Why This X-Men Actor Turned Down A Role In Deadpool 3 And Wolverine
Deadpool and Wolverine has many cameos, but one actor who is not going to appear in the film is Vinnie Jones. He told Yahoo UK that he was asked to appear in the upcoming Deadpool film as his X-Men character, Juggernaut, but he said no due to the mental and physical strain of getting into character.
“Funnily enough I just got asked to do Deadpool, the new one now, and I spoke to the director [Shawn Levy] and I just said it’s such a drama putting that suit on mentally and physically,” he said (via GamesRadar). “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.”
Jones said Deadpool is one of his favorite movies, and he “really wanted” to appear in Deadpool and Wolverine. But, as Jones tells it, the filmmakers “didn’t have the budget to put me in the suit.”
