The Wolverine claws are out as Hugh Jackman has hit back at Ryan Reynolds following his ‘fraud’ remark.

That’s right, the 51-year-old is refusing to end his faux feud with the Deadpool star despite the duo calling a ‘truce’ earlier this year.

Just recently, Ryan appeared on the Today Show Australia to promote his new Netflix movie but decided to use the platform to take aim at his fellow actor.

‘He’s just an evil person,’ the 43-year-old laughed: ‘I mean, you guys have all been duped. You think he’s this benevolent ambassador to your country. People don’t realise he’s from Winnipeg, Canada.’

Ryan went on: ‘Truth hurts sometimes. It makes your eyes water. Hugh Jackman’s a fraud!’

And this didn’t go unnoticed by The Greatest Showman star, as he took to Instagram to address the hilarious comment.

Sharing the caption: ‘Who you callin’ a fraud?’ Hugh posted a picture of Deadpool in a Christmas hat draped around Wolverine’s middle claw.

Fans were quick to comment where they flooded the star with fire emojis before begging the duo to team up for a film.

‘Please, come back only to do Wolverine and Deadpool,’ one said while another questioned: ‘When will we see both of you together in X-man… It can be still possible.’

Someone else wrote: ‘That’s just Ryan being Ryan, mate. What did you expect from A merc with a Mouth? He needs the claws.’

The actors have been at war for years (in a terribly sarcastic and hilarious way, may we add), and decided to put it all behind them in February this year.

However, this hasn’t stopped them goofing around, with one of the most recent teases coming from Ryan on Hugh’s birthday.

Right at the last minute, the much-loved actor shared a NSFW video message on Instagram.

This saw him launch into a stirring rendition of Happy Birthday, that, frankly, is worthy of being on Broadway.

He then flipped Hugh the bird before yelling: ‘And I’m not even f**king professionally-trained, Jackman, you piece of s**t mother**ker.’
