Wolverine’s inclusion in Deadpool 3 has sparked curiosity among fans, especially considering the dramatic conclusion of Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of the character in Logan. Given the finality of Wolverine’s story in Logan, some fans are understandably puzzled about his appearance in Deadpool 3 and how it might affect the legacy of Logan.
In Logan, Wolverine met his demise at the hands of a clone of himself, symbolizing a battle with his own inner demons and culminating in a poignant sacrifice. This definitive ending left many fans satisfied with the closure of Wolverine’s arc, making his return in Deadpool 3 a bit perplexing.
However, reassurance came from an unexpected source: a YouTube video titled “Deadpool Update, Part Hugh,” featuring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. In the video, the two actors humorously addressed fans’ concerns, affirming that Deadpool 3 exists in a separate universe from Logan’s timeline. Reynolds emphasized that Logan’s death remains intact and that Deadpool 3 respects that history.
This clarification implies that the Wolverine appearing in Deadpool 3 is from an alternate universe, aligning with the multiverse storytelling prevalent in the MCU. The latest trailer for Deadpool 3 further supports this notion, showcasing a distinct version of Wolverine sporting a classic comic book-inspired costume.
Similar to Professor Xavier’s appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, this alternate version of Wolverine signifies a departure from the Logan iteration. Deadpool encounters these alternate versions of Wolverine through the Time Variance Authority (TVA), utilizing Time Doors created by TemPads to traverse different points in space and time.
While the initial trailer for Deadpool 3 may have left fans longing for a glimpse of Wolverine’s face, the latest trailer promises ample banter between Deadpool and this long-awaited version of Wolverine. As fans eagerly anticipate the film’s release, it’s clear that Deadpool 3 will deliver on the dynamic interactions between these iconic characters.
