no stone unturned to make his big come-back as Wolverine, Hugh Jackman was seen lifting heavy dumbbells in the gym on Sunday. A post by Discussing Film dropped the video on X, showing Jackman in his gym tanks and shorts, looking ripped.
Surprisingly, the actor’s bouldering biceps weren’t the focal point for fans, but how he seemed in pain while working out. Another user reshared the post with an insightful caption. The post read,
“All this man ever wanted to do was gay little musicals and we’ve made him do cape shit until he’s 85.”

Probably hinting at The Greatest Showman, and Les Misérables, which are some of the actor’s noteworthy musical works. While his action-packed films, particularly from the X-Men franchise are admired, netizens speculated that Jackman is drawn more towards the whimsical musicals, and is forced to appear shredded for Deadpool 3. While there might be little truth to the fact, Jackman’s declining age seems to be a major factor in his struggles at the gym.
