As we wait to find out who else will be making cameo appearances in the film, there is one actor we know we won't be seeing. Vinnie Jones , who played Juggernaut in X-Men: The Last Stand , recently told Yahoo UK that he turned down a cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine .

"Funnily enough I just got asked to do Deadpool , the new one now, and I spoke to the director and I just said it's such a drama putting that suit on mentally and physically," Jones explained. "I mean it had its mental toll as well because you're in it and you can't do anything all day, you can only drink through a straw. So we couldn't strike the deal for Deadpool ."

" Deadpool 's my favorite movie of all f*cking time more or less," he added. "I really wanted to do it, but they didn't have the budget to put me in the suit."
