Back in September, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds effectively destroyed the internet when they casually revealed that Wolverine will appear in Deadpool 3. Given that Jackman’s clawed companion performed what was supposed to be his last swan song in 2017’s Logan, the scene was especially surprising. While the two have only provided a few hazy facts of how Wolverine is still alive, Jackman has made up for the lack of specifics by giving fans some context regarding his character’s relationship to Reynolds’ Merc with the Mouth. It seems unlikely that they will be as amiable on-screen as they are in real life.

“How should I classify it? Zero is reality, we are zero, we are opposites, and we despise each other. Ten is pretty near to zero “Regarding his friendship with Reynolds, Jackman spoke on The Empire Film Podcast. “I’m just speaking from my perspective, but [Logan] is angry with him and either wants to run away or smack him in the head. I’m going to probably smack him in the head a lot in this movie since he can’t be more than a million miles away from him.”

Although there has been widespread elation at Wolverine’s comeback, there have also been many concerns about how the X-Men character’s resurgence fits with his sad demise. Marvel’s convenient endless number of timelines seems to be the solution to this puzzle. He earlier told SiriusXM that “it’s all because of this mechanism they have in the Marvel realm of shifting about timeframes.” Now that we know it’s science, we can go back. As a result, I won’t have to alter the Logan timeline, which was crucial to me. And, I believe, to the supporters as well.
