It’s bad news for Deadpool fans – the character won’t be making an appearance in Logan after all.
Earlier today, Umberto Gonzalez of The Wrap reported that Ryan Reynolds had filmed a scene for the upcoming film. Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds quickly took to Twitter after it was reported he’d be making an appearance in James Mangold’s Wolverine film, Logan.
And despite the two films and characters having completely different tones, Reynolds still had to confirm that the rumor was indeed false.
Reynolds posted on Twitter:
Sadly, not true. Prisoner 24601 is on a solo mission. https://t.co/5czBmMRfY1

Where this gets more interesting is when director James Mangold stepped in:
Maybe @TheWrap is the show biz Breitbart. #fakenews
— Mangold (@mang0ld) December 28, 2016
"@TheWrap has not reported Deadpool & Logan would appear side-by-side." Cause Deadpool ain't in the film, pal. Keep backtracking.#fakenews

He also had said this before:
“For everyone freaking out, @TheWrap is dealing in fake news. Chill.”
Logan hits theaters March 3, 2017, and is set to be the last appearance of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
