The fact that one of the greatest superheroes of all time will be revived in a movie five years after his demise in his standalone story serves as tons of evidence that no one is really gone forever in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In a recent interview, Jackman outlined how they managed to revive Wolverine and bring him into the MCU, promising fans that Deadpool 3 wouldn’t alter the Logan timeline.

Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine and is about to debut in the MCU, discussed how Deadpool 3 fits into the Marvel continuity alongside his last X-Men movie, Logan.

Logan director James Mangold commented on Jackman’s return, and Jackman said that “he was actually quite cool about it. I did inform him that it happened before our film, so I wasn’t going to mess with the claws popping out of the grave. So he was relieved, and he completely understood. He thought it was a brilliant concept.”

“All because of this technology they have in the Marvel world of shifting around timelines, now we can go back because, you know, it’s science, so I don’t have to tamper with the Logan timeline, which was essential to me.” “And, I believe, to the fans as well,” Jackman stated.

“None of us wanted to mess with it.” I was quite pleased with the movie and what we accomplished, and it seemed just right. And for five years, I was really, honestly, I can tell you, sort of a hard done, I was like, “This is it.” It was August 14, I was driving, and it simply hit me like that. I just thought it would be a lot of fun. “I’m sure I’ll have more pleasure making that movie than anything else I’ve ever done.”

Jackman was asked about the relationship between Wade and Logan in the movie.

“How do I categorize it?” “We’re zero; we’re opposites; we despise each other,” he stated, referring to the number ten being extremely near to zero. “I’m just speaking from my perspective; Logan is frustrated by him, wants to be a million miles away from him, or wants to hit him in the head.” Unfortunately, in this film, he can’t be a million miles away from him, so I’m going to punch him in the head a lot.
