In a humorous move, Jackman jokingly renamed the upcoming film to “Wolverine and A**hole” and commented, “Fixed it” with the tweet. This reversal of the title sequence, reminiscent of Deadpool’s irreverent humor, caused amusement among fans.
The Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds also added to the banter with a light-hearted jab, teasing fans with a unique Deadpool-themed popcorn bucket. “Wait till you see the Deadpool popcorn bucket,” he said, replying to Jackman’s tweet.
