Vinnie Jones responds to rumours that he will appear in Deadpool and Wolverine after Ryan Reynolds offered role

The footballer turned actor has responded to whether he's set to appear in Deadpool 3

If you base it on the first few trailers, it feels like the third Deadpool film will have everyone under the sun making a cameo.

Beyond Hugh Jackman is a score of X-Men cameos, Jennifer Garner from Elektra, and even Wrexham co-owner Rob McElheney is set to have a cameo in the film.

One name who has been asked about by British fans is Vinnie Jones.

The football hard-man turned pretend hard-man (though I wouldn’t say that to his face) appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand alongside Hugh Jackman.

Jones played traditional X-Men villain Juggernaut in the film, uttering the now infamous line ‘I’m the Juggernaut b**ch’.

Another version of The Juggernaut appeared in Deadpool 2 who was actually voiced by Ryan Reynolds.

With Deadpool and Wolverine seemingly traversing the multiverse and featuring multiple former X-Men villains, it has obviously led to speculation as to names such as Vinnie Jones who would make for hilarious cameos.

So, has he been asked to be in the film? Will he do it?

Good news and bad news on that front.

Speaking to Yahoo Movies, the 59-year-old confirmed that, whilst he had been asked to return – he wouldn’t be taking them up on the offer.

He said: “Funnily enough I just got asked to do Deadpool, the new one now, and I spoke to the director and I just said it’s such a drama putting that suit on mentally and physically.

“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 [and Wolverine].”

“But Deadpool’s my favorite movie of all f*cking time more or less. I really wanted to do it, but they didn’t have the budget to put me in the suit.”

Jones went on to state that his time on X-Men: Last Stand was less than enjoyable, in part due to the fact that the film had originally been intended to have a different director.

The actor stated he signed on to a role in the film with the understanding Kingsman director Matthew Vaughn would be behind the camera, and stated that numerous changes occurred to his part.

He said: “The new director [Brett Ratner] came on and it was not the same role as I had signed on to do.

“They diluted the dialogue… The director brought in so many moving parts and so many other actors that mine got diluted. I lost all interest quite early because I knew they were just taking me along.

“I was very upset really. It was such a big stage and I became an extra, that’s what happened.

“I was going in and going, ‘Where is all my dialogue? Where is the storyline?’ For me it was shambles and it was a shame.

Whilst you never know (look at Andrew Garfield), it looks as if sadly – we won’t be seeing Vinnie Jones in Deadpool and Wolverine.
