Ryan Reynolds It is Hugh Jackmanappearing together in their superhero alter egos for the first time in the highly anticipated Deadpool and Wolverineare two of Hollywood’s most prolific stars. It seems like an understatement to say that they’re both very famous: if you’re reading this, you’ve probably seen many, if not all, of their films.
The funny thing is that their careers owe a lot to Wonder superheroes they play, Reynolds for the last eight years, Jackman for the last two and a half decades. Wolverine put Hugh Jackman on the map, and Reynolds has settled in so comfortably Dead Pool It’s hard to imagine any other actor playing the Merc with a Mouth.

So, in a bit of playful metatextual contradiction, we decided to highlight the performances of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman that they are not Deadpool or Wolverine, for better or worse. In this list, we count the good, the bad and the downright awful of Reynolds and Jackman’s careers, the films that showcase the vast range of their talents — that is, their ability to be great at one thing and then, a few years later, turn around and be terrible at another. For each, we’ve selected the three best and two worst roles of their careers, staying away from any Marvel superhero antics.
