Speaking to Yahoo Movies, the 59-year-old confirmed that even if he was asked to return, he would not accept the offer.

He said, “It’s funny, I just got asked to do dead Poolthe new one now, and I spoke to the director and I just said it was such a drama to put on that costume mentally and physically.

He said: “The new manager (Brett Ratner) came in and it wasn’t the same role I signed up for.

“They diluted the dialogue… The director added so many moving parts and so many other actors that mine got diluted. I lost interest pretty early because I knew they were just taking charge of me.

“I was really disappointed. It was such an important scene and I became an extra, that’s what happened.

“I would go in and think, ‘Where’s all my dialogue? Where’s the plot?’ To me, it was a complete disaster and it was a shame.

Although you never know (look at Andrew Garfield), it seems that unfortunately, we won’t be seeing Vinnie Jones in Deadpool and Wolverine.
