Wolverine rarely cracks a smile, but Hugh Jackman’s got a winning sense of humor — especially about himself.
That comes in handy in “ Deadpool & Wolverine ,” the new Marvel movie in which the 55-year-old actor plays the mutant for the first time since 2017’s “Logan.”

Jackman and Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of 27 years, announced their separation in September 2023.
“We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” Jackman and Furness, 68, said in a joint statement at the time.
“Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”
“We undertake this next chapter with gratitude, love, and kindness,” the statement continued. “We greatly appreciate your understanding in respecting our privacy as our family navigates this transition in all of our lives.”

The exes, who live in New York, share two children — 24-year-old adopted son Oscar and 19-year-old daughter Ava Eliot.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” doesn’t only take jabs at Hugh’s home life. The funny film, which was co-written by Reynolds, also includes other, less personal jokes about the Aussie actor.
For instance, the title character has a line about Jackman’s side-gig as a Broadway star.
