As a result, Smith jokes that his stunt work was “terrible” this time around. Although the Logan in Deadpool & Wolverine is unlikely to be the same variant featured in Logan, Feige recently confirmed in the previously linked Empire Magazine article that the new film will reference the older one. This isn’t that surprising, given that the self-aware Deadpool series has already mentioned Logan. In 2018’s Deadpool 2, many of Wade’s fourth wall-breaking jokes are The Garfield Movie free directed at Logan, both the character and the film. Wade openly expresses his hopes for his film to match or exceed the level of critical acclaim Logan received and the musical score from Logan’s death scene is reused in a scene in which Wade himself is near death, though he ultimately survives. Feige’s comments suggest that Deadpool & Wolverine’s references will be more serious in nature, describing them as “reverential.” Perhaps hearing of his doppelgänger’s sacrifice will inspire Deadpool & Wolverine’s Logan, who is shown in the trailers to be reluctant to help Wade with his mission, to rededicate himself to heroism? A storyline like this would also connect the new film to Logan in an interesting thematic way.
“We had a really, really great stunt team,” he teases. “I still want it to be authentic, so I know how to adjust, you know, I know ‘Ehh, maybe it’s not a four punch and a flip and a run and jump over a thing.’ Maybe we take the jump out in a couple of the shots.In Logan, the X-Men are celebrated public figures and Laura and her friends read comic books about their adventures, even drawing inspiration for the plan to find sanctuary in Canada from one of the issues. Logan remarks that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga movie free the comics’ depictions of the team’s history are largely inaccurate, but they and the film’s references to the 1953 Western Shane, which both Jackman and director James Mangold noted as a stylistic and thematic influence, create a compelling subplot about the importance and inspiring power of storytelling. This aspect of the film also allows viewers to interpret the earlier entries in the X-Men franchise as more fanciful stories that could be told within Logan’s relatively grounded world. Deadpool & Wolverine may very well add to this thematic exploration and could be interpreted the same way, especially given that it, like the comics in Logan, features the character wearing versions of his famous yellow and blue costume from real-world Marvel Comics.
Either way, fans can still expect a high-octane film that delivers the thrills they have come to expect.Ultimately, even if all of Jackman and company’s assurances turn out to be false, and the new film does alter aspects of Logan’s canon, such as by resurrecting its specific iteration of the title character, Logan the film would not inherently be ruined in the way some are fearing. For proof, one just has to look at the success of another entry in the Multiverse Saga, Spider-Man: No Way Home. That film actually does directly alter the canon of its predecessors, as it transports antagonists from earlier Spider-Man films from standalone worlds, as well as their iterations of Peter Parker (played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield) into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where they interact with Tom Holland’s native Peter.
“For me, it has to stand on its own,” Smith says of returning to his Bad Boys role. “What I told myself is I would never do to the fans is make a sequel just because it would be cool to have a sequel.In the film’s climax, the three Spider-Men and their allies manage to cure the villains, removing their superpowers, which warped some of their minds, before returning them to their home universes at the same time they were extracted. This would logically lead to alternate timelines in which the earlier films concluded in very different ways, but, as the other Peters are not erased from existence, it seems their original worlds still also exist somewhere in the multiverse. More to the point, viewers continue to appreciate the old films, despite the new one providing alternative endings for some of the characters.
