‘I really wanted to be in that movie’

Josh Brolin has opened up about not being part of the upcoming third Deadpool film and said he “wanted to be in that movie so bad.”

The film, titled Deadpool and Wolverinebrings together the characters made famous by Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and features elements of multi-verse traversal, with the closing shot of the newly released trailer showing the pair jumping through a portal often used by Doctor Strange and his colleagues. magicians.

Deadpool and Wolverine is set to hit theaters on July 26. Watch that trailer below:

And now Brolin, who played Cable in the first two films, has confirmed it in a new interview with Binge-worthy that he was not invited to participate in the new film.

After being told that his name did indeed appear in the IMDb credits for the film, he said, “Is that me?” Yes! I really wanted to be in that movie.”

He then compared the franchise to his new Amazon Prime series Out of range. “(Marvel) is a more complex labyrinth then Out of range ever will be, my friend. And I’ll never know where that went or what that is, or what I’m involved in or what I’m not involved in – the MCU is so involved in it now.”

“Cable was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed playing that role. That was a lot of fun,” he added.

Earlier this month, Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy addressed rumors that Taylor Swift could appear in the film. The singer has been at the center of speculation about a possible surprise appearance in the upcoming Marvel movie as superhero Dazzler.

“That is hardly confirmed or denied in this interview. I’m literally going to walk out of frame and save myself or Ryan (Reynolds) is going to get a hit on me,” he said.

Earlier this year, Brolin wrote a tongue-in-cheek poem about him Dune co-star Timothée Chalamet which will be released as part of an accompanying coffee table book for the film.

Excerpts from the book – titled Dune: exposures and documenting the filming of director Denis Villeneuve’s science fiction franchise – the poem unveiled alongside a black-and-white image of Chalamet. In it, Brolin refers to his co-star’s ‘cheekbones’, ‘youth-laden eyes’ and ‘lips of a certain poetry’.

Brolin also wrote about Chalamet’s childhood and its impact on his own thoughts about mortality. “The way you hold my gaze/makes me afraid of my own age” reads the first verse. “Because something inside me says/You’re going to offer me something and,/for now/I’m not sure/it will/something/I want more.”

In addition to Chalamet, the book would also feature Brolin’s interactions with colleagues Dune starring Zendaya, Stellan Skarsgård, Florence Pugh, Austin Butler and Christopher Walken.

In a four-star review of the new film, NME wrote: “Just like the first movie, Part two proves a nail-bitingly immersive experience, thanks to cinematographer Greig Fraser’s stunning visuals, production designer Patrice Vermette’s wildly imaginative sets, and some inspired sound designs. This is especially evident during the film’s thrilling central set piece, when Paul must prove himself by riding a giant sandworm, a punch-the-air moment that was teased in the first part and pays off wonderfully here.
