Jackman could return to Deadpool & Wolverine

The Deadpool and Wolverine The press tour has begun and Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Shawn Levy and Co. are traveling to China, Korea and Germany to promote the highly anticipated Deadpool and Wolverine ahead of the July 26th release date. Marvel shows some footage from the film at these big events. So we got confirmation of a major cameo in the film.

The hype for this long-awaited MCU movie continues to grow and I can’t wait to see Deadpool and Wolverine save the multiverse. The teasers are not enough. I hope this is not the last time we see these two actors in the same Marvel adventure.

I hope Jackman stays with us after Deadpool 3. Because of course Deadpool will also appear in the upcoming Marvel films. That’s the point of this sequel. Deadpool has to cross the multiverse, leave his world behind and join the MCU.

After some rumors that we would see more of Wolverine in Avengers: Secret Warsa Marvel insider suggests Jackman isn’t going anywhere. Before we investigate the exciting new rumor, let me warn you: Some spoilers may follow below.

Marvel insider Daniel Richtman posted the following rather cryptic teaser for X:

“It looks like Hugh Jackman is sticking around for a bit,” he said, without giving us any further details. Any Marvel fan familiar with rumors knows that Secret Wars Leaks claimed that Marvel wants as many superheroes from non-MCU movies to help the Avengers as possible. Wolverine is definitely on that list.

A few months ago, another insider said that Jackman told Marvel he would return as Wolverine for Secret Wars if he could interact with Tobey Maguire and Robert Downey Jr. Although this rumor cannot be confirmed at this time, it is currently everyone’s dream to see Wolverine, Maguire Spider-Man and Iron Man in the same scene.

But how can Marvel do this? Remember that Jackman always said he didn’t want to return to his lover X-Men Role, considering what happened to his character in Logan.

Deadpool 3 shows another Wolverine

I have repeatedly explained why Deadpool and Wolverine must be a multiverse film. This is the only way Marvel can bring the Deadpool variant we have seen in Fox’s films into the MCU. The same goes for Jackman’s Wolverine and all the alleged X-Men Cameos we supposedly get Deadpool 3.

We knew Deadpool 3 was going to be a multiverse movie, even before the huge bombshell dropped that Wolverine would appear in the sequel. Soon after, we learned that Wolverine won’t just be fanservice. He’ll be a co-protagonist, sharing the screen with the Merc with a Mouth.

Recently we also learned a big detail about how Wolverine can return, even though he was in Logan. After months of speculation, we now know which Wolverine we are getting Deadpool 3 is not the same as the one who dies in the Fox movies. He may look exactly like that one, but that’s all.

As a beleaguered Mr. Paradox (Matthew Macfadyen) tells us in the clip above, this Wolverine has disappointed his entire universe. This Wolverine doesn’t sound like the Wolverine from the Fox movies.

This is an important development for the Deadpool 3 character and a great way for Marvel to avoid a headache. If the TVA were to select the Fox Wolverine from the reality where Logan dies, they would have to do so before his death. Then the TVA would have to put Wolverine back on his predestined path.

But this is Loki’s (Tom Hiddleston) TVA, an agency no longer concerned with protecting sacred timelines and pruning others, so why should Wolverine’s path already be decided?

And what happens if Wolverine dies on this mission with Deadpool? It seems impossible, but it’s a theoretical risk.

What I am trying to say is that it is much easier to just take a version of Wolverine that looks and feels familiar without having to LoganThis is how Marvel could handle the return of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.). Secret WarsBut I digress.

Back to Wolverine, the way he comes into the MCU allows Marvel to keep him here rather than bringing him back. Marvel can use the character for more than just one movie, assuming Jackman wants more Wolverine in his life. Considering what we’re seeing from the press tour, it looks like Jackman is having the time of his life with Reynolds, so he could return at any time.

As far as this Wolverine’s character arc is concerned, he clearly has some redemption to make. The events in Deadpool 3 will give Wolverine a taste of what it feels like to save universes. He could get a purpose and a bigger mission. Like helping the Avengers in Secret Wars Defeat a giant villain.

And if Richtman’s claim is true, it’s very likely that this version of Wolverine will survive the coming events. Not that Marvel would kill the character off again anytime soon.
