Hugh Jackman will be Wolverine again in “Deadpool 3”, which also confirms its release date

That Ryan Reynolds likes to do things in style is nothing new, but what happened on the night of Tuesday, September 27 was another level: The actor has surprisingly confirmed on his social networks that Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine in “Deadpool 3”, thus joining the MCU. In the video posted on Twitter and Instagram, Reynolds apologizes for not participating in D23, “But we’ve been working very hard on the next ‘Deadpool’ movie for a long time.”, he says and he is not joking, because we remember that the third installment of the character was not clear in 2018, in May 2020 Disney did not include him in its plans and that same year it was officially announced in November. We have been waiting ever since.

“Really, in this case I had to look for my soul. His first appearance in the MCU obviously had to be special.”Keep it up, “We have to stay true to the character, find new depth, motivation, meaning. Every Deadpool needs to stand out and stand out. It was an incredible challenge that forced me to look deep inside. And … I have nothing. Yes, I am. completely empty. And terrified. But we had an idea. “ Then Jackman appears in the background eating what appears to be an apple and Reynolds asks him: “Hey Hugh, do you want to play Wolverine one more time?”; “Yes sure Ryan”, he answers. The video ends with a cover of Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” subtitled “I will always love Hugh”, before the “Deadpool” logo is impaled on Logan’s claws.

“Hard to keep your mouth shut on this.”

“Deadpool 3” will be directed by Shawn Levy, who previously worked with Reynolds on “Free Guy” and “The Adam Project”. The film will be the official entry into Wade Wilson’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. (and now we also know James Logan) after Disney bought 20th Century Fox. It is not very clear how Wolverine will return after “Logan” ends, where the character died and the actor greeted him after 17 years of embodying him. The good thing is, as Kevin Feige says, “anything is possible in the multiverse”.

Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, responsible for the first two episodes of the saga, will also sign this and we know two other things: that it will be rated R, that is, for people over the age of 18, and its release date. In addition to Jackman’s announcement, Reynolds’ posted video ends with a date, 6 September 2024, confirming that “Deadpool 3” was the film hiding in Disney’s release schedule as “Untitled Marvel Film”.

too many emotions

Two other important people used Twitter to comment on the news, causing more or less confusion. On the one hand, the director, Levy, expressed his relief at finally hearing the news, and on the other John Krasinski directly hinted that he will be in the film:

I want to take a minute to thank you #Strange things for training me to keep my big mouth shut. This news has been burning my lips for weeks now ???

Wait … is this our movie? https://t.co/eOnGPEZZov

“Wait, is this our movie?”

Krasinski appeared in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness” as Reed Richard / Mr. Great what we thought was a cameo e In fact, he hasn’t confirmed that Disney actually chose him to star in the “Fantastic Four” episode that Marvel Studio is preparing, so all of this may be nothing more than a joke.

In any case, we will find out at the latest in September 2024 or when the full cast of “Deadpool 3” is announced. For now we will continue to enjoy the fulfilled dream which is for Jackman to get his Wolverine back, a gift that is probably due more to the long friendship he shares with Reynolds than to a question of money.
