In the lead-up to Marvel's anticipated release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Hugh Jackman gives insight into what makes his Wolverine fight scenes so special.

As part of the promo tour for Deadpool & Wolverine, Jackman and Reynolds interviewed each other for 20 minutes for People (via YouTube). In the conversation, Reynolds mentioned how impressed he was with the intensity, physicality, and precision Jackman brings to fight scenes. Jackman explained how his history on the stage and in dance has made him a better stuntperson and superhero actor. Read the relevant excerpt below, followed by a video clip:

Ryan Reynolds: It was the first time I'd ever seen how invaluable - and I hope any young actors are listening to this - how invaluable a background in song and dance is when you are doing an action movie. You hit your marks in those fight scenes with speed and confidence the likes of which I have never seen. I don't care if you were 25, 35, 45. I could not believe what I saw.

Hugh Jackman: Brian Smrz...was the first person to tell me; he said, "Every time I hire a stuntman or someone who's coming up, I say, 'Do dance class.' ... There's a mixture of relaxation with the strength that you need." It's basically choreography. And so to take a punch, it's more about the relaxation than the grunt of it. And it's true.
