Hugh Jackman returns as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 with Ryan Reynolds

In an exhilarating twist that has fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe buzzing, Hugh Jackman is set to reprise his iconic role as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3, alongside Ryan Reynolds. This remarkable return marks a significant moment in superhero cinema, blending nostalgia with new horizons. Jackman, who rose to global stardom as Wolverine starting from 2000’s X-Men, had officially retired from the role with 2017’s Logan. However, Deadpool 3 brings him back, uniting him with Reynolds’ Deadpool in a full-circle moment. This reunion is especially poignant considering their shared history in the franchise. Reynolds' first portrayal of Deadpool in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine was a controversial one, but it laid the groundwork for what was to come. The first Deadpool was seen as a redemption story for Reynolds and the character, a narrative that now expands to include Jackman's Wolverine in a new light.

The significance of Hugh Jackman's return

Jackman's return is not just a coup for fans but also a testament to the enduring appeal of his portrayal of Wolverine. "From the first X-Men movie through the savage brilliance of Logan in 2017, Jackman has made Wolverine his own," stated Roy Thomas, Wolverine’s co-creator. This comeback also signifies a reunion with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, who began his career on the set of the first X-Men film. Addressing the complexities of the Marvel timeline, Ryan Reynolds humorously noted that Logan takes place in 2029 and is a separate entity, ensuring that the upcoming Deadpool 3 does not interfere with the established canon. "Logan died in Logan. Not touching that," Reynolds affirmed, clarifying the distinction between the two storylines.
