Further proof Hugh is in New York.

He just saw the play PRIMA FACIE.

An entertainment journalist has tweeted that the project continues to film... but why is Hugh Jackman in New York?

This article is suggesting that filming continues but with a major disdadvantage.

What happens if the labor action from SAG-AFTRA joins the WGA strike?

Looking back -- the schedule for negotiations with the various guilds has been known as a matter of fact.

Hugh committed himself to return to the project since August 2022 and was expected to leave The Music Man in early January. Disney already has a longterm lease with Pinewood Studios ( London). Why did pre-prod take so long, knowing that there could a major stall in production activities? Hugh started -retraining for the role even when he was still in TMM.

What was holding it up and not allowing them to schedule an earlier filming date?

Was there a delay in writing the script?

Isn’t Hugh in NYC for The Tony’s tonight?

Nancy

[jo]

Is this likely? Deadpool & Wolverine movie moved up to a May 2024 release??

Based on BoxOfficeMojo release schedule for 2024 -- the date has been earmarked for a release from Disney. Marvel Studio is part of the Disney conglomerate.

[jo]

It looks like this has been confirmed by Marvel itself!

[jo]

It looks like this is confirmed by Marvel!

[jo]

It looks like it is even going ahead of the CANNES FILM FESTIVAL!

[jo]

Is this also true??

Translated from Spanish by Google:

Hugh Jackman is ready to join the work on Deadpool 3, and has shared an image with the look with which we will see Wolverine in the MCU driving fans crazy

The tweeter is referring to photos of Hugh with his grey/white beard - of which we have seen so many, especially when he was preparing for LOGAN. So, this could be highly speculative?


Jo

[jo]

Everyone's speculating on what Hugh meant by "LFG" in his most recent social media post.

Above says Hugh is saying in direct terms that we are all set for the movie with him & Deadpool ( hey, given that he said it a day or two before the change of release date from Nov to May 2024, it could very well be a hint of that forthcoming announcement).

Game players tweeted that Hugh plays video games, because he used a term familiar with gamers.

Moi - LFG means " Looking Forever Gor-jus!"

Many fans think this is the actual new Wolverine! The new Wolvie dealing with Deadpool

Hmmm... makes sense... graying Wolverine with a wicked smile ( rather than a terrifying knit-brow frown)!

The clue : Hugh's own words "LFG!!"

Jo

[jo]

Hugh is back in London!

He promise to cheer for the Aussie team in the forthcoming Cricket series...

and there is the little matter of filming a movie with Deadpool


Hurry, Hugh -- you have an earlier deadline to meet now

[jo]

The look is changing --

[jo]

[jo]

SDCC is from July 20-23, 2023.

Can't help but feel that some preliminary film work was completed or started way before actual principal photography took place. Could be why Hugh made a fast trip to London weeks before he returned to the city. Maybe for some green screen work?

Otherwise, there would be some hesitance to meet the new advanced release date of May 3, 2024.


Jo

[jo]

Because of the failure of THE FLASH to impress critics and audiences, there are speculations that the Deadpool-Wolverine project might go the same way.

[jo]

Or ask Hugh to kneel the whole time

[jo]

No Comic Con this year for MCU and Feige -- so no Deadpool/Wolverine, too.

Many rumors flying around --

variety.com/2023/film/news/indiana-jones-5-james-mangold-harrison-ford-1235650894/


James Mangold is interviewed by Variety on his approach as a filmmaker and his now more storied-career. Inevitably, there is a question on whether he is interested in film franchises.

Excerpts;


When I ask how Mangold approached making the film his own, however, he corrects me. “I wasn’t looking to make the movie my own,” he says. “I would say I was looking to have a voice.” More than practically any other film franchise in cinema history, “Indiana Jones” is inextricably associated with one filmmaker, and Mangold had no interest in changing that.

“You don’t want me doing a knockoff Steven, but I want to be playing from the same hymnal, using the same tools,” he says. “I mean, I’m pinch-hitting for Babe Ruth. I at least have to use my own swing some of the time. But the reality is, every day I’m thinking of what he would do, how he would do it. In any way I could, I wanted to do the movie in his style. It didn’t feel threatening to me at all.”

Mangold knew comparisons were inevitable, so he wasn’t exactly shocked when the premiere of “The Dial of Destiny” at the Cannes Film Festival in May drew a muted reaction from critics. “When you’re in franchise land, it’s very hard for critical thinkers” — meaning journalists — “to overlook what I’m sure their editors want, which is this business prism of how does it rate to the other ones?” he says. “I always thought if I were second or third best to one of the greatest films of all time, I’d be good. I mean, it all vaporizes later. Either the movie will live or it won’t.”

Mangold talks about this with the kind of good-natured forbearance built up over decades in the studio trenches, so I’m surprised by how animated he gets when I bring up the future of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s character, Helena Shaw, Indy’s goddaughter. Mangold and the Butterworths wrote Helena specifically for Waller-Bridge, seeing in her the same kind of pluck and resourcefulness that made Karen Allen’s Marion Ravenwood a perfect foil for Indy in “Raiders.” I ask if he has talked with Disney and Lucasfilm about the potential for Waller-Bridge to carry on the franchise. Mangold smiles and waves his hand dismissively.

“I’m not interested,” he says. “I refuse. I just can’t do it.” He gestures to the rules hovering just over his shoulder. “The amount of lore and Easter eggs and fan service starts to become antithetical to any of this stuff at a certain point. It isn’t storytelling anymore. It’s large-scale advertising.” (For her part, Kennedy says that while it’s “entirely possible” that a Helena Shaw movie could happen, “we’re not having any of those conversations right now. We’re just focused on finishing this with Harrison.”)



At the same time, Mangold seems resigned to the inevitability of the franchise economy. For instance, Hugh Jackman will return in 2024 as Wolverine in a Marvel Studios film with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool, seven years after Jackman retired the character in “Logan” — the film that earned Mangold his first Oscar nomination (for adapted screenplay). “I can’t say that there’s a part of me that doesn’t wish that we’d let it be,” he says. “But there was always going to be another Wolverine. There could be a baby Wolverine and a cartoon Wolverine. As much liquid as they can squeeze out of that rag, they’re going to try to. I don’t measure my success on a movie like ‘Logan’ with whether we ended the conversation. I ended my conversation.”

James Mangold Comments on Hugh Jackman Returning as Wolverine After Logan
By JAMIE JIRAK - June 21, 2023 04:55 pm EDT


Last year, it was announced that Hugh Jackman would be playing Wolverine once again in Deadpool 3. The actor will be joining his longtime frenemy, Ryan Reynolds, and the duo has promised that the threequel won't mess with the powerful ending of Logan. Since the news dropped, Logan director James Mangold has commented on Wolverine's return, and he recently admitted to Variety that a part of him does wish Logan had remained Jackman's final performance as the beloved superhero.

"I can't say that there's a part of me that doesn't wish that we'd let it be," Mangold shared. "But there was always going to be another Wolverine. There could be a baby Wolverine and a cartoon Wolverine. As much liquid as they can squeeze out of that rag, they're going to try to. I don't measure my success on a movie like Logan with whether we ended the conversation. I ended my conversation."



While Mangold may have mixed feelings about Jackman's return, the director did recently tell ComicBook.com about his hopes for the upcoming Deadpool threequel.


"A really fun 48 Hours style buddy picture with those two," Mangold explained in our interview for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, which you can check out above. "To me, that was always... We discussed this way back in the day, Ryan, Hugh and I, and it was always this idea that you could do some kind of Walter Hill, gritty, or Midnight Run. These two, somehow on a road trip together would be magical."

Some websites are simply quoting the seemingly negative comments from James Mangold about the return of Wolverine. Only ComicBook.com gave his comments that counteract the negative vibe of the initial comments.

I have posted the part of the ComicBook.com interview that included a more positive light on the story

Did Mangold bring up a similar & earlier project idea for them (Mangold/Jackman/Reynolds) -- when LOGAN was being planned? Or after The Wolverine but before LOGAN? 3/3
