“I Was Warned”: Logan Co-Writer Gives His Opinion on Deadpool & Wolverine Opening



There is a solution for every problem

We might actually be worried. When it was announced that Wolverine would return for the third installment of the Deadpool saga, titled Deadpool and Wolverinea serious and two-fold problem has appeared. On the one hand, how to bring back to life the metal-clawed superhero, who died at the end of the excellent Logan and so Hugh Jackman’s last appearance in the character to date? On the other hand, once this issue has been resolved thanks to the different timelines of the MCU multiverse, how can we not discredit, smear and dishonor the beautiful emotion at the end of James Mangold’s film, released in 2017 and acclaimed by critics? ?

The fear was well founded, given the wry humor of Ryan Reynolds/Wade Wilson Deadpool and Wolverine makes fun of the glorious legacy of Logan. Michael Green, co-writer of Loganrecently expressed his opinion on how the phenomenon of summer cinema has remained Logan and paid “homage” to his end.

“That’s a huge compliment.”

During an interview with IGN, Michael Green explained:

I was warned in advance, “Um, I don’t know how you’re going to feel when you watch the opening scene of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’” I said, “I think I know what’s going to happen.” But I didn’t know anything about it! I had no idea they were going to get to this point.”

In the introduction to Deadpool and WolverineDeadpool must find Wolverine to save his “timeline” and that of his loved ones, and therefore save his life and theirs. Convinced that he is not truly dead, he goes to his grave, where he is in Logan. He digs up the corpse, first desecration, and then fights against the TVA agents using all the bones of his rotten body… Second and monumental desecration, perfectly in line with the kind of madness that Deadpool indulges in. But Michael Green was not offended and explains the reason:

The idea was to not seriously consider that they were actually digging him up and that it was him. It felt less like they were trying to change the ending of “Logan” and more like they were addressing the fact that they didn’t want to make a “good” movie like “Logan,” which is a huge compliment! I felt like it was nothing but a compliment.

Really well done to Ryan Reynolds for not trying to cling to the tragic emotion. Logan but having taken on his humorous shift until the end, and explicitly presupposed that the two films did not really fall into the same cinematic category.
