Deadpool Co-Creator Rob Liefeld Writes Open Letter Begging Hugh Jackman To Return For A Crossover


It looks like Ryan Reynolds isn't the only one hoping to drag Hugh Jackman's Wolverine into a crossover movie with 20th Century Fox's Merc with a Mouth. Deadpool's comic book co-creator Rob Liefeld has just penned an open letter to the X-Men star asking for a movie featuring both Deadpool and Wolverine.

Taking to Instagram, Liefeld has just shared a lengthy and heartfelt post trying to ask Jackman to consider returning to the big screen as Logan to team up together with Reynold's Merc with a Mouth.

Earlier this week, Jackman told MTV that he didn't really want to have a crossover with Deadpool because he genuinely believed that no one really wanted a Deadpool movie with Wolverine in it. In the letter, Liefeld tries to convince the actor the exact opposite, reassuring the X-Men movie star that fans have been looking for a crossover between the two for the longest time.

The comic book writer even tries to recommend a few source material that could be used for the crossover like Wolverine #154-155.

Check out the full letter down here:

"Dear @thehughjackman just checking in to reassure you per your recent comments that, yes, fans absolutely desire on the deepest possible level of affection and excitement that we can collectively muster to see you return as Wolverine alongside Ryan as Deadpool. Being in the comic business for 33 years and speaking as someone who has crafted a few memorable encounters between Logan and Wade, I can guarantee and confirm an audience and a reaction like nothing you have ever before experienced!! Wolverine is my favorite character in the history of comics, he inspired every aspect of Deadpool's creation!! Please give some consideration to unsheathing your claws for one more glorious adventure! #wolverine #deadpool #marvel p.s. please feel free to adapt directly from Wolverine #154-155 and feature The Administrator, The Watchtower! Unapologetically and unashamedly, your pal, Rob! #BiggerthanInfinityWar #robliefeld"

It's a pretty long letter, but then again it's going to take a lot to convince Jackman to return to the X-Men franchise again, even if it were for a Deadpool movie. Reynolds has tried time and time again to have Jackman put on his claws but to no avail. Guess we'll just have to wait.

Once Upon A Deadpool makes its big premiere December 12, 2018.
