"Deadpool & Wolverine."
"Deadpool & Wolverine" wound up being a big, kind of sweet goodbye to Fox's Marvel universe, which meant bringing back many old MCU characters.
Juggernaut, a fan-favorite from the "X-Men" universe, does indeed appear. Yet, for the third time, it's a different actor under the helmet — something Deadpool jokes about.
Vinnie Jones played the mutant in "X-Men: The Last Stand," but this time, Juggernaut is played by actor Aaron W. Reed, who previously appeared in a different Reynolds blockbuster.
Both Reynolds and “Deadpool” director Shawn Levy worked on "Free Guy." They had an established relationship with Reed and, not for nothing, he certainly had Juggernaut’s look.
Reed played one of the villains in “Free Guy,“ serving as a jacked version of Reynolds' Guy. It's Reed's body with Reynolds' face, making for a pretty unique visual.
Being an absolute hulk of a man, Reed was able to bring the character to life without CGI. The Juggernaut in 2018's "Deadpool 2" was inhumanly large and more comics-accurate.
