How Deadpool & Wolverine Addresses the Events of Logan

As a long-time fan of both Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and the Deadpool universe, I was initially apprehensive about the announcement of “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The poignant ending of “Logan” was a powerful conclusion to Jackman’s iconic portrayal of Wolverine, and I feared that bringing him back would diminish that. But after watching the movie, I can confidently say that my concerns were unfounded.

As a dedicated gamer and avid Marvel fan, I can’t help but share my excitement and curiosity when the news broke out that Hugh Jackman would be reprising his iconic role as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3. Don’t get me wrong; I hold nothing but respect for Jackman’s portrayal of the character, which began way back in 2000. However, many fellow fans and I harbored concerns that this comeback might tarnish the emotional and powerful ending of Logan. In that groundbreaking film, Wolverine made the ultimate sacrifice to protect a young X-23 (Dafne Keen), leaving us with a bittersweet sense of closure.

Caution: The following article reveals significant details from the stories of Deadpool and Wolverine. Proceed with caution if you don’t want these surprises ruined.

In the opening scene of Deadpool & Wolverine, Deadpool, played by Ryan Reynolds, challenges the idea that Wolverine (from Logan) is truly dead. He unearths Wolverine’s body and finds only an adamantium skeleton remaining. Instead of mourning his friend, Deadpool decides to use the skeleton as a formidable weapon against a horde of TVA agents.

The finale of Logan leaves a deep impact, as Deadpool learns that Logan held a pivotal role in his own timeline. With Logan’s demise, it is implied that the timeline will soon follow. This revelation compels Deadpool to embark on a quest to discover a new Wolverine and preserve the lineage.

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: In the story of Logan, the demise of Wolverine from Deadpool’s timeline didn’t lessen his heroic status. Instead, it intensified it. The sacrifices he made were celebrated throughout the movie. When X-23 appeared later in the story with the new (least impressive) Wolverine, she reminded him of how his variant had saved countless lives through his selfless act. This realization pushed the new Wolverine to strive harder and aim higher, becoming the hero that he knew he could be, all inspired by what we witnessed in Logan.
