DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Producer On Hugh Jackman And Spoiler's Beautiful On Set Reunion

If you've seen the final trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine then you're aware that there's a special X-Men reunion that takes place in the film...

It seems the production team behind Deadpool & Wolverine were keeping one big surprise under wraps until the release of the final trailer.  A quick shoot revealed that SPOILER: [Dafne Keen's X-23] will be returning in the movie.

Recently, inverse caught up with Deadpool & Wolverine producer Wendy Jacobson (She-Hulk, San Andreas) to discuss the reveal and how that unfolded on set.

Spoilers follow.

If you've made it this far, then you're aware that we're referring to none other than the return of Dafne Keen's X-23.

Touching on her reunion with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, Jacobson shared, "It’s interesting because cameo is a word we don’t really say in our film. To us, it’s purely story-driven. If someone is showing up, they have a beginning, middle, and end."

"Dafne coming in gives the film a real emotional poignancy and resonance. I will say, the one thing from the filmmakers side that was so cool was seeing Dafne and Hugh see each other for the first time before we started shooting."

"I’m pretty sure they hadn’t see each other in several years. She was just a kid when they made that movie and now she’s a grown-up, so it was really beautiful to see them reconnect."

Based on Jacobson's comments, it seems Keen won't just have a cameo in the film and that her appearance will be central to the plot.

Without going too far into (potential) spoiler territory, the prevailing theory is that the Wolverine teaming up with Deadpool in the film is a Variant from 2017's Logan, one who failed to stop X-24 and the Reavers from carrying out Transigen's nefarious plan.

In Marvel's Deadpool & Wolverine, Shawn Levy directs Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and Ryan Reynold's Deadpool in an MCU film that has been described as an epic, time-traveling, road-trip buddy film that will change the Marvel Cinematic Universe forever.

Joining Jackman and Reynolds are Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova (Professor X's evil twin), Matthew Macfadyen as the Time Variance Authority's Mr. Paradox,  Morena Baccarin as Vanessa Carlysle, Rob Delaney as Peter Wisdom,  Leslie Uggams as Blind Al,  Karan Soni as Dopinder,  Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Shioli Kutsuna as Yukio.

Also appearing in supporting roles are Stefan Kapičić as Colossus,  Lewis Tan as Shatterstar, Aaron Stanford as Pyro, Tyler Mane as Sabretooth, and Jennifer Garner as Elektra Natchios.

 Deadpool & Wolverine opens in North American theaters on July 26.

Deadpool & Wolverine Synopsis: Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date – Deadpool & Wolverine. 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 – [frick]. Synopses are so [frick]ing stupid.

She’ll likely be the one to push Wolverine further into the hero he used to be again which is nice and a good way to honor Logan.

It’s the right way to use these Multiversal cameos since it’s not just a fun moment but it’s based in character and their emotional arcs.

@TheVisionary25 - agreed. Only from the short clip alone it'll look like she has a big impact on Wolverine, even if (or even because of) it isn't her Wolverine.

If the main character is different (i.e. character growth or change) at end of the scene compared to the beginning, it doesn't really matter what it is in the scene that happens as long as it's utilised well imo.

@Order66 - I did plan to rewatch the FoX-verse as well, albeit a short version.

Think X-Men, X2 and Wolverine form a solid trilogy, as does First Class, DoFP and Logan. Only have to fit in the Deadpool movies somehow.

I didn't know there was an The Wolverine Uncut. I always figured he was, since it would keep growing back anyway. Strange premise for a movie.
Order66
Order66 - 7/21/2024, 3:18 PM
@bkmeijer1 - just watch it in chronological timeline order

First class
Origins
X1
X2
Last stand
Wolverine
DOFP
Apocalypse
