LOGAN Director James Mangold And DEADPOOL Star Debunk Cameo Rumors As "Fake News"

Not keen on the idea of the Merc with the Mouth showing up in the super serious looking Logan? Well, both director James Mangold and star Ryan Reynolds have completely debunked The Wrap's big "scoop."

If you were getting excited about the prospect of a Deadpool/Wolverine team-up in Logan (even if it's just an after-credits scene), then it's time to put the brakes on that! As you can see below, both director James Mangold and Ryan Reynolds have taken to Twitter to debunk reports that the Merc with the Mouth will show up in any capacity, with the filmmaker calling out The Wrap and "fake news."

It's no secret that it's the least respected of the four trades - because of stuff like this - but they're not known for dropping unreliable scoops. However, the fact that these two have so strongly denied the reports definitely points to it being incorrect information. After all, Mangold would look like a complete fool calling The Wrap "the show biz Breitbart" is Deadpool were to show up in Logan this March!

Perhaps Reynolds did indeed shoot something for Deadpool 2 with new director David Leitch recently, but it clearly wasn't for Deadpool! The trade has yet to respond, but even Hugh Jackman has now weighed in, so stay tuned for any updates. Are you disappointed the cameo isn't going to happen?

@TheWrap @VancityReynolds @WolverineMovie For everyone freaking out, @TheWrap is dealing in fake news. Chill.

Maybe @TheWrap is the show biz Breitbart. #fakenews

Your story is OFFICIALLY WRONG, Umberto. You may have gotten a whisper of something going on, but it has nothing to do with my film. https://t.co/pkXCjRdzio

"@TheWrap has not reported Deadpool & Logan would appear side-by-side." Cause Deadpool ain't in the film, pal. Keep backtracking.#fakenews

Sadly, not true. Prisoner 24601 is on a solo mission. https://t.co/5czBmMRfY1

What they said .... https://t.co/GmOoWbddf2

NOTE: That third Tweet from Mangold is in response to a parody account, but his message is still clear!

Darkknight2149 - 12/28/2016, 2:25 PM @THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Yet further evidence why we should never believe any "scoop" that Umberto Gonzales has up his sleeves. Whether he's working for Latino Review, Heroic Hollywood or even the Wrap, he's still the king of clickbait and fake news... That some people still inexplicably trust. Login to report abuse
