Earlier this month, Ryan Reynolds said Deadpool & Wolverine was the “best movie [he’s] ever done”.
“I love making movies that bring true joy, and the underpinning of this is friendship,” he explained. “Every emotional aspect of the movie, I love.”
A recent trailer teased the return of an old X-Men foe to the franchise. In it, Wolverine can be seen shouting, “Who’s next?”, when Sabretooth, a longtime nemesis of the character, makes a surprise appearance.
