Hugh Jackman - WOLVERINE II

Or is the inclusion of other XMen characters simply a way to bring into the MCU fold these comicbook characters for any future film stories?

Hope Hugh is getting proper medical advice on regulating water intake!

*Running up the mountain at breakneck speed with claws to the ready in the finale fighting scene in LOGAN.
(PS: In real life, Hugh was supposed to have fainted because the mountain air was getting thinner and made it harder to breath - and yet he did train every dawn when he got to New Mexico where they filmed the second part of the movie)

*Running also breakneck speed ( with tall hat fully in place) as PTBarnum to catch the speeding train... while singing From Now On...to get to Charity.

*Running away from the police detectives, including falling down the hill, in SWORDFISH!

*Running away from River City after getting his "commmission from the sale of musical instruments, etc"...but stopping cold on his tracks, after realizing that Marian the Librarian has got him fully entrapped

A comment --

Look how he runs, like in the Theater.. He cuts Air with his hand to be faster.

I didn't know that.

Athletic -- in all the movies

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3’ Is a ‘Divergence’ From the ‘X-Men’ Films and ‘Something Completely New,’ Says Ryan Reynolds

Hugh Jackman has promised fans that his return as Wolverine in the upcoming “Deadpool 3” won’t screw with the previous “X-Men” timeline. In other words, Jackman’s Wolverine character arc from 2000’s “X-Men” to 2017’s “Logan” is safe from whatever will go down in the Marvel Cinematic Universe tentpole. Neither Reynolds nor Jackman have disclosed much information about the new Wolverine, but Reynolds recently told ET Canada that it diverges greatly from Jackson’s previous Wolverine.

“We’ve wanted to this this for decades…it’s weirdly the perfect time,” Reynolds said about teaming up with Jackman. “I never stopped [trying to get him to come back as Wolverine]. I was just pestering him like a gnat over the last many years. I believe in timing, as much as hard work and luck and all those intersections that are supposed to meet. Timing’s the big one. I think he was ready. I think he was excited.”


Reynolds added, “And what we pitched him was enough of a divergence from the character that he knows and the character that he’s left behind, that it gives him something completely new to play and something that he’s really excited to do.”

Jackman previously told SiriusXM that his Wolverine return was contingent on not messing with the events of “Logan,” which featured the death of the Wolverine that Jackman had played since 2000’s “X-Men.” Both fans and Jackman himself have long considered “Logan” the perfect conclusion for Wolverine.

“It’s all because of this device they have in the Marvel world of moving around timelines,” Jackman said, all but confirming the multiverse plays a factor in his return. “Now we can go back because, you know, it’s science. So, I don’t have to screw with the ‘Logan’ timeline, which was important to me. And I think probably to the fans too.”

Reynolds said as much in September shortly after Jackman’s Wolverine return was announced. The actor behind Deadpool stressed to fans, “‘Logan’ takes place in 2029. Totally separate thing. Logan died in ‘Logan.’ Not touching that.”

Jackman spoke exclusively to Variety in October about his excitement over playing Wolverine once more. “A little part of me now thinks I’d be better at it,” he said. “Is that arrogance of age or something? Wolverine’s a tortured character — more tortured than me. But I always get the feeling of him being comfortable in his own skin. And I feel more comfortable in my own skin now, even though it’s messier.”

“Deadpool 3” is gearing up for a May 2023 production start. The film is set to open in theaters on Nov. 8, 2024 from Disney.

*No decision yet on the film title?
*No indication on billing?

But this looks like a great poster for the movie --




It's the reason why the interest is sky-high, not because of the myriad other characters that are being included to fill the movie. Personally, I do not like cluttered-with-people movies. LOGAN & The Wolverine proved that!

In the accompanying article --

All we know about the film comes from a Tweet from Ryan Reynolds from January 2021-- “In case that’s not enough, before Disney bought Fox, Deadpool 3 was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style. For real.”

The fanboys really love WOLVERINE!

Is Hugh Jackman setting the pace once again?

It could be a controversial decision on Hugh's part ( especially with the death of Wolverine in LOGAN) but Hugh has always taken a path that goes against the grain!

*When his career was on the upswing (with XMen-1 & X-2), he goes to Broadway in a musical for a whole year (The Boy From Oz)
*LOGAN saw the death of Wolverine -- but here he comes back presumably as a Wolverine variant in a reunion with Deadpool.

*Known as an action star - he takes on unusual roles such as Aronofsky's The Fountain, Nolan's The Prestige & Villenueve's Prisoners

*Signing up for the film adaptation of LES MISERABLES, a sung-through dramatic musical
*Shepherding the first original film musical in over 20 years in THE GREATEST SHOWMAN

*Takes on faux-hero role in BAD EDUCATION
*Takes on serious dramatic roles in THE FRONTRUNNER & THE SON

*Goes back to Broadway for a whole year in THE MUSIC MAN
*From romantic comedy (Kate & Leopold) to dark comedy ( Bad Education). Hero to non-hero.

He's even hosted the Oscars & the Tonys.

Never hesitant to take on unusual projects. Maybe compared to the hesitance of Chris Evans, it could be because Hugh Jackman has evolved a career that tests most film genres. It is also a career that straddles between Hollywood & Broadway! He is now recognized for his talent and versatility.
