Jackman also had some interesting thing's to say about Logan in the article(USA today). Here's an excerpt:
Jackman says that while he has always been grateful for the franchise's success — it has grossed more than $1.1 billion and cemented his leading-man status — he has disagreed with the development of Wolverine's character over the years.
"I'm not mad about it, but I thought he had gotten a bit soft," Jackman says. "I thought we had gotten away from the essence of who Wolverine really is: a bad (dude) who wants to live his own life."
Jackman says he fell in love with the Wolverine character a decade ago for much the same reason fans embrace the comic books.
"The character has always reminded me of Dirty Harry or Han Solo," Jackman says. "He's a good guy, not a nice guy. He's got a lot of flaws, which I think is what people find so attractive about him and the X-Men. He's struggling with who he is and what he wants. He was one of the comics' first anti-heroes."
MTV Splash page artical:
Early shots of Reynolds in action as Deadpool only added to fans’ fears that the movie character would diverge from his print counterpart in this aspect.
However, images of one of the action figures in the upcoming line of “Wolverine” movie toys opened the Deadpool discussion once again, as a strange-looking figure appeared on shelves labeled as “Deadpool” on its packaging. Naturally, this ignited speculation that the bizarre figure with blades on its hands and no obvious mouth was actually the scarred-up version of Reynolds’ character.
Now, with the debut of the new “Wolverine” trailer, we have at least one answer — and a few more questions. (But isn’t that always the way it works?)
A good, up-close look at the character reveales that it certainly isn’t Reynolds with the sealed-up mouth and blades. Also, recent additions to the “Wolverine” movie cast listing on IMDb indicate that the mysterious new mutant is played by Scott Adkins, and goes by the name of “Weapon XI.”
So, it looks like the Deadpool action figure was indeed a red herring, folks — and this won’t be the look sported by the Marvel Merc.
However, there are a few more burning questions left unanswered. While we saw quite a bit more of Reynolds in action as Deadpool — we still don’t know if he’ll ever don the familiar red-and-black mask of his comics counterpart. As for Weapon XI, what role will he play in the film? (And what’s up with his mouth?)
