Deadpool and Wolverine new posters, clip, news and is Cable returning? All the details are right here

Some fun new details about the somewhat (!) anticipated Wolverine & Deadpool movie coming this July, including three new posters, which you can enjoy with your eyes at the bottom of this page.

It turns out that the multiverse-leaping, reality-bending adventure we’re set to get later this year – they’re doing additional shoots as I type to add even more cameos – was almost a very different adventure until Marvel boss Kevin Feige turned it down. Speaking on the original plans, writer and star Ryan Reynolds told Empire Magazine: “It was a way to make a large-scale movie in a very small way… We went back to the drawing board, and I wrote up about 18 different treatments. Some of them almost like a Sundance film, a budget of under $10 million, sort of using the IP in a way that they previously hadn’t used, and I pitched bigger movies, and I pitched things in-between.”

Ryan Reynolds reveals third Deadpool movie at Fox was to feature Wolverine!

Which is interesting because, way back in 2021, Reynolds talked about what he wanted Deadpool 3 to be (before the Disney buying of 20th Century Fox), saying: “Deadpool 3 was gonna be a road trip between Deadpool and Logan. Rashomon style. For real.”

It seems that Feige had other plans and really wanted to explain why Deadpool was now in the MCU and the Multiverse stories that are currently running through the Marvel movies and TV shows, was the way to do.

Speaking of Feige, it seems he really didn’t want Jackman coming back to the role of Wolverine after the wonderful send-off he got in 2017’s Logan: “I said, ‘Let me give you a piece of advice, Hugh. Don’t come back’ [because Wolverine] had the greatest ending in history with Logan. That’s not something we should undo.”

Jackman said that he had to give it some thought after this but knew what he had to do: “I drove for another hour. Couldn’t stop thinking about it. And I got out of the car, called Ryan [Reynolds], and said, ‘Ryan, if you’ll have me, I’m in.'”

And thank goodness he did because this team-up is a dream come true for many Marvel fans.

On putting the comicbook Wolverine suit of for the movie, Jackman said: “We almost did it in The Wolverine [movie], but from the moment I put it on here, I was like, ‘How did we never do this?’ It looked so right, it felt so right. I was like, “That’s him!”

And we all know that yes, the suit was originally meant to appear in The Wolverine, left, but ultimately was kept out, in fact Logan director James Mangold addressed why we never saw the blue and yellow: “I always feel a certain contingent of fans who are yearning for it,” said Mangold. “But the biggest block I’ve had – I’m willing to take the heat for it – is that, I can never get past, being a writer for these movies as well, that Logan is the least narcissistic of all the superheroes, any kind I can think of – Marvel, DC or anywhere else.

“What I mean by that is, who puts a special branded outfit on when they do good deeds? And why? The only reason you do it is so you can have some sort of trademarked claim and get credit for what you did. Nothing seems less Wolverine-like than the desire to put on a trademarked outfit, particularly canary yellow, and kind of prance about doing good deeds and have people go, ‘Oh my God! It’s The Wolverine!’ At least the Wolverine, as I see him, that’s a real struggle for me and always has been. I somehow feel that if somehow we ever put Hugh [Jackman] into one of those outfits, people would not be happy. Essentially, it’s something that lives on the page and I’m not sure could live anywhere else.”

On the topic of the MCU, it seems that a new synopsis is hinting that the movie will see the characters interacting with events in the MCU’s earlier phases: And not only will they be working to defeat a range of villains plaguing the Marvel universe, bub, but they’ll be gate-crashing the MCU franchise, too, and putting their own R-rated, 20th Century Fox-styled twist on some of our favorite moments from Phases 1-4.

Also, in a new interview, star Josh Brolin who played Cable in Deadpool 2 (and Thanos in the MCU), was talking about his work in the Marvel universe and said ofhand: “Ryan [Reynolds] text me the other day… I said “Thanks for the work’.”

What work? It has to be Wolverine & Deadpool, right?

Did he accidentally reveal he’s back as Cable? Man, I hope so…

Oh, and while you’re here, a new clip from the movie has been released with our two titular heroes having a chat… maybe fans of Tobey Maguire’s Spider-man movies would notice a connection with where they are…
