Seems Like Wolverine Steals the Spotlight in Deadpool 3, But Is It That Thrilling?
Is Hugh Jackman really gonna steal his friend's movie?
We've already witnessed Ryan Reynolds ' Deadpool and Hugh Jackman 's Wolverine together on screen, in the controversial 2009 X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Anyone who's seen the movie will agree that it was not the best attempt. Now the legendary duo will have a chance for redemption in Deadpool 3.
It was quite mind-blowing news when Ryan Reynolds announced that Hugh Jackman would be reprising his role as Wolverine in the highly anticipated third movie, now set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Now things are getting even more interesting as Rob Liefeld, the creator of Deadpool, stated in Twitter that the third installment will lean more towards being a Wolverine-centric movie than what viewers might anticipate.
So if we take Liefeld's words as a fact, significant emphasis will be placed on Hugh Jackman's Wolverine character.
If it is so, the decision appears reasonable given the widespread appeal of both the X-Men member and the actor's portrayal.
While the Deadpool franchise is known for its humor and irreverence, Deadpool 3 can seize the opportunity to explore the emotional aspects of Wolverine's character.
By highlighting Logan's vulnerabilities and addressing the weight of his past, the film can delve into profound themes such as loss, identity, and redemption.
In the movie we might also see the death of Jackman's Logan, and this time for good.
However, could enthusiasts of Deadpool potentially feel a tinge of disappointment if the upcoming installment leans more towards exploring Logan rather than focusing on Wade Wilson?
Given that Deadpool 3 was reported to be a road trip kind of movie, it is unclear how the movie will be more focused on Wolverine.
Fans shared their thoughts on Reddit, and surprisingly, very few of them are related to the news itself, rather than to the man who posted the tweet. It seems like fans take Liefeld's words with a grain of salt. Some joke that even his name has the word "lie" in it.
Rob Liefeld is known for his weird comic book art (like Captain America with an unrealistically large chest) and controversial statements.
For example, he once said that Deadpool was not inspired by Deathstroke (even though he clearly was). So it is easy to see why his words can be taken skeptically.
