2022 is nearly at an end, and we find it hard to imagine there being a bigger news story than Hugh Jackman joining the MCU as Wolverine for Deadpool 3. The announcement broke the internet, and both he and co-star Ryan Reynolds have now addressed how their upcoming team-up came to be in an interview with Variety.

Jackman started by saying his interest in playing the clawed mutant again first arose in 2016. "I went to a screening of 'Deadpool.' I was 20 minutes in, and I was like, 'Ah, damn it!' All I kept seeing in my head was '48 Hours' with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. So it’s been brewing for a long time. It just took me longer to get here."

Of course, by that point, he'd already shot Logan, a movie that ended Wolverine's story and served as Jackman's "official" retirement from the role. 

However, after constant "on the daily" pleas from Reynolds to return as the X-Man, the actor finally made his mind up this past August. It was then he made the call to his old friend. "I think, actually, he’d given up," Jackman says. "I think it was a big shock to him. There was a massive pause, and then he said, 'I can’t believe the timing of this.'"

Funnily enough, the call came right as the Deadpool actor was about to meet with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. 

"Oh my God, I’m thrilled. It’s like old home week. To get to be on set with one of my closest friends each and every day is a dream come true. But to do it with these two iconic characters side by side, that’s beyond our wildest dreams," Reynolds says, revealing that he actually pushed for Wolverine to be included in Deadpool 3 when they first met three and a half years ago. 

"It wasn’t possible then," he adds. "For this to be happening now is pretty damn exciting."

We're all referring to this movie as Deadpool 3, but is that what Jackman expects it to be called? "Well, not in my heart. I’m pretty sure Wolverine wouldn’t like that title."

Deadpool 3 (Deadpool vs. Wolverine?) is set to be released in theaters on November 8, 2024.

Why wouldn't it be called Deadpool 3? The second one was called Deadpool 2. And it already has the perfect logo.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - I could see them dropping the number and giving it a title or subtitle instead. It will likely be a soft reboot into the MCU.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - IMO they should have kept it as "Untitled Deadpool Sequel" as it was referred as until the first trailer.

So how will Marvel introduce MCU Wolverine now?

and won't be want to continue with Hugh Jackman as Wolverine?

CorndogBurglar

@WakandaTech - I fully expect most of the movie to take place in the Fox universe.

Then near the end.....maybe even while Wolverine and Deadpool are about to finish each other off, Deadpool gets pulled into the MCU through an incursion, while Wolverine is left in the Fox-Verse.

I can't see Jackman wanting to play this character any more. This feels like a one-off deal because it's kind of special.

Then they can still introduce the MCU Wolverine with a different actor and everything. They've already teased that Wolverine already exists in the MCU. So I really don't expect Jackman to be the MCU Wolvie. He's too old to play the MCU Wolverine for another 10 years or more.

My wish is that this is "Deadpool kills the Fox-Marvel Universe" with him confronting Wolverine as the final Fox-Marvel Universe defender. And after it becomes clear that they can't kill each other, Deadpool offers to bring Wolverine to the MCU (which is the whole inciting incident for Deadpool's murder-spree), hence the buddy road trip element. But then, at the gates of the MCU, it's revealed that only one of the two can come over, so they fight it out. Deadpool loses, but uses his 4th-wall breaks to rewrite the script so that Wolverine loses. And that's how the FoX-Men are concluded, and Deadpool joins the MCU.

Hugh better be in the classic Wolverine suit for a majority of the film lol
Blastaar
Blastaar - 10/26/2022, 2:28 PM
Yeah, I'm cool with a "ONE OFF" but that's about it.

I'm ready to see somebody else, and somebody MUCH more comic book accurate as Wolverine. I don't want to keep seeing too handsome & "TALLVERINE".

That said, Ryan Reynolds seems to be BORN to play Deadpool.

@Blastaar - "TALLVERINE"
They don't call the comic book version "shortverine"...!🤪

Ooh, maybe, they could get another Broadway song & dance man, "Benvereen"...!😉👍
Blastaar
Blastaar - 10/27/2022, 11:35 AM
@Deadinside - Lol!

Well they didn't have to because wolverines are short anyway.
Hence why they called the character that. LOL!

Ben Vereen. LOL! Whatchu know bout that Youngblood? LOL!
Deadinside
Deadinside - 10/27/2022, 1:06 PM
@Blastaar - I saw Ben Vereen, LIVE, perform songs from Pippin back in 1973...!😳
