Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3’ Is Different from the One that Died in ‘Logan’ - IndieWire
After the news broke that Hugh Jackman will be reprising his iconic role as X-Men superhero Wolverine for “Deadpool 3,” lead star Ryan Reynolds confirmed that the MCU installment will be a “totally separate thing” from 2017’s “Logan,” during which Wolverine died.Totally separate thing,” Reynolds said in a new promotional video.
“Deadpool 3” marks the wisecracking antihero’s first appearance in the MCU after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox.“Now when it comes to a particular joke, if we cross a line, maybe we’ll hear at some point, ‘Maybe not that joke.’ But I think they’ve been incredibly supportive of what we’re doing, because obviously we were doing it separate from them for a long time, and I think they’ve seen the success and they’ve had their own even greater success.
James Mangold, who helmed “Logan” and “The Wolverine,” responded to the “Deadpool 3” Wolverine reveal by sharing a GIF of Wolverine’s death scene in “Logan,” to which fans speculated was a dig at the revival of the character.Multiverse or prequel, time warp or worm hole, canon or non-canon or even without a rationale, I cannot wait to see what madness my dear friends Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman cook up!”
