Ryan Reynolds teases Wolverine’s return in Deadpool 3
Aside from the relative success of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, Marvel Studios had its toughest year yet in 2023.
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and The Marvels were given green splats on Rotten Tomatoes, while their box office was far from the billion-dollar glory days of the MCU.
This year was supposed to see the likes of Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts and Blade hit cinemas but given the Marvel fatigue (not helped by the mountains of TV shows of varying quality), Disney has decided to pull the plug and push them back to 2025.
In what is almost a fallow year for the franchise on the big screen, all eyes are on Deadpool 3 this summer, which is clearly the studio’s hope of breathing new life into the MCU with the return of Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
After years of joking about it, the pair have finally come together in what is rumoured to be a multiverse-traversing romp and the Fox X-Men movies’ answer to Spider-Man No Way Home.

Having paused production during the writers’ strike, Reynolds and Jackman recently announced they had wrapped on Untitled Deadpool 3.
There’s no sign of the first trailer anytime soon, but a synopsis was posted by Marvel Japan this week, which read: “The irresponsible hero Deadpool will change the history of the MCU with Wolverine!?”
Furthermore, X-Men First Class director and Days of Future Past producer Matthew Vaughn has given his verdict from the footage he’s seen.

Speaking with Post Cred Pod, the Argylle director teased how incredible Deadpool 3 will be: “The few snippets that I know about Deadpool vs Wolverine — or Wolverine v. Deadpool, I’m sure that argument between Ryan and Hugh is happening as we speak — are unbelievable.
“That’s going to be the jolt… the Marvel universe is about to have a jolt of them and it’s going to bring that body back to life… I think Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are about to save the whole Marvel universe.”
