We may never see a full-on WolverineOpens in a new tab and DeadpoolOpens in a new tab movie with the original big-screen actors, since DisneyOpens in a new tab is likely to reboot one or both within the next couple of years. Fortunately, we’re basically getting one in real life that seems to play out indefinitelyOpens in a new tab, as Ryan ReynoldsOpens in a new tab just can’t get Hugh JackmanOpens in a new tab out of his head. But even as the real-life Wade Wilson continues to direct his deadly mutant snarkOpens in a new tab at Australia’s greatest superhero showman, the Wolverine gives back as good as he gets.The latest shot across Logan’s bow is a response to Jackman’s newest political drama, The Front RunnerOpens in a new tab. In the spirit of a campaign, Reynolds has made a fake negative ad that impugns the star’s credibility and encourages all Academy members to vote for Deadpool instead…though it ultimately insists they should see The Front Runner anyway.

Jackman’s rebuttal was to take the high road — literally — and bring his dog along with him to, ahem, make a statement. Actions speaking louder than words, and all that.

We know it’s probably not up to Fox any more, but can’t we just let them fight on the big screen? It’s clearly what they want, and after all this build-up, it just won’t be the same with newer, younger actors.Would you vote for a Jackman/Reynolds Deadpool vs. Wolverine film?
