Vinnie Jones is not back as the Juggernaut in Deadpool and Wolverine, after playing the character in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand. Sorry not sorry for the non-spoiler there, but amid all the parade of cameos and surprises in the new film, and even the key role the X-Men villain plays in the plot, the ex-footballer turned actor is not a last-second addition to the cast. And no offense to Vinnie Jones, but it is 100% fine they got a new Juggernaut for the movie.
As mentioned, Jones portrayed the unstoppable mutant villain with a metal dome in the third live-action X-Men movie. While it was a critical, fan, and box office failure, Jones clearly became enamored with the character – he even wound up pushing for a Juggernaut spin-off movie. That's not entirely out of the realm of possibility given Fox at the time was also considering spinoffs for other relatively under-the-radar characters like Gambit. But also, other than Jones, it wasn't entirely clear who would want to see that film.
