Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine. “Deadpool 3”In 2024. But don’t worry, the sequel won’t be undoing his death that happened in “Logan.”
On Tuesday, Ryan Reynolds announced in a video that he simply couldn’t come up with anything to make Deadpool’s official entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe stand out — well, except one thing. “Hey Hugh, you wanna play Wolverine one more time?”Jackman casually walked along the hall behind him, asking the question. “Yeah, sure Ryan,”Jackman did not halt his response. Thus began an internet storm.
While the vast majority of fans were and are excited to see Jackman return to the role, many wondered how it was going to happen considering Jackman’s Wolverine, well, died in his last on-screen appearance. The multiverse is the best explanation for Jackman’s return, as it is possible to explain his appearance with the MCU. But, in a new video Wednesday morning, the pair offered some reassurance — and a much simpler explanation.
“I had a lot of questions, I’m sure you had a lot of questions. But, rest assured, we’re going to answer them right now,”Jackman stated. “Like, for example, how is Wolverine alive after ‘Logan’?”
Reynolds immediately jumped in, declaring: “‘Logan’ takes place in 2029. Totally separate thing. Logan died in ‘Logan,’ not touching that.”
These two became the basis of their explanations. “what actually happens in our film.” Of course, we don’t know what that is, because Wham!’s “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” began playing, drowning out Reynolds and Jackman’s words. Reynolds can be heard explaining the origins of Deadpool if you pay close attention. “chases” Wolverine around, but beyond that, it’s impossible to make out anything else.
They do however animatedly portray some scenes of Wolverine fighting the Merc with a Mouth. The music is finally cut. Reynolds cheered Jackman’s words.
“Thank you Kevin Feige!”Reynolds exclaims. Jackman offers the Marvel Studios head some love. So, we’ll just have to wait for the real plot when the film opens on Sept. 6, 2024. Until then, you can watch Reynolds and Jackman explain it all — and maybe try to lip read — in the video above.
Jackman took his Wolverine blades and hung them up. “Logan,” which was crafted as his swan song as the character after first debuting in 2000’s “X-Men.”This R-rated film was a huge success and won an Oscar nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay.
With Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the “X-Men” library is destined to be rebooted, but Reynolds’ Deadpool was seen to be the only character that would survive a crossover into the carefully crafted Marvel Cinematic Universe (overseen by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige). Now, we have Jackman’s Wolverine to look forward to in “Deadpool 3,” hot on the heels of Patrick Stewart’s Professor X making a cameo in this year’s “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” — albeit as a DifferentCharles Xavier comes from a different universe.
