Ryan Reynolds just stunned the world, nay, the universe… NAY… the multiverse… with a surprise announcement that Deadpool 3 finally has a release date… and a Wolverine. That’s right, after years of teasing that he and Hugh Jackman could team up for the continued adventures of the Merc With a Mouth, Reynolds just dropped a video tease that ends with the once and future Logan actor agreeing to return as the famed X-Man in Deadpool 3. And not just that, but the movie finally has a release date now too: September 6, 2024.
But what does this mean not just for Deadpool and Wolverine, but also for the MCU itself? We’ve got a bunch of burning questions about this fourth-wall-breaking news, so let’s dive in…
But Isn’t Wolverine Dead?
Yes! And no! While the great James Mangold film Logan did indeed kill off Jackman’s version of the character, let’s not forget that that movie didn’t necessarily fit into the proper Fox X-Men movies timeline. Of course, those movies always had problems with continuity to begin with, but it’s entirely possible to just consider Logan the movie as featuring what we now would refer to as a Variant version of Wolverine – in this case an older, even gruffer take on Jackman’s famous mutant. And yes, a bloodier version too.
So even though he died, we could still be getting a totally different Variant on Wolverine in Deadpool 3. Maybe it’ll be a more comics-accurate version of Old Man Logan, or maybe it’ll be the Wolverine we know from most of the other X-Men movies. Or maybe it’ll just be a brand new spin on the character, like we saw with Patrick Stewart’s Professor X in Doctor Strange 2. That version of Xavier went the ’90s animated series route, so what if Deadpool 3 also pulls from our collective nostalgia and this is how we finally get Hugh Jackman in the yellow-and-blue Wolverine costume?
Update: In fact, Reynolds and Jackman did release a second video that addresses the Logan question in part. They acknowledged that that film takes place in 2029, and said it’s a “totally separate thing” and they’re “not touching that.”
