‘Deadpool 3’: This is how Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine was conceived

Exactly one month has passed since Ryan Reynolds dropped the bomb on his social networks: Hugh Jackman will be in ‘Deadpool 3’ returning to Wolverine (Wolverine) once again after swearing and perjuring that he would never put on the claws of the X-Men mutant again after premiering ‘Logan’ in 2017.

The winks of the Merc with a Mouth towards old Logan had been repeated insistently in the first two ‘Deadpool’ movies, and Ryan Reynolds had been “stalking” Jackman for years so that he would change his decision to hang up his claws and return to play Wolverine for the tenth time, the first within the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Disney.

The truth, according to what Jackman himself affirms to Varietyis that the Australian actor decided to leave the role as Wolverine before seeing ‘Deadpool‘. “I went to a screening of ‘Deadpool.’ I was in for 20 minutes and I was like, ‘Ah, dammit!’” Jackman said. “All I kept seeing in my head was ‘Limit: 48 Hours’ with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. So it’s been brewing for a long time, until it came to this.”

“A small part of me thinks I’d be better off playing him now.Jackman said of returning to his most iconic role. “Is this arrogance due to age or something? Wolverine is a tortured character, more tortured than me. But I always have the feeling that he is comfortable in his own skin. And now I feel more comfortable in my own skin.

Although Jackman has come to sign that Reynolds was begging for his return “daily” for almost 3 years, it was not until this same august who finally decided his return. This was reported to Reynolds in a phone call, and actor and director Shawn Levy were in charge of breaking the news to Kevin Feige shortly after.

“Oh my gosh, I’m excited,” Reynolds said of Jackman’s return. “Being able to be on set with one of my closest friends every day is a dream come true.. But to do it with these two iconic characters side by side is beyond our wildest dreams.”

Reynolds added about Jackman: “I have always been impressed by the full spectrum of his talent.. He came into this scene and got into the zeitgeist as this hyper-masculine superhero character, but he’s also shooting musicals and portraying these intensely vulnerable characters. in all kinds of movies with all kinds of budgets for all kinds of audiences“.

Although there is no official synopsis yet, it is rumored that the new ‘Deadpool 3’ will be a road movie between the two characters. What we do have is a release date: The November 8, 2024.
