West makes her first film appearance in 26 years. Leticia (Mae West) is the lecherous theatrical agent who scouts talent at the acting school of Buck Loner (John Huston). This alone is enough to qualify as a horror film. Myra (Raquel Welch) undergoes a sex change operation by two doctors (John Carradine and Jim Backus) and becomes a man (Rex Reed). This book is an amusing story about sexual transformation, but despite an all-star cast, the film is a dismal failure. So I'm really, really super fucking excited to do this film.This uneven film is taken from the novel by Gore Vidal. But working with Logan and having Logan and Wade together in a movie is beyond any dream I would ever be audacious enough to have. And I'm really grateful that they did it, because for me, working with Hugh is a dream come true. A lot of red tape in order to make that happen. It's a lot of moving parts and Fox and X-Men and all that kind of stuff that Marvel needs to sort through. It's an immediate and emphatic, unqualified yes. "It's not like adding Hugh Jackman to a movie like this is a hard sell. He also spoke about how important it was to him to get the two characters to star in a movie together. But he expressed interest in coming back, and then it was my job to take that to Kevin Feige one more time and sell it." And the contents of that conversation, I'll let Hugh, because I know it's only inevitable that you and Hugh are going to speak at some point soon, I'm sure. And then Hugh just happened to call at that perfect moment and express that he'd be interested in coming back and doing this one more time. My first meeting with Kevin Feige when Disney bought Fox years ago, maybe three years ago, or three and a half, four years ago, I'm not sure, was about doing a movie with the two of us, a Deadpool Wolverine movie.


I don't believe that I'm responsible for Hugh coming back. "I think you're giving me too much credit. Weintraub asked Reynolds if he was able to talk about the conversations that went into getting Jackman back for the upcoming film, to which the series star replied by saying that he doesn't really take responsibility for getting Jackman to return but did say that he had pushed heavily to have a film starring Deadpool and Wolverine.
