It sees Ryan make a gag about Wolverine actor Hugh’s 2023 split from his wife of 27 years, Aussie actress Deborra-Lee Furness.

Referring to Wolverine’s yellow costume, red-clad Deadpool jokes: “This is Logan. He’s usually shirtless but he’s let himself go since the divorce.”

But that isn’t the only gag made at Hugh’s expense in the movie, which is packed with surprises that will thrill Marvel fans.

Deadpool goes on to poke fun at the fact Hugh’s Wolverine was killed off in 2017’s 21st Century Fox film Logan, before Disney later got the rights to the franchise.

Deadpool says: “Fox killed him but Disney brought him back. They’re going to make him do it till he’s 90.”

If the movies are as fun as this one, I certainly won’t be complaining about that.
