Let me tell you, the MVP of Deadpool Wolverine is going to be Shawn Levy. We took our kids to all the Night At The Museum films. Real Steel, his Stranger Things movies are stellar but Deadpool Wolverine is next level for him. Every where he puts the camera and sets the shot is perfect. He’s been a successful hit film maker for 2 decades but this is gonna turn all the heads!!!

It looks like Hugh will not be wearing the Wolverine cowl/mask most of the time!

[jo]

[jo]

There is now a raging debate about the mask/cowl - on "X".

Lol!

Some want the cowl most of the time because it completes the look of Wolverine.

Many favor showing Hugh without the mask most of the time because you can see the varied expressions on his face... and with Hugh being an excellent actor, they say it makes his portrayal even more memorable.

What I wonder about -- how does Deadpool breathe well if he has that closed-off mask all the time??

Never mind the million-dollar pay, if you cannot breathe too well! Lol - I resented mask-wearing for health reasons because I always found it hard to breathe especially if you wear the N-95 type!

Some criticize Hugh Jackman for taking on another Wolverine role in Deadpool&Wolverine after LOGAN.

I have responded on "X" to some of this criticsm --

Some see HughJackman simply as an action star in the Wolverine role. I've seen him perform on many stages (film/theatre/concert orOscars/Tonys host),so memories of roles that he has delivered exceptionally well do not mar the next roles. In 2017, Logan&Showman were fine examples.

Hey, this is just a fine actor who delivers his role in an impressive manner. LOGAN was excellent because it was a very strong dramatic story delivered by HughJackman very well. I'd rather see him take on the role of a potential Wolverine variant than another unproven actor.

HughJackman did not have only 1 outstanding movie in Logan. He has also been excellent in other films like LesMiserables/Prisoners/Prestige, etc., so to me, moving on to a variation of the action genre (this time as comedic-action in D&W) will just be another showcase for HJ's talent.

HughJackman has shown his excellent acting credentials in many movies, other than Wolverine. If in his judgment, there is an aspect of the character he has played for 2 decades that would be worthwhile telling ( this time in a comedic-action version), why not let him explore it?


JoAB
@joab46466753
I am excited to explore this...
as I have been excited to see HughJackman try unexpected roles in movies & the theatre! He has once said that he likes " to take the road not taken" and maybe he wanted to explore a side of Wolverine that we have not yet seen?


JoAB
@joab46466753
Seen a movie called Deception, with HughJackman/EMcGregor/MWilliams? A look at the seedy side of Manhattan nights. This was the 1st time I had seen HJ play a smooth villain. At first I was cynical about a film hero taking on this kind of role- but he was smooth & diabolical in it!

I don't think you understand. It doesn't matter that it's not the same Wolverine. It doesn't matter that he willingly returned. The point is that Hugh Jackman gave his goodbye to playing Wolverine and it was beautiful, and him coming back cheapens that goodbye somewhat



JoAB
@joab46466753
I do not feel that way ... particularly because I have seen HughJackman portray quite a few roles magnificently. My favorite portrayal is from LesMiserables but if in a future film, he decides to take on the role of arch-enemy Javert,I would find that as another acting challenge.

[jo]

I have an interesting example.

One of my favorite musicals is Andrew Lloyd Webber's Aspects of Love. That was where I first saw Michael Ball ( original Marius in LesMiserables) perform the role of Alex. His opening number was the hit sone "Love Changes Everything".

I saw the show both in London (1989) and on Broadway ( 1990?).

Thirty-five years later, the show has been revived in London. Michael Ball is still in it...but now playing the role of the Uncle which is one of the 4 key roles ( and has many beautiful songs).

But because the song "Love Changes Everything" has always been identified with Michael Ball, the show was revised to let him sing it...and then later on in a duet with the young actor now portraying his role before! It's Michael and the song... but now under different circumstances.

I would have loved to have seen it -- and because circumstances have changed, I would not have minded the change in roles so much! But seeing an artist try on another role with some touches to the original role seems another gift to me!


We loved Hugh Jackman in LOGAN... but I am not sentimental about him reappearing in another look at the character.

Right along Hugh Jackman's alley!
He has a journalism degree & has said in the past that another occupation he likes would be to host a show like DLetterman. Hope this is not all D&W stuff...but also explores the hosting talent of the 2 actors.



JoAB
@joab46466753

And Hugh Jackman has also successfully hosted the Oscars & the Tonys in the past although those were events shows, not talk shows.

[jo]

I think many are simply reiterating what some had articulated before - herd mentatility.

Everyone will agree on Deadpool and Wolverine. But I don’t think they should have brought Hugh Jackman back, because the movie of Logan was a masterpiece and beautiful ending journey to Logan/Wolverine character….


JoAB
@joab46466753
HughJackman is the best judge on the artistic implications of his return. He's known for putting art before other motivations (his choices of The Fountain/LesMis/TheSon - all reflected how he wanted to elevate his artistry even if very difficult roles to play, esp emotionally-speaking).

All three were known not to have been as richly compensating as his Wolverine roles...but Hugh made his choice knowing the implications on his artistic pursuits. He has done rare comedies

*Kate & Leopold - romcom
*Eddie The Eagle - biopic
*Bad Education - biopic with criminal notes
*Deadpool&Wolverine - maybe comedic superhero adventure

There may be other motivations, but as he has always said, he is always motivated when presented with " a road not taken"

Adde this to my first post --

HughJackman has always said that he is always motivated when presented with " a road not taken".
This latest movie is likely a comedic superhero adventure that he likely wants to try to find out if he is as artistically-gifted with comedy?

Some parts of the TOTAL FILM cover story --



Expand your screen to facilitate reading it.

While Wolverine has a dessert-dry sense of humour compared to quip-king Deadpool, Jacobson says that '[ Hugh is]' just as funny as Ryan in this movie. It's all in an eye-roll and a little zinger here and there.

The two actors have contrasting challenges. Jackman has to perform with minimal dialogue but seems sincerely floored by what Reynolds accomplished with his face concealed. 

It is in Wolverine's character that he is economical with language and has a deadpan face - remember XMen 2 when asked about his occupation?

But I am excited to see how Hugh will deliver comedy in his own manner -- we saw it at first when Deadpool pointed the barrel of the gun at him... and actually put his forehead forward to the gun barrel! LOL!

And let us not forget how Hugh's left eyebrow has acting talent on its own, including comedy.

Jo

[jo]

Empire/People/TotalFilm must have made a killing with their issues with DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE as their cover story!

Interestingly, I find this image of Wolverine as more representative of the individualistic mutant than when he was first represented by HJ in the first XMen movie!
