Deadpool 3 image unites Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman for the first time

The Ryan Reynolds/Hugh Jackman relationship has officially evolved from meme-worthy gold into big-screen magic. Forget their initial collaboration in the misfiring X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). The bantering frenemies are about to rip the place up in Deadpool 3, the first Deadpool movie to officially fall under the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) banner.

A newly released image has teased the partnership between Reynolds' snarky Merc and Jackman's resurgent Logan/Wolverine. (We're awaiting the explanation as to how he's alive again.) Mr. Pool may not have changed much, at least outwardly. But Wolverine's classic yellow comic book get-up is bound to induce squeals of joy from fans the world over.
