After more than two decades of playing Wolverine, Hugh Jackman is set to reprise his role as the iconic X-Men hero in Deadpool 3. The long-awaited moment was unveiled in an epic new photo shared by Ryan Reynolds on July 10. The image features Hugh Jackman donning Wolverine’s famous blue and yellow suit from the X-Men comic books, while Reynolds appears as Deadpool in their character suits.
The rumors surrounding Wolverine’s suit in the upcoming Deadpool installment have now been confirmed. Hugh Jackman will be returning as Logan/Wolverine in the highly anticipated film, scheduled for release on May 3, 2024. Although Wolverine met his demise in the 2017 film Logan, Reynolds and Jackman assured fans that Deadpool 3 will not undo the character’s passing, as the new movie exists as a separate entity.
During an appearance on the Empire Film Podcast in December 2022, Hugh Jackman revealed that the dynamic between Deadpool and Wolverine in the third film is one of mutual animosity. The actor explained that the characters “hate each other” and emphasized Wolverine’s frustration and desire to distance himself from Deadpool. Their on-screen relationship is expected to be filled with confrontations and intense interactions.
Additionally, Deadpool 3 will mark the return of Jennifer Garner as Elektra, a character she previously portrayed in the 2003 film Daredevil and its spin-off, Elektra. The casting news, revealed by The Hollywood Reporter on July 7, has generated further excitement among fans. The film also features Matthew MacFadyen from Succession and Emma Corrin from The Crown. Notably, Deadpool 3 will be the first installment in the franchise set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
As fans eagerly anticipate the release of Deadpool 3, the photo of Hugh Jackman in Wolverine’s iconic suit serves as a thrilling teaser, igniting anticipation for the highly anticipated crossover film.
