Ke Huy Quan and Hugh Jackman Reunite After 25 Years

25 years after they met on the set of 1999’s X-Men, Hugh Jackman and Ke Hey Quan reunited at Kevin Feige’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

At the time they met, Jackman was just breaking into action films, while Quan, who had starred in films such as Goonies as a child, was part of the X-Men stunt team.

These days, Quan has returned to acting, starring in Everything Everywhere All at Once and joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for Season 2 of Loki.

Jackman, meanwhile, also made his MCU debut, reprising his role as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Jackman Credits Quan For Teaching Him About Action Movies

Seeing Quan after all a quarter of a decade put things in perspective for Jackman.

“One of the many cool things about the movie being released is so many moments are happening that are making me appreciate the 25 years that I’ve been playing Wolverine,” Jackman explained in a recent Instagram post.

“And so the other [at] the Walk of Fame induction ceremony for Kevin Feige, I saw Ke Huy Quan. And of course, he won an Oscar recently and his story is incredible, and his career is incredible, and we saw each other and we embraced because we worked together on X-Men 1. He was in the stunt team at the time, working on that movie, and, first of all, he’s incredible and that team was incredible, and… that’s really where I learned a lot about how to do action movies and how to do stunts. And it was just really cool to see him again and to reconnect.”

Quan Congratulates Jackman on ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’

For his part, Quan took to Instagram to congratulate Jackman and Ryan Reynolds on the success of Deadpool & Wolverine.

“Saw DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE. It was AWESOME. Ran into Hugh Jackman recently. The last time I saw him was 24 yrs ago on the set of X-men when he first trained as Wolverine,” he wrote.

“He is just as nice as I remembered. Huge congratulations to @thehughjackman @vancityreynolds and the entire Deadpool team on a record opening. Bravo. 👏👏👏”

While Jackman and Quan have yet to appear in a Marvel movie together, with Kevin Feige and his team setting up a multiversal battle in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Infinity War, perhaps we will finally see the actors together in the MCU.
