Deadpool & Wolverine: Hugh Jackman Shares Behind-the-Scenes Look at His Wolverine Transformation

As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who has witnessed the evolution of superhero films over the past few decades, I must say that the collaboration between Deadpool and Wolverine is nothing short of spectacular. Having grown up with Hugh Jackman‘s portrayal of Wolverine in the X-Men movies, it was a delight to see him return to the silver screen, albeit in an unexpected way. The filmmakers have managed to maintain the essence of the character while offering a fresh take on the iconic hero.


As a die-hard moviegoer, I can’t help but marvel at the jaw-dropping success of Deadpool & Wolverine! This fifth weekend in theaters, it’s been tearing up the box office with record-breaking numbers, racking up over $1.1 billion so far. Not only did it outshine Joker to claim the title of highest-grossing R-rated movie ever, but it’s also garnered a 78% critics score and an impressive 95% audience approval on Rotten Tomatoes!

As a seasoned actor with decades of experience under my belt, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some truly remarkable individuals. But let me tell you, the duo of Hugh Jackman and James Mangold on the set of “Deadpool and Wolverine” stands out as exceptional.

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Return, Explained:

Fans have been curious about how the third Deadpool movie would handle the storyline following the emotional finale of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in Logan (2017). Since Jackman’s character met a permanent and moving end, fans are concerned that the upcoming film with Ryan Reynolds might compromise Logan’s legacy. However, the new movie cleverly incorporates Jackman’s return while also ensuring the beloved Wolverine finds his peaceful end.

The story begins when Deadpool unearths Logan’s corpse, only to find out to his dismay that the character is indeed deceased. With Logan’s adamantium-laced skeleton serving as his weapons, Deadpool wreaks havoc on members of the TVA. Although some might be troubled by this, many will likely appreciate the humor. As Logan from the previous movies is now confirmed dead, Deadpool embarks on a journey through different universes in search of a Wolverine who can assist him in his endeavor to save his own universe.

In a series of encounters, Deadpool runs into various iterations of Wolverine, each one offering unexpected twists. Eventually, he crosses paths with the original Wolverine, who’s grappling with his past misdeeds and isn’t the hero we typically know. Instead, this Wolverine has disappointed his X-Men team severely. Feeling like a disappointment himself, the titular character is easily provoked and clearly displeased by Deadpool’s mischief.

As a gamer diving into a fresh take on Wolverine, I must admit that even though this character isn’t the same one who bid farewell in Logan, it’s hard not to develop an emotional bond with him. He might be more rugged and unrefined compared to previous portrayals, but Hugh Jackman knows the drill when it comes to breathing life into Wolverine in a way that leaves fans satisfied.
