Hugh Jackman, writes Variety, promised fans that his return as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3 would not screw with Logan, the 2017 X-Men tentpole that brought an end to the superhero’s movie arc by killing him off.
It appears Jackman was telling the truth, as a first look at Deadpool 3 shared on Jackman and co-star Ryan Reynolds’ Instagram finds Wolverine sporting his classic yellow-and-blue costume from the comic books, Variety adds.
This appears not to be the iteration of Wolverine that Jackman previously played, as the superhero has never worn this costume on the big screen before.
Deadpool 3 is currently in production. The film is being helmed by Shawn Levy, who last directed Reynolds in Free Guy and the Netflix tentpole The Adam Project.
Not much is known about the film’s plot, but it clearly involves the multiverse as Deadpool joins the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time after a string of solo movies produced under Fox, Variety notes.
Joining Jackman and Reynolds in Deadpool 3 are returning players like Morena Baccarin and Brianna Hildebrand, plus newcomers Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen.
It’s also been confirmed that Jennifer Garner will appear as Elektra, reprising the character from Ben Affleck’s 2003 Daredevil and her own 2005 spinoff movie after a nearly 20-year hiatus, Variety adds. (IANS)
