As a longtime fan of both Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and the Deadpool franchise, I was initially skeptical about how Deadpool & Wolverine would work after Logan’s poignant ending. The thought of retconning Wolverine’s death seemed like a risky move that could potentially tarnish the legacy of one of my favorite superhero films.
Warning: Contains mild spoilers for the opening scenes of Deadpool & Wolverine.
After the announcement that Hugh Jackman would reprise his character as Wolverine in Deadpool and Wolverine, a common query emerged: How will this be explained since he died in Logan?
Some supporters were concerned that the upcoming Ryan Reynolds movie could spoil the “pure” conclusion of Logan (released in 2017), where Wolverine made the heartfelt decision to give up his life and succumb to his wounds in poignant final scenes.
Now that Deadpool and Wolverine have hit theaters, their shocking backstory is unveiled in an awe-inspiring opening scene accompanied by a fantastic noughties tune.
When Hugh expressed his agreement, we understood the need to shield Logan and respected the significance of that film’s conclusion. At the same time, we desired to add some daring Deadpool elements to it.
We had a clear vision for the beginning of this film, and once Kevin Feige and Marvel agreed, saying “This is where Deadpool’s story begins – with this opening scene,” our excitement grew. The tone was set unmistakably from the start.
They still had to pitch the idea to Jackman – but, luckily, there was no issue there.
“[Hugh] laughed his ass off,” Levy revealed.
As a movie buff who’s closely followed the developments in this production, I can tell you that in the later scenes involving Matthew Macfadyen and the TVA, we explicitly pay homage to the events of “Logan.” This acknowledgement is a testament to the deep appreciation and reverence our team holds for that iconic movie.
In keeping with Deadpool’s trademark style, the film aims to challenge expectations. It skillfully blends subversion with homage, showcasing our deep affection for the MCU and Logan. The enjoyment came from finding that perfect equilibrium.
In the third installment of the Deadpool series, rated R for mature audiences, Deadpool teams up with Wolverine to face a mutual foe. Additionally featured in this film are actresses Emma Corrin and Macfadyen.
Plus, we’re expecting to see a whole host of MCU/X-Men cameos – so keep your eyes peeled!
