Rob Liefeld Was as Shocked as Anybody to See Wolverine Coming Back in Deadpool 3
The Creator of Deadpool 3 shared the one thing he always wanted to see in the upcoming movie. He said that just like everyone else he has also been waiting to see Wolverine and Deadpool on screen together. He even claimed that in a meeting with Disney, he told them that they need to bring Wolverine back in Deadpool 3.
He said that if they brought back Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, it could be as big as Endgame. He said,
“And [in the meeting] I said, ‘look, what everybody wants is Hugh – Wolverine, Ryan – Deadpool, that’s it.’ I said, ‘This can be as big as Endgame.’ I just went there because why not, why not just go big, right?”
A day after the meeting, one of his insider friends told him that Hugh Jackman has officially signed up to play Wolverine again. He shared that even after he had some idea that the studio will bring him back, he was shocked when he heard the news.
How Hugh Jackman Agreed to Reprise His Role in Deadpool 3?
Hugh Jackman had earlier said that 2017 Logan would be the last time he played Wolverine. So, when Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman revealed his comeback, fans were curious about how the studio convinced the actor to reprise his role again.
Hugh Jackman has said in one of his interviews that he makes his decisions and he made this one on his own as well. “Come on! I make my own decisions,” Jackman said.
Fans believe that Jackman was the one who approached the studio for his role in the movie. While many think that Ryan Reynolds was the one who gave the studio the idea to cast Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3.
Liefeld Shares His Excitement About Deadpool 3
Even though there might not be much for Liefeld to contribute to the movie, the creator is still excited about Deadpool 3. Earlier Wolverine and Deadpool were seen together in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. However, the creator shared that their relationship in comics is so much more than that.
Wolverine and Deadpool have a very strong relationship in comics. Their adventures represent their strong relationship as they go in battle with and sometimes against each other. Liefeld expects that filmmakers would display the relationship as authentically on the big screen as it was in comics.
Well, there is no doubt that the two characters will have great chemistry on screen. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are friends in real life, and both have already given an idea about what fans can expect from the movie, in their recent videos.
As for Deadpool 3, fans still have to wait two years for the movie. But they are sure that it would be the best movie in the MCU. The film is also highly anticipated as Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are making their MCU debut with Deadpool 3. Liefeld is confident that having Jackman on board is the best decision Disney has made, and it will surely pay off with the best results.
Deadpool 3 is set to release on September 6, 2024.
