HUGH JACKMAN has said a Wolverine Deadpool crossover movie with Ryan Reynolds would be a ‘perfect fit’, despite saying Logan would be his last X-Men movie.
Hugh Jackman is BACK as Wolverine in first Logan trailer
Last week fans were sent into an accidental frenzy when The Wrap reported that Reynolds had shot a scene as Deadpool in the upcoming Logan movie.
However both stars and the director have since taken to Twitter to confirm the story was not true.
Nevertheless the mere idea of a Wolverine Deadpool crossover has got Reynolds thinking and plotting for the future.

The stars last played the characters together in the ill-fated X-Men Origins Wolverine
Speaking with Variety, he said: “I have no idea if I can change his mind.
“It's the audience: I would exclusively exploit that relationship to get Hugh back for another one.”
While Logan is supposed to be Jackman’s ninth and final film as Wolverine, the actor has responded – and he didn’t exactly say no.
Jackman said: “I'm hesitating, because I could totally see how that's the perfect fit. But the timing may be wrong.”
Meanwhile Reynolds has seen part of Logan and claims the movie is worthy of an Oscar.
He added: “Logan looks like a movie that might break that glass ceiling.
“I know first-hand that it’s amazing. I’ve seen some of it. It’s mind-blowing. It relies a lot on character."
The two actors previously shared the screen in the ill-fated X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where Reynolds’s Merc with a Mouth didn’t actually have a mouth.
Can Ryan Reynolds persuade Hugh Jackman to make a 10th Wolverine movie?
Back in November, 20th Century Fox confirmed Deadpool 3 would feature X-Force.
Fans will know this Marvel version of Suicide Squad had Wolverine himself as team captain during one storyline – perhaps an easy way in for Jackman?There’s also the fact that Logan is in 2024, in a desolate world where most of the mutants are gone – something that could be a hard fit for the humorous Deadpool.
Logan is released in UK cinemas on March 3, 2017.
