Marvel fans have eagerly anticipated the release of Deadpool 3, and now it seems the movie will bring more than just another installment of Wade Wilson’s adventures. Rob Liefeld, co-creator of the Deadpool comic book, suggests that the highly anticipated film will have a significant focus on Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, marking a major shift for the franchise.
The Return Of Wolverine:
Jackman’s return as Wolverine is a groundbreaking development, considering the actor’s previous retirement from the role following 2017’s Logan. His involvement in Deadpool 3 raises curiosity and excitement, leaving fans wondering about the reasons behind his return.
A Team-Up Movie:
Liefeld’s remarks imply that Deadpool 3 will extend beyond a standalone Deadpool film by incorporating Wolverine into the narrative. This long-awaited team-up between the accurate portrayal of Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine has been a fervent desire among fans for years. Their first on-screen encounter in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was met with disappointment, as Reynolds’ character was poorly depicted and bore little resemblance to the beloved anti-hero.
Now, with Deadpool 3 set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ryan Reynolds has the opportunity to portray a faithful rendition of Deadpool alongside Jackman’s Wolverine. Jackman has previously expressed interest in joining the MCU and interacting with the Avengers, making this collaboration all the more exciting. If Liefeld’s assertion holds true, the film’s emphasis on Wolverine could pave the way for his interaction with other iconic MCU heroes.
Possible Storyline:
Rumors surrounding Deadpool 3 suggest that the Time Variance Authority (TVA) from Loki will pursue Deadpool for his interference with multiple timelines at the conclusion of Deadpool 2. Given the increased focus on Wolverine, one possible direction for the movie could involve Logan aiding Deadpool’s escape from the TVA by traversing various universes. Jackman’s previous statement about playing dual roles in Deadpool 3 aligns with Liefeld’s comment, hinting at the potential inclusion of multiple iterations of Wolverine. However, it is unlikely that Jackman will be revealed as the MCU’s Wolverine.
