Since I'm such a terrible hero, I left my daughter behind and came to Korea. I came to such a beautiful city, and I went to Gocheok Dome yesterday and it was a great baseball dome. I leave with only good impressions. “He greeted. Director Sean Levy, who was visiting Korea for the first time, said, “Many of my films were released in Korea, but this is my first time coming to Korea.”

I never thought I’d be playing Wolverine again, but I did it with my heart.”

It was rewarding and happy to see it released. Seeing it become popular around the world. “I was thrilled,” he said. Also, "I have been in the process of making a movie with my close friends for the past 6 years, and it was not easy to get them to participate in this movie. I also talked to Marvel about the direction of the movie that would combine the worldviews of X-Men and Deadpool. It was surprising." They say we are close friends, but many Hollywood actors may not be so, but we live close together and I love them more than my brothers. “I felt that I could do it if I pushed forward with confidence and belief. This is something that the fans and I have wanted for a long time.”
