Vinnie Jones said no to playing Juggernaut in Deadpool & Wolverine.

Video transcript

VINNIE JONES: I was going in going, why are you-- where's all my dialogue? Where's the storyline, you know? And [? Brett ?] had different directors directing, and he would sit there as the big director. It was-- for me, it was a shambles.

The director brought in so many other moving parts and so many other actors that my mine was the one that got diluted. The juggernaut got diluted. And I didn't-- I lost all interest quite early because I knew they were just taking me along, you know what I mean?

And I was upset [? with it. ?] I was very upset, really, because it was such a movie, such a big stage, and became an extra. That's what happened, do you know what I mean?

Funny enough, I just got asked to do "Deadpool," the new one that's coming out now. And I spoke to the director, and I just said, it's so-- it's such a drama, putting that suit on, mentally and physically. 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," but I mean, "Deadpool" is my favorite movie of [BLEEP] all time, more or less. But I really wanted to do it, but they didn't have the budget to do-- to put me in the suit.
