Prisoner 24601 is a reference to Jean Valjean, the character Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman played in Les Miserables.
The Wrap reported today that Reynolds filmed a scene as Deadpool for Logan that was said to possibly be a post-credits scene. Director James Mangold also denied that Deadpool would be in the movie.
@PotterDarth DEADPOOL IS NOT IN MY FILM. Does all caps help confirm it?
