On Tuesday, actor Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool) revealed that Hugh Jackman will once again play the role of Wolverine in Deadpool 3 , announced for September 2024.
Reynolds revealed this information in a video preview of the new movie. In one of the short scenes we see him in a Deadpool costume reading a comic on the toilet. It is true that the cover of the comic is poorly visible due to the shot, but nevertheless ComicBook.com managed to identify it. It is about Wolverine (Vol. 7) # 21, written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Adam Kubert. Marvel Comics released this issue in May. You can watch a short video teaser of Deadpool 3 below:
The featured comic is the latest issue in which Wolverine joins forces with Deadpool, which is probably why the choice fell on him. It is worth mentioning that the masked mercenary himself did not receive his comic for a long time, and the new series planned with him was canceled in January 2021. However, we can still look forward to the next comic books with Deadpool at the forefront, and in the meantime, Marvel often places the outspoken anti-hero in other types of productions.
Excerpt from the comic book “Wolverine (Vol. 7) # 21. Marvel Comics
In the last material, Wade Wilson is trying hard to become a member of Krakoa – an island land belonging to mutants. The mercenary is not a mutant, but this does not stop him from trying to get into the Krakoa X-Force team .
In the aforementioned issue, Wolverine Wade and Logan team up to defeat Danger , a conscious personification of the Danger Room, the former X-Men training facility . While AI used to help mutants, today it seems to be walking its own paths. You can see the humanoid form of Danger in the above comic excerpt.
Will Deadpool the third actually be related to the comic? Probably not, the reason for using it is most likely Wolverine working with Deadpool. On the other hand, you never know.
It’s such a shame we missed D23, but we’ve been working really hard on the new Deadpool for a long time. This time I really had to find my own soul. This is Deadpool’s first appearance in the MCU, and of course it has to be special. We must remain faithful to this character, but also find its new depth and motivation, a new meaning. Every Deadpool needs to stand out and be independent. It was an amazing challenge that made me reach inside myself … And … I have nothing there. Yes … just … utter emptiness. This is terrible. But we had one idea
– Reynolds said in the video teaser.
