Fans of Wolverine are counting down the seconds before their favorite character makes a triumphant comeback in the forthcoming superhero movie Deadpool & Wolverine, also known as Deadpool 3. Many people are interested in learning how Wolverine, who was slain in the 2017 movie Logan, would be returned to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MCU’s time-travel technology, which enables superheroes to traverse between timelines, is the most likely reason for Wolverine’s reappearance. Wolverine may remain dead in Logan while being alive in Deadpool 3, thanks to this gadget.
When Hugh Jackman was asked about Wolverine’s comeback in Deadpool 3, he brought up this “device” in a 2022 SiriusXM interview. “It’s all because of this device they have in the Marvel world of moving around timelines,” Jackman said. We may now return because, well, it’s “science.” I don’t have to alter the Logan chronology, which is something I really cared about. And, I believe, to the fans as well.
Given that Deadpool 3 is a multiverse movie, more MCU heroes and villains may possibly make an appearance. In 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, starring Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland as the three Spider-Men, the idea of the multiverse was also depicted.
The idea that the events in Deadpool & Wolverine occur before Logan is another explanation for Wolverine’s appearance in the movie. When Jackman made an appearance on the talk program Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace last year, he made references to this hypothesis. Deadpool and Wolverine are “pre-Logan,” according to Jackman.
Jackman said that he was excited to play Wolverine again because he wanted to see how his character’s relationship with Deadpool would evolve. “It reminds me of Deadpool and Wolverine, the iconic rivals from comic books. There’s also a dynamic I’ve never really had to do as Wolverine, and I just thought this is going to be fun, something I’ve never done before,” he said. And I’m eager.
The release date of Deadpool & Wolverine is set for July 26, 2024. Shawn Levy is the director, and he authored the script with Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Zeb Wells, and Paul Wernick.
