Further plot details regarding the original, Fox-backed “Deadpool 3” are minimal. In an X, formerly known as Twitter, post, franchise steward Ryan Reynolds teased what the pre-MCU version of the film could have looked like. “[…] before Disney bought Fox, ‘Deadpool 3’ was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. ‘Rashomon’ style. For real,” Reynolds shared in early 2021 before cameras began rolling on what’s now called “Deadpool & Wolverine.”
Reynolds’ post lines up with the information that Karan Soni revealed. However, it’s interesting that Reynolds’ account doesn’t mention anything about Christmas. Perhaps he was saving that bit of information for the final product? Or maybe a Christmas-themed “Deadpool 3” was a different script written sometime in the production process? Regardless, it’s great to hear that the plan was to always bring Hugh Jackman in as Wolverine for one last hurrah. When Jackman’s inclusion in “Deadpool 3” was first announced under the Marvel Studios banner, it appeared to be a cash grab, a last-ditch effort of sorts to bring the iconic mutant into the MCU for the sake of nostalgia. Now, we definitively know that it was a key part of Reynolds’ vision. Marvel Studios is eager to fold the “X-Men” batch of films into the MCU, with the threequel’s first trailer revealing the return of a villain 18 years after their debut.
“Deadpool & Wolverine” — which will reportedly feature Wolverinepool, a variant of Wolverine — hits cinemas on July 26, 2024.
