They might use the Wolverine from X-Men Days if Future Past, and not the one from Logan. Reason firstly Ryan and Huge said in a video that Logan is it’s own thing and that they are not touching it. Also in days of future past they go back in time or something so everything that takes place after 1973 or 2023 never happened. Final point in Dead-pool 2 when he goes back in time I believe he goes to the days of future past time.

Both of their careers aren't going anywhere so they decided to go to the MCU to draw up some attention for themselves. It's a disservice to the Logan storyline and ultimately takes out any stakes involved. That's the problem with multiverse stories. What's the point in investing in a character when there's another one out there to take their place. When death isn't even a stake anymore then what is there?

[@rockon609]

I’ve always wanted to see Hugh Jackmans character who is more serious meet a comedic hero, like Spiderman. Seems we will get a similar dynamic to some of my favorite comics.

[@alwaysxnever]

I'm hoping we get that Deadpool/Cable dynamic but with a tighter script like in the first film.

[@slapbass8723]

We're getting that real wolverine and Deadpool humour we get in the comics

[@Josh-si6ds]

​@@slapbass8723 Wolverine's humorous dynamic in the comics is more with Spider-Man, not Deadpool. Cable is meant to be that serious character opposite to Deadpool. That's the reason Cable and Deadpool were created in the first place, because the creator wanted to make them his own version of Wolverine and Spider-Man.

[@patburkholder]

4:23 there was a report that came out some time ago about how Marvel Studios can’t recast the X-Men characters until 2025, due to lasting contracts with the Fox X-Men cast, so even if they wanted to recast them, they couldn’t until then, so having a movie with Wolverine requires Hugh Jackman playing him, until 2025 (I thought I’d also heard that Marvel would have to wait until 2025 to even FILM a new X-Men cast, so we likely won’t see recasts on the big screen until 2026 at the earliest)

[@captainbeastwinger4940]

hmm same year secret wars releases

[@TheCowardRobertFord]

That rumor is 99,9999% likely to be false. They already had Stewart appearing in the MoM instead of McAvoy, Jackman had no no contract after Logan, and all the contracts ended after Apocalypse, with the actors coming back one more time as a favor to Kinberg. Plus, seems unlikely a movie studios would push a deal like this in that they are FORBIDDEN to use other actors for the movies, specially since Fox execs already knew about the Disney deal.

[@DrexFactor]

This. They’re clearly making the best of the Fox cast while they’re still held by contract to them. The 50 year anniversary of Wolverine’s first appearance is in 2024, so this makes about as much sense to mark that anniversary as anything could. 🤷‍♂️

I mean, Deadpool 1 has him asking the question "McAvoy or Stewart? These timelines are confusing" followed by the Apocalypse cast having a cameo in Deadpool 2...but then in the credits of Deadpool 2 he time travels back to X-Men Origins: Wolverine In reality - The Deadpool movies are about as close as you can get to "in universe parody that breaks the universe" and are just having fun, regardless of any canon or continuity. In universe, in canon - Clearly between the snap, the destruction of the stones, multiple instances of time travel, time meddling, and multiverse exploring and crossing....all of this stuff has become very intersected and very intertwined and confused, backwards and forwards in time. It is all one great big jumbled mess because so many characters in multiple realities have tinkered with times and universes so much that it has ALL been thrown out of whack. In fact...Deadpool is probably going to actively be making a ton of jokes about it. Days of Future Past had time travel, Deadpool 2 had time travel, Doctor Strange had a little bit of time tampering. Infinity War had Thanos using the power of time, space, mind, soul, power and reality to snap half of life out of existence...then he destroyed those stones, then the Avengers traveled time, then Thanos and a bunch of 2014 characters traveled back...Hulk snapped to restore everyone, Tony snapped to remove Thanos...Wanda, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange have been messing with crossing multiverses. It all adds up. It is probably legitimately the most "in canon" reason for every single re-casting, timeline inconsistency, and continuity error across the entire franchise.

[@paradoxinraindrops141]

Logan will always be the Fox X-Men swan song to me. I take this as a retired artist returning to the stage for one last show for the love of the game. Getting to see Wolverine in the costume, having Jackman play off Ryan Reynolds is worth it and it would’ve always been the great “what if” had it never come to pass. I see this as a chance to tackle the MCU fixation of multiverses but ALSO just how fucked up the Fox universe got. X-Men developed a trend for getting itself back on track always for one of the sequels to fuck up the timeline. First Class gave the series new blood after X3, Days of Futures Past brought everyone back into the fold only for Apocalypse & Dark Phoenix to shit the bed. Even New Mutants dropped the ball on the whole “John Hughes horror movie” approach. Also I’ve always enjoyed the Deadpool humor and action. I feel the stakes are lower for these films general approach than say Multiverse of Madness. So long as it’s a fun way to bridge the Fox verse into the MCU then I’m in.

I read a theory about DP3's plot and I love it. Deadpool basically kills off the Fox Marvel Universe by messing around with time travel and Wolverine from another time or dimension is hunting him. Due to Deadpool traveling back in time to kill himself from Origins and literally Ryan Reynolds, Wade is now wanted by the TVA and that's how he gets pulled into the MCU.

[@scalpingsnake]

I think the Deadpool formula adding in Jackman's Wolverine is perfect. I think the jokes and banter between these too will be so good. It does run the risk of overusing them but I don't think that detracts from movies like Logan especially when they have stated this isn't canon to that universe. It's perfect because even with it not being canon we know we are getting jokes based off it anyway because it's Deadpool xD

[@j.b.c.a.]

Having Jackman in the comic costume could be great to make fans who don't really care about comics stop thinking that Wolverine is exactly like Hugh (I know it seems contradictory, but hear me out), and just think Wolverine = Yellow & Black guy with claws, so when the MCU eventually recasts him for Earth-199999 (I'm not calling it 616, that's the comics) people will see some guy in a Yellow & Black suit and think "Hey, that's Wolverine!" instead of "Hey, that's not Hugh Jackman".

[@AlbinoJedi]

That's a good point. Lines up with how I like what the video said at the end about DP3 being used as a send off for the Fox X-Men cast since having Hugh's Wolverine would be fun but then Deadpool can explicitly say it's time to move on.

There are both. MCU and the comics are 616, they aren't connected it's not that difficult to understand.

I am absolutely with you on the orange and black costume. It might be my partiality to the burnt orange of the 80s, but the vibrant yellow always felt like one of the elements of his costume that never worked, like his whiskers that were almost immediately dropped. I don't see a downside to this, it's just 1 more movie with a duo we've wanted to see in a PROPER X-Men movie together when we already thought the character was retired, for what sounds like a final film.

I think they're doing this because Marvel is probably not going to be using their own versions of key mutants until post-Phase Six.

I know Gregor says it’s rhymes but get some different words, or beat going for Wookiee sake. Franchises are best when they are moving forward but they also do well when their characters move forward. My hope is the Ryan and Hugh will do the movie they want to do, make it that send off of the Fox era superheroes. Make fun of MCU before they own all of you.

I think the MCU wants to introduce their own X-Men pretty soon but is also busy with the multiverse saga plot for now.

Not sure if this is turning into a franchise with x men included, I dont think Hugh Jackman is planning on being in a load of new marvel movies, I'm hoping its a funny one off story like the deadpool and wolverine comics tbh

[@alesenatorephoto]

I understand why some people are hesitant about this, but i fully trust Ryan and Hugh. They have been wanting to do this for a while.

[@gundamofspitara7583]

On The Weekly Planet, Mr. Sunday Movies proposed that his ideal Deadpool 3 would be Deadpool trying to go from the Fox Universe through the real world to join the MCU, and to have Actor Hugh Jackman (not Wolverine) join him in this pursuit, possibly making it a musical. Get his help sweet talking Disney execs and whatnot. I always thought that was a brilliant idea

[@StopmotionStudios13]

Mhh might go really wrong. They kinda tried that real world angle in the latest matrix movie and it fell flat. Since its still a movie and not the real world. Creating a real feeling real world in film is really hard. Espacially because it would be zero different from the universe the movies set up minus the thing deadpool and wolverine themselves are. The real world part of the real world is already mcu cannon lets say. Would only work if you bring in characters from a more fantasical world since then the contrast is higher.

[@panpolypuff]

I have a lot of faith that Ryan and Hugh's excitement for the project is a good sign. They've both put a lot of themselves into these characters, and I think they don't reprise the roles lightly. Their irl chemistry will make some truly magical moments. I very much hope DP working his way into the MCU will help the multiverse start being a more fun and character-driven place, much akin to getting James Gunn and Taika Waititi involved.

[@username65585]

I don't think Disney can pull off Deadpool.

[@SpammytheHedgehog]

Well, what we do know is that Wolverine is gonna live in this movie.

[@melmendes4president348]

I agree that for the MCU to include mutants they should do a reboot of all the X-men. But I will admit I am excited to see Hugh return for Deadpool 3. How they will incorporate Deadpool, Wolverine, and the rest of the mutants...I have no idea. I am also curious if they will make a rated R movie as part of the MCU. But now that they have brought in the multiverse concept, continuity really doesn't matter to the story line.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

After what Disney did to HULK and THOR I'm not looking forward to see what they'll do with the rest of the X-Men

​@@firstlast9846 "Far too long 18 episode series" Yall are literally never pleased. 6-8 episodes is too short but then they make an actual serialized TV show story with a character everyone thought would be restricted by the Disney+ format and you're still whining

Really looking forward to Hugh’s return in the role, he’s so iconic in the XMen universe

[@nimz8521]

I also wanted to see a new Wolverine. Hugh Jackman did his best but only really played Wolverine once. The problem I've heard that they are having is that they can't recast anyone until 2025 or something. The Fox actors are still under contract. So they have to use characters that aren't already cast.

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

honestly i'd be worried at this point if they do ever try to remake the X-Men franchise, as much as i love it all, they're my favorite super heroes overall, but i've not been feelin' what the MCU has been doin' so not very confident they'd do them much more justice than Sony

[@gravityfalls1826]

@@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075 at least in the MCU they might focus on all of the team rather than just Wolverine and Professor x

[@professorbaxtercarelessdre1075]

@@gravityfalls1826 that's probabaly true, i just worry about who they'd cast, how it'd be written, i've heard bad things about Thor: Love and Thunder, and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, so i just don't feel confident in the direction the MCU is heaading, not saying others can't or shouldn't enjoy them i just don't feel like its for me personally anymore

[@hobermallow5841]

Crossovers and special guest stars like Wolverine are so prevalent in the comics. I like that they do it in the movies. In the comics we also had different versions of Wolverine depending on who was writing or illustrating. So I’m used to this sort of thing and just want to have some fun with it.

[@thomasr.jackson2940]

I think the current Disney model is perfect for your vision of exploring more characters. In both the Star Wars and Marvel franchises, the tv serials have been the strongest work. The movies are all about bug extravaganzas to draw a global audience, the anchor stores of the new media mall of Disney, bring an audience to a place the smaller stores/stories can survive. Small screens are the future.

[@davionwilliams4011]

This has been my main argument with my friends. I'm not UNHAPPY to see Jackman come back but the reliance on him and Fox's cast and the seemingly reluctance to let them go is the problem. The sooner we put them to rest, the sooner we can wrap our minds around the inevitable recasting of the team. Logan was a perfect send-off and whether DP3 takes place before or after or concurrently is irrelevant. In my opinion, having him come back cheapens Logan a little because we just can't let go

[@redmangoose182]

I get your frustration with sticking with the older versions of these characters, but here’s the thing: they can’t recast any of them until 2025. Reynolds and Jackman aren’t getting younger and we need a Deadpool 3 and theres no better time to make a buddy cop film with them then now. Theres so much material to make fun of and there’s already been so much off screen buildup to this epic moment.

[@TheCowardRobertFord]

"but here’s the thing: they can’t recast any of them until 2025. " That rumor is 99,9999% likely to be false. They already had Stewart appearing in the MoM instead of McAvoy, Jackman had no no contract after Logan, and all the contracts ended after Apocalypse, with the actors coming back one more time as a favor to Kinberg. Plus, seems unlikely a movie studios would push a deal like this in that they are FORBIDDEN to use other actors for the movies, specially since Fox execs already knew about the Disney deal.

[@Beldizar]

I have heard that several of the actors from First Class had contracts that said that they were the actors to portray their characters through a certain date. Disney would either have to keep using those actors, or wait until that contract expires in order to recast the key members of the X-men, and it seems like they are taking the later approach. I don't have a citation on this, and take it with a grain of salt as completely unconfirmed, but that would explain why Disney/Marvel hasn't done any X-Men reboots since acquiring 20th Century Fox.

[@GlynTaylor]

R rated too! Like we are really gonna see what those claws can really do, wow

[@jasonm2081]

Sorry..but the longer we can delay the Woke nightmare that the new movies will be the better. I expect the recastings for The Mutants to be completely terrible and the old X-Men movies will look like Oscar winners compared to the trash I expect to see in 3 or 4 years at the rate MarvelI is declining.

[@Technodreamer]

YES! Love the orange and black/brown, it's how I first saw Wolvie and remember him best!

[@puremilkgenius]

In all reality, Hugh Jackman played the actual character of Wolverine for less than 3 minutes in all the films he's done over (checks Sun Dial) the last 23 years. For the most part it was a different character with the same name.

[@alexallen9640]

I was surprised and excited about the announcement, you said some good points about the news. Although I haven't watched as much of Fox's X-men I agree that they had their run and time to start a new. 🙂👍

[@adamsinclair1959]

It feels really weird for the X-Men to be so sidelined, they used to be *the* most popular part of Marvel comics with the exception of Spider-Man. I feel like they have more classic and iconic stories to adapt than Avengers, and a much more interesting team dynamic, so I hope they can become more prominent once again.

[@mannyomega713]

oh they will trust me but its gonna take awhile say around 2025

[@Ammoniumbicarbonat]

I think they would work really well for a long running ensemble TV series, but only if it was high quality and not some CW style shit

Hey, @captainmidnight, since next Friday is the premiere of Marvel Studios’ WereWolf By Night on Disney+, I’m hoping you can do a video on it to make a point for how this special proves with how unique and fresh and different it is that it is time for the MCU to make a bold future and not rely on their formula anymore.

I feel like they’ve set up the 90s X-Men theme as a mutant leitmotif so well that Deadpool 3 basically has to use it as a joke. I feel like there will be a lot of mutant cameos, especially if they do lean into the multiverse concept, so it’ll keep happening and Deadpool will be the only one that can hear it.

[@professorobvious.5957]

I have a bunch of questions on why there doing this and i don’t know how to feel about this yet. Is it permanent thing for Jackman? (I hope not), will Deadpool pull logan from a alternate universe or will he be from his own? I really wanna see a whole new set of X-men for the coming conflicts in Kang dynasty or secret wars.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

I've seen a fair amount of speculation that because Phases 4, 5 and 6 are the multi-verse saga, the X-Men will define the next few phases after these. It would make sense that Feige is just playing around with these characters, using them as fan service until an MCU reboot of the characters comes into play. As others seem to have mentioned, there perhaps is an issue relating to the contracts of the actors playing the characters through 2025. I have no idea how true this may be, but even so, phases 7 and onwards will seem to need some big hook or theme to define them.

[@mattyboyb523]

I enjoyed the video thank you! I’m very excited for the Deadpool movie with Jacknan as Wolverine and not at all excited about the KCU holding on to the X-men of the past because I don’t think they are. This is just a one and done thing. I think Reynolds as Deadpool is beginning it’s exit anyway, I mean it’ll be another 12 years before he’s done but this might be the 2nd to last Deadpool movie. The rest will be other movies with X-men characters or even Avengers crossover stuff. But this is a perfect way to bring Jackman back without messing up a new X-men/mutants origin which includes a new actor as Wolverine. Who knows they might even do this as a multiverse movie and that’s how Deadpool gets connected with him. Going back in time or across the multiverse somehow. We’ll see. I’m confident it’ll work out. My big question is what happened to the Deadpool movie that was in preproduction with the writers of Bobs Burgers???
