Actor Vinnie Jones, known for his portrayal of Juggernaut in X-Men: The Last Stand, has declined the opportunity to make a cameo in the upcoming film Deadpool & Wolverine. In a recent interview, Jones revealed that despite his admiration for the Deadpool franchise, he opted out of appearing in the sequel due to the physical and mental strain of wearing the character's suit.
Deadpool & Wolverine is anticipated to be a multiverse-spanning Marvel Studios production, featuring a host of familiar faces alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. While numerous cameos have been confirmed for the film, Jones expressed his regret at not being able to participate, citing budget constraints as a hindrance.
Reflecting on his experience with X-Men: The Last Stand, Jones shared his disappointment with the direction the film took under a new director, Brett Ratner. He recounted how the role of Juggernaut was altered from what he had initially signed up for, leading to a diminished presence in the movie.
Despite Jones' decision not to reprise his role as Juggernaut, fans can still anticipate surprises in Deadpool & Wolverine, with the possibility of other versions of the character making an appearance. The film, set to be released on July 26, 2024, promises to explore the vast potential of the Marvel multiverse, leaving audiences eager to see what unfolds on the big screen.
