It was in 2017 that Hugh Jackman bid farewell to Wolverine with ‘Logan’, starring in one of the most loved superhero movies by critics and superhero movie fans alike.
Although Jackman had said at the time that it was his farewell to the mutant X-Men, something made him change his mind and this summer he will appear in the classic yellow suit in “Deadpool & Wolverine”, although that almost did not happen. .
Kevin Feige didn’t want Hugh Jackman to return as Wolverine
This summer, Deadpool will make his debut in the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) and Ryan Reynolds made sure this announcement was a big one, revealing in September 2022 on his social networks that Hugh Jackman would return as the mutant Wolverine .
A few months after its release in theaters, it was revealed that Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, tried to dissuade actor Hugh Jackman from playing the superhero again for an important reason.
According to information from Empire magazine, Feige spoke directly with Hugh Jackman, as he thinks that ‘Logan’ was a great movie to say goodbye to the mutant.
In the end, Feige shared that he accepted when it was explained to him that “this is not quite the Logan we’ve met in other X-Men movies.”
While Hugh Jackman said that it was during a trip that he came up with the idea of being Wolverine and being in a movie with Deadpool, so he contacted Ryan Reynolds to pitch his idea.
Even though he advised him, Hugh Jackman was already determined to return to superhero movies. So we will have to wait for the premiere of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ on July 25 in Latin America, while it will arrive in the United States a day later.
‘Deadpool 3’ would have a completely different story. Kevin Feige turned it down
Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, had an original idea for the film that was rejected by producer Kevin Feige.
Reynolds proposed a kind of superhero version of the Japanese film “Rashomon”, in which the story of Wolverine and Deadpool was to be told from 3 completely different perspectives.
Ultimately, Feige wasn’t sure how to integrate Deadpool at the time and focused on how to bring mutants and the X-Men into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), having his first look at the post-credits scene of “The Marvels’.
The movie ‘Deadpool 3’ promises to show different aspects of Wolverine that we haven’t seen before in other movies, and his inclusion in the MCU is an exciting twist for fans of this franchise.
