Hugh Jackman Teases "Different Sides" of Wolverine We'll See in DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE
Deadpool & Wolverine can’t get here soon enough! This is one of the most anticipated films of the year, and fans are incredibly curious to see how this wild multiverse adventure turns out.
It’s pretty crazy that it actually took this long to make a movie where Deadpool and Wolverine team up in a movie for some kind of bonkers mission. No, X-Men Origins: Wolverine does not count.
Hugh Jackman was so excited about the prospect that even though he “retired” from playing Wolverine, he had to come back for this one. Seriously, though… how do you say no to this!?
The version of Wolverine that we see in this movie is going to be different from the version previously played by Jackman. During a recent interview with Empire, Jackman teased there we will see different side of the character that we’ve never seen before.
The when talking about finally wearing the costume, the actor said: “We almost did it in The Wolverine. But from the moment I put it on here, I was like, ‘How did we never do this?’”
He added: “It looked so right, it felt so right. I was like, ‘That’s him.’ There are different sides of Wolverine we haven’t seen before in the movies.”
He shared his excitement about this saying: “It was exciting for me. It’s great for Deadpool to have someone who will punch him in the face.”
In this new story, Deadpool is recruited by the TVA to save the Sacred Timeline and he recruits Wolverine to help him with the job. This is a journey that Wolverine initially doesn’t want any part of. But after a big mutant brawl, he signs up.
In the film, “After facing some professional setbacks while going through a midlife crisis. Wade Wilson decides to officially retire Deadpool and becomes a used car salesman.
“But when his friends, family, and the whole world are at stake, Deadpool decides to bring his katanas out of retirement. He recruits an unwilling and wary Wolverine to not only fight for their survival but ultimately, their legacy."
It’s also explained: "That f–king irresponsible hero Deadpool will change the history of the MCU with Wolverine!?"
Shawn Levy is directing the movie and the confirmed cast for the movie includes Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, Emma Corrin as Cassandra Nova, Morena Baccarin and Stefan Kapicic as Vanessa and Colossus, Matthew Macfadyen as a TVA Agent, and Leslie Uggams as Blind Al.
They are joined by Brianna Hildebrand and Shioli Kutsuna, who will also return to the franchise as Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s girlfriend Yukio. It was previously confirmed that Jennifer Garner will return as Elektra in the movie.
Deadpool & Wolverine will hit theaters on July 26th!
