DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE Star Says They Were "Terrified" About On-Screen Reunion With [SPOILER]

While being interviewed on the red carpet of the Deadpool and Wolverine premiere, a certain actor admitted to being apprehensive about a long-awaited reunion...

Though this actor's return was confirmed in the recent final trailer, some of you pointed out that you've been avoiding all marketing for the movie in a previous post, so just in case, here's your spoiler warning.

After making a big impact in James Mangold's Logan back in 2017, Dafne Keen will finally get the opportunity to reprise the role of Laura/X-23 in Deadpool and Wolverine, and The Acolyte star has now admitted to being somewhat apprehensive about the prospect of an on-screen reunion with Hugh Jackman after so many years.

Keen told Deadline that she was "terrified that it wouldn't work anymore" while being interviewed before the movie's world premiere, but quickly realized that it wouldn't take them long to recapture the old chemistry.

Of course, this isn't the same Logan Laura bonded with in the previous film, so their dynamic is a little different. Without spoiling anything, we'll just say that X-23 has more than just a brief cameo and proves to be a huge highlight.

Have a look at the interview and some more photos at the links below.

The MPAA recently gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

The movie is set to open in U.S. & Canadian theaters on July 26, and will be available in IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD and premium screens everywhere. Will you be checking out Deadpool and Wolverine opening weekend? Let us know in the comments section.

@Arthorious - No, still working on it... it's slow going.

@MarkCassidy - Slow going cos you enjoyed it and a lot to unpack whilst trying to avoid spoilers or slow going cos it didn't work for you and struggling to put your finger on why?

Watched twice already. Fun but forgettable, like watching a saturday morning cartoon

@vectorsigma - The first reactions from the spectators in France are not good. They're more mixed than anything at best.

I wonder if we're not heading toward a The Last Jedi scenario with good press reviews but VERY mixed reactions from the spectators.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/24/2024, 10:13 AM
@Amuro - it is really hard to rely on press reviews nowadays. Conflict of interest is always there, be it for free premier tickets or outright checks. Who will say negative for those???

It is really not good overall.

@Amuro - Bonjour ! Nah, it's not TLJ awful, it's quite good but not great Biggest flaw to me is there's a lot of talking scenes - and they're good and they're needed - but it feels like those scenes will be fast forwarded when you have it on Blu-ray

@Amuro - + On the site Allociné, the grades go like this : 3,7/5 for the critics and 3,8/5 for the audience.

@vectorsigma - lol, I honestly can't wait. I know you didn't like it, but I feel like we're in the [frick]et List age of cbms right now with this and next year's Superman and Fantastic Four.

It's like people are just making fun, unashamedly comic booky movies and I'm here for it. Whether the GA let us get away with it for too long is another thing, we need them to buy tickets too for it to be sustainable.

But it does feel like Feige and Gunn and others have looked at the superhero fatigue thing and thought "Oh [frick], if this thing could actually end then what would we wish we'd have done while we still could?" and they're just making those movies now. Just in case it all ends, at least we got a few 100%, uncompromised comic-booky cbms before they took it all away from us.

@ObserverIO - tbf, i was excited going in and still enjoyed it.

You have a good point there and in a way, this movie is a very good example of that "i dont care about this and that, here's what you want, we give it to you" mentality.

Maybe this is an experiment for feige. But i sure do hope he experiments getting back whedon. "What if i bring back this douche of a guy and see if he could bring the spark back". Lolz

For Gunn, i always see him as very passionate with his craft. There is that kind of playfulness but he doesnt let it go astray.
ObserverIO
ObserverIO - 7/24/2024, 1:51 PM
@vectorsigma - true, he is an artist he cares about the finished piece as a whole. And Whedon WOULD bring the spark back, no ifs or buts about it. He's a force of nature. He only failed Justice League because it was unsaveable. Marvel's not unsaveable.

@CapA - Allociné is not the website of reference it used to be. The direction of the site has changed and now they're censoring users reviews when it doesn't fit their agenda (aka the studios that paid them to get their movies a good reputation).

I knew a time when Allociné was really a website of movie fans from the team administrating the site to the users and when everyone could post their honest opinion (and movie studios reacted to it and played the game since the website was THE way to get some exposition), but that time is long gone and the team from back then left right after the buyout by Webedia.

@vectorsigma - "Fun but forgettable, like watching a saturday morning cartoon"

In other words, everything a comic book movie should be.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/28/2024, 8:32 AM
@clintthahamster - forgettable!?
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 7/28/2024, 10:31 AM
@vectorsigma - Forgettable is a judgement call, but inessential, ephemeral? Yes. Pop culture. Out of 34 MCU movies, there are fewer than 10 that I would call objectively "great." It's okay for a movie to be a fun summer comedy.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/28/2024, 10:34 AM
@clintthahamster - i enjoyed it for what it is. Maybe was expecting too much that it will make me take back my criticisms from before like xmen 97.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 7/28/2024, 10:37 AM
@vectorsigma - My appreciation for comic book movies was wired back when Burton's Batman was the absolute peak of quality, and everything else was forgettable dreck. The MCU at its worst is better than 75% of 80s and 90s CBMs, so I'm living my best life. I think hanging out on this website (and Twitter, and Reddit) sets up expectations that can never be met. I need to kick the habit, but then I'd miss all the weirdos around here.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/28/2024, 10:47 AM
@clintthahamster - this site never was a factor on my expectations tbh. I am really not a regular internet user aside from this site.

So it is a bit of a personal catharsis more than anything. But i still want the mcu to get back on track.
Clintthahamster
Clintthahamster - 7/28/2024, 1:17 PM
@vectorsigma - It's never a factor in my expectations of the quality of a film (except that when the usual suspects hate a film before it comes out, it piques my interest.) It's more about having at least an inkling, if not certain knowledge, about most of the cameos, knowing that there was going to be a Deadpool Corps, etc. Some of the beats that surprised and delighted my friends didn't hit the same for me. Like, "Oh, they got Channing Tatum after all, cool," as opposed to "OH SHIT, CHANNING TATUM."

The action in the 3rd act in the void is horrible. I saw a metacritic comparison to a highschool production and i agree.

Peaked at Deadpool 1.
Amuro
Amuro - 7/24/2024, 10:17 AM
@vectorsigma - I don't think it's about how the movie is performing in comparison to the previous Deadpool movies but whether or not it takes a step toward making the MCU relevant again after the slump from the last five years.

Deadpool & Wolverine is literally the next movie after the biggest box-office bomb of all time (The Marvels) and the only MCU movie this year. If it doesn't perform well because of bad word-to-mouth, it doesn't bear any good news for Marvel Studios (though Disney could count on the success of Inside Out 2 to save their year).
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/24/2024, 10:18 AM
@Amuro - i for one believe that this movie shouldve big mcu imolications to make people care again for the mcu.

Sorry to spoil but there is none.

It prides itself as a "farewell" to fox characters but it fell flat for me.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/24/2024, 10:09 AM
Also, i dont like it how they just decided to make the tva guys be fodder for the violence.

How can we take the serious "i want to save my friends" deadpool if he just mangles people, who are not really bad guys like that? These are in the trailers btw.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 7/24/2024, 10:20 AM
@vectorsigma - I mean, THEY weren't his friends... Deadpool has never been afraid to murder a shit load of people if they get in his way.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/24/2024, 10:27 AM
@MarkCassidy - i know they are not his friends, but they are really not bad guys to deserve such violence unlike the henchmen of francis in part 1 for example

I mean those can be done on nova's henchmen for that bloody action sequence (the rationale of having henchmen is still a question to me), and just mildly incapacitate the tva guys.
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 7/24/2024, 10:33 AM
@vectorsigma - But why would he differentiate is my point? All he knew about the TVA at that point is that they were threatening t destroy his world.
vectorsigma
vectorsigma - 7/24/2024, 10:41 AM
@MarkCassidy - it was actually just paradox that threatened his world, and he just punched him.

Was just hoping that the writing gave it some more thought. These tva guys are just folllowing orders and are actually not violent in trying to reprimand him with their prune sticks. Rules of engagement.

@ObserverIO - well yeah, it is a matter of perspective.

Had a conversation with mark on this a while ago. Dp went all hell with the fodder but not the boss. If given the chance, any foot soldier would want to get hitler in a violentl way.
