Deadpool 3, or Wolverine and Deadpool, has all the makings of the greatest Marvel Studios movie of all time. That may seem like hyperbole, but seeing these characters share the screen is the sort of thing comic book fans dream about!
With all signs pointing to the team-up taking its leads on a trip through the Marvel Multiverse (likely resulting in the Merc with a Mouth "stranded" in the MCU), the threequel looks set to be much bigger than the version Fox once had planned. Talking to People, star Hugh Jackman teased doing something completely new with Wolverine when he finally meets Deadpool.
"When I keep thinking of me and Ryan, of Deadpool and Wolverine, which are classic comic-book rivals, there’s also a dynamic that I’ve never really got to do before as Wolverine," the actor teases. "I just thought, 'This is gonna be fun. Something I’ve never done before. I can’t wait.'"
"I was at peace with it," Jackman said of his decision to bid farewell to Wolverine in 2017's Logan. "I got asked every day, either in interviews or Ryan Reynolds [saying,] 'Can we do it again?' and I’m like, 'No, I’m done.'"
As for what fans can expect from the Deadpool threequel, he adds: "I think being on set with [Ryan] every day and those two on film in every city together everyday...I think it’s fair to say they’ll be punching the sh*t out of each other the whole time. All jokes aside, I’ll probably have more fun on this movie than any other I’ve ever done."
Jackman is clearly excited to don the claws again, though it doesn't sound like this will necessarily be the final time he does so. There are already rumblings the actor will reprise the role in Avengers: Secret Wars, and we're hoping he dons that classic yellow and blue costume in at least one of these upcoming projects.
Cameras will begin rolling on the next Deadpool movie later this year, so we may get a first look at these two in action a little sooner than expected!
Deadpool 3, or Wolverine and Deadpool, is currently set to be released in theaters on November 8, 2024.
