Some actors just get a character, leaving fans with hopes of a reprisal - this perfectly fits Vinnie Jones' take on Juggernaut, who debuted in X-Men: The Last Stand. Sadly, as fate would have it, Jones won't be reprising his role in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine, a decision that's disappointing but not much of a surprise, if you've been keeping tabs.
One of the many reasons Jones is such a fan favorite is because he brought the iconic line, "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!" to life during his fight with Kitty Pryde. That simple moment spawned dozens of memes and became a cultural touchstone for comic book enthusiasts and casual fans alike.
So, when news broke that Deadpool & Wolverine was courting actors from Fox's X-Men universe for cameos, fans cheered at the possibility of Jones' Juggernaut wrecking his way back onto the screen. The twist in all this is that Jones was indeed asked to join the X-Men reunion but decided to pass.
During a chat with Yahoo UK, Jones shared his reasons, highlighting the mental and physical toll of wearing the Juggernaut suit once more. "It's such a drama putting that suit on, mentally and physically," he confessed. "I mean, it had its mental toll as well because you're in it and you can't do anything all day; you can only drink through a straw. So, we couldn't strike the deal for Deadpool.
