In one of the most stunning yet praised MCU reveals to date, Ryan Reynolds posted a video announcing that Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverine for Marvel Studios’ Deadpool 3<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Not only was this huge news for fans awaiting Marvel’s take on the X-Men, but two Fox-Verse characters crossing over into the MCU together, and after Jackman seemingly retired Wolverine in 2017’s logan<\/i>was a move few saw coming. <\/p>\n

While the response has been overwhelmingly positive, Jackman’s return has also raised some Multiversal questions, as well as how Marvel Studios convinced the X-Men actor to return to the role. But at its core, fans and Marvel crew alike are simply glad to get Jackman back for his moment of MCU glory – and that includes Jackman himself.<\/p>\n

How Hugh Jackman Decided to Return as Wolverine <\/h2>\n
Marvel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Uncrazed asked how Marvel Studios “convince[d]”<\/strong> him to reprise his role as Wolverine for Deadpool 3<\/i>a Jackman responded by saying, “Come on! I make my own decisions.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

The actor went on to express that everything is “all good”<\/strong> and that he’s “excited,”<\/strong> while also mimicking the Wolverine’s signature claws.<\/p>\n

While Jackman claims to have been in the power seat concerning his reprisal, the question now is just when he made this decision. <\/p>\n

Back in August 2021, the actor told Jake Hamilton of Jakes Takes that the possibility of a Multiversal crossover wasn’t “on the table,”<\/strong> believing his time with the character was “done:”<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWell, the fact, Jake, that I’m hearing about this from you and there’s nothing in my inbox from Kevin Feige means it’s probably, no matter what idea I came up with, not on the table. Let’s be clear there… I realized before we shot Logan, we got the idea, we knew what it was going to be, and I thought this is it and that really helped me. It really helped to know I was going into my last season when it was my last season, and I made the most of it. And it’s still a character I hold close to my heart, but I know it’s done.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, a month prior to giving that response, Jackman had also posted a series of posts of Wolverine and Marvel Studios-related posts on Instagram that, in retrospect, suggests his return may have been in the works back then. <\/p>\n

Did Hugh Jackman Pitch Wolverine’s Return?<\/h2>\n

Was Hugh Jackman the one who approached Marvel Studios about reprising his role? <\/p>\n

If so, that could explain his response about making his own decisions. <\/p>\n

In addition, it would explain why he didn’t have anything in his inbox from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige because, well, he was the one sending the email. <\/p>\n

It’s also worth remembering that Summer 2021 was when Loki<\/i> was on Disney+ and introducing audiences to the concept of Variants and the Multiverse ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/i>. <\/p>\n

Perhaps this series and plans for the Spider-Man<\/i> threequel paved the way for what audiences are getting with the deadpool<\/i> threequel?<\/p>\n

It’s also possible that Ryan Reynolds was the one who approached Marvel Studios, especially since his original plan for Deadpool 3<\/i> – and before Disney’s acquisition of Fox – involved a road trip with Wolverine. <\/p>\n

Given how excited Hugh Jackman appears to be about playing Wolverine, and how unique the situation is regarding Fox-Verse characters joining the MCU, audiences are sure to learn more about how this decision was made in the months and years to come. <\/p>\n

In the meantime, it’s great to know that the actor is just as hyped as the fans and that he was a determining factor in returning to his iconic role. <\/p>\n

Deadpool 3 <\/i>premieres in theaters on September 6, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
