With the arrival of the first trailer, the countdown to the release of Deadpool & Wolverinethe film that will introduce the Marvel Cinematic Universe two beloved heroes that we had previously seen in other cinematic genres.
Among the elements that have generated the most hype it’s definitely there from the start the great return of Hugh Jackman in the role of Wolverinethe character that made him famous to the general public and which he played for the first time in 2000 X-Men by Bryan Singer. His arc ended in 2017 with Loganafter which the actor confirmed his firm decision to no longer play the role of the superhero (despite the fact that the film was a huge success and his was also voted as the “Greatest Superhero Movie Performance of All Time“).
Seven years later, Jackman will return to his most famous role. But the decision certainly wasn’t easy: from an interview with Empire we discover that even the boss Kevin Feige he was reluctant to make a big comeback and tried to discourage the actor Australian to make his official entry into the MCU. In fact, Feige said: “I told him, ‘Hugh, let me give you some advice. Do not do it. With Logan you created the greatest ending in history. You shouldn’t risk ruining it.”.
Both the president of Marvel Studios and the actor himself were definitively convinced when the team of Deadpool & Wolverine has speculated on the idea of the multiverse, confirming that the Wolverine we will see on screen in July it won’t be the same as previous timelineswho actually died at the end of Logan. «This film will show us new sides of the character that we have never seen before»Jackman announced in the same interview.
In addition to being skeptical about Wolverine’s return, Kevin Feige recalled having rejected Ryan Reynolds’ initial idea for the plot of the third film of Deadpool. “The truth is that I still wasn’t sure how to introduce Deadpool in the MCU. I was focused on adding mutants and X-Men and thought I needed to do more than just the classics. But the truth is that Ryan is an idea machine: he proposed that plot to me, but also 25 other different stories »he recalled.
Deadpool & Wolverinedirected by Shawn Levy and written by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux, will be in theaters on July 26, 2024.
