After we all went wild over the news that Hugh Jackman is returning as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, the actor and his co-star Ryan Reynolds started trolling us. The duo posted a video on their socials in which they were meant to answer a few of our questions. Yet, when they start discussing the sequel's plot, the song 'Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go' by Wham! drowns them out.

Of course, as with all things on the internet, someone out there has gone above and beyond to deliver the goods. Twitter user Jomboy attempted to decipher what the pair were saying behind the Wham! classic and, in short, they revealed fuck all. Literally. They just swear and throw insults and promise to beat each other up. 

"We're gonna have this massive, massive, huge, huge fucking explosion," says Jackman. "I'm alive too, but you really have to see this because we're in our prime... I'm so excited you're just going to fucking love it."

"It's going to be the best," add Reynolds. Watch the video with voice over below.

Of course, the lip-reading could be completely wrong, though GamesRadar+'s own armchair detectives gave lip-reading a go and found pretty much identical results. Were Reynolds and Jackman ever really going to reveal key information at this stage? Probably not. But, then again, Reynolds previously low-key revealed the plot of Deadpool 3 back in 2021, when Disney's takeover of Fox looked set to foil plans for a Deadpool sequel.

"Before Disney bought Fox, Deadpool 3 was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style," he previously posted on Twitter. "For real."

In fact, the first reports about Deadpool 3's Wolverine plot date back to 2019. "They’ve been joking about it for years, but insiders tell me that the possibility of Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds onscreen as Wolverine and  Deadpool is no laughing matter," wrote Showbiz Cheat Sheet. "Disney wants to offer Jackman truckloads of cash to return as Logan one more time to face Deadpool in an R-rated buddy picture, kind of a 48 Hours with mutants."

Chances are, thanks to Deadpool 3 now being part of the multiverse, the plot has somewhat changed. Whatever happens, we can definitely expect explosions, swords, punches, and Wolverine and Deadpool to go toe-to-toe.
