While fans were ecstatic over the news that Hugh Jackman returns to his signature role as Logan/Wolverine in Deadpool 3near Ryan Reynoldsthere was some concern and skepticism among fans - and not without reason - that the film could end up easing the emotional weight of concluding what should have been Jackman’s last appearance as a character in 2017. Logan. In the Oscar-nominated film, Jackman and Patrick Stewart (as Professor X) return to their roles in a movie set in the future where Logan’s healing powers have begun to slow down, only to find him sacrificing himself to save Laura (Daphne Keen), which was created from Logan’s own DNA. The film’s emotional climax was a heartbreaking but worthy ending to the character.
Now, however, Jackman has revealed more about the device that was used to allow him to return to the character, and it seems that this is leading to a number of things - the arrival of Deadpool in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and another film that includes clues to the next two. phases of the Marvel Multiverse.
Speaking to SiriusXM, he said: “It’s all because of this device that the Marvel world has for moving through timelines. Now we can go back because, you know, this is science. So I don’t have to mess with Logan timing, which was important to me. And I think probably the fans too.” His co-star Reynolds suggested something similar back in September when he tweeted about it. “Logan takes place in 2029. A completely separate thing. Logan died at Logan. Without touching this.
The director of this film, James Mangold - future director Indiana Jones and the Dial of Doom - also not worried about the impact on his film. “Oh my God! Cool down everyone.” – Mangold tweeted. “Just kidding! I’m fine! Logan will always be there. Multiverse or prequel, time warp or wormhole, canon or non-canon or even no explanation, I can’t wait to see what kind of madness my dear friends Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman will cook up!”
Jackman has previously talked about his excitement at returning to the role, suggesting that time spent with the character made him a better person and could get more out of himself as a result: “Is this the arrogance of age or something? Wolverine is a jaded character - more jaded than me. But I always feel that he is comfortable in his own skin. And now I feel more comfortable in my own skin, even though it is dirtier.”
Deadpool 3 is due to begin in May 2023, with a theater opening scheduled for November 8, 2024. In the meantime, check out our interview with Reynolds about Deadpool 3 below.
