DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Still Sees Logan Explore The TVA As Shawn Levy Explains Reasoning For Movie's Cameos

Deadpool & Wolverine may still be a couple of months away, but Marvel Studios has been pulling out all the stops in recent weeks to build excitement for the highly anticipated team-up. 

Entertainment Weekly is the latest outlet to sit down with director Shawn Levy and managed to get a few new details out of the filmmaker regarding his approach to what's looking like a long list of cameos. 

"I'll say we didn't start off with a wishlist," he admits. "From the day we started devising this Deadpool and Wolverine story, we let the story dictate the characters, not the other way around. Aaron and his return as Pyro was an outgrowth of that, and that applies to pretty much all the characters you'll see in the movie."

This might be a sign to temper expectations, particularly when it comes to some of the wilder rumours out there about who may or may not appear in the threequel. 

Ultimately, it's the Merc with with Mouth and Logan finally sharing the screen in a fan-pleasing way which Deadpool & Wolverine's success will hinge on. For Levy, Hugh Jackman coming on board was the game-changer. 

"Everything changed radically on the day that Hugh called Ryan," he explains. "We had been workshopping a lot of ideas about possible stories for a third Deadpool movie. Those were story ideas that were more sequelly to the first two Deadpools, but None of them imagined such a seismic shift. I can safely say that the story completely changed and, in fact, came to us very, very quickly starting that day."

"Everyone assumed that Hugh's return was the result of me or Ryan pestering or pitching him relentlessly. But even more miraculously, this was the result of a Hugh Jackman epiphany. He wanted to do this team-up of Logan and Deadpool, and so it really was a sky-opening gift from the heavens type of phone call that changed everything."

"This is still Wade dealing with certain issues," Levy continues, "but it's very much two characters, two heroes, and two haunted men hoisted together in a shared journey."

Check out a new still from Deadpool & Wolverine - which sees the duo in the TVA and Wade Wilson holding a TemPad - in the X post below.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool & Wolverine, which stars Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen. The movie is written by Ryan Reynolds & Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick & Zeb Wells & Shawn Levy.

The trades have confirmed that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra, with Wesley Snipes, James Marsden, Famke Janssen, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Dafne Keen, Channing Tatum, Blake Lively and, as we mentioned above, even singer Taylor Swift among those rumoured to make an appearance. 

Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers.

Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in theaters on July 26.

The biggest question I have is does Logan get the suit from the TVA or is it his original suit from his X Men's timeline?

@TheVandalore - Original suit I think. Those who saw the Cinemacon footage said that Wade said something about how he can't believe the X-Men made him wear it.
TheVandalore
TheVandalore - 5/7/2024, 1:27 PM
@ObserverIO - interesting.

My thinking is maybe it's a new suit made by the TVA molded after his timelines X-Men suit. Only because it's new. In the trailer wade finds this wolverine in a bar, and it seems his X-Men all died because he failed his world, so I figured any suit he would have had likely wouldn't look brand spanking new for this adventure with Deadpool.

My thinking is Wade brings Logan to the TVA to suit up before they go to the world with the Fox logo and the suit loses it's sleeves.

That's just my rational from the trailerand the suit being clean.

@TheVandalore - That's good reasoning, maybe you're right.

@ObserverIO - I suppose Logan could just have a spare clean suit in a backpack or something, but I have a feeling the shots we've seen of Deadpool suiting up at the TVA also has shots mixed in of Logan suiting up too that weren't in the trailers.

Fan service is not a bad thing…

It can be fun as long as it’s supporting the story without becoming it.

Some of these could be just fun cameos they thought would fit well in certain roles within the story but I could see some like X-23 if true that would be more meaningful to Logan’s arc of redemption in this aswell (which to me are the more satisfying ones).

Anyway , I like the comments and am looking forward to the film!!.

... i gotta imagine Ryan talking about it for years factored into it heavily as well.

If you showed me this pic of [frick]ing Hugh Jackman inside the TVA with Deadpool holding a tempad after Endgame released I couldn’t even begin to fathom it.

The MCU has faltered a bit but I’m sorry this shit is super exciting. Use Secret Wars for all the nostalgia and actually wrapping up all plot lines at this point idc, just give us awesome shit like this.
