The return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine was a massive success both critically and commercially. However, his involvement raises questions about the future of the X-Men franchise within the MCU.
Hugh Jackman is an essential part of Marvel's big-screen history, so bringing him into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for Deadpool & Wolverine excited audiences. However, this decision complicates the MCU's upcoming reboot of the X-Men franchise. After all, Jackman is not only hugely popular in the role, but he is, as of yet, the only actor to portray the character in a live-action setting. The actor has played Logan in a staggering 10 films total across 24 years.
Jackman's original run as Wolverine was supposed to end in 2017 with the tragic Logan. However, though he announced his retirement before he saw costar Ryan Reynolds in 2016's Deadpool, the comedy-superhero hybrid made him want to reprise the role. Fast-forward to Marvel Studios ideating Deadpool 3, and all of the disparate elements fell into place for Jackman to return. Though all 3 Deadpool films were a financial success, Deadpool & Wolverine out-earned the first 2 by a mile. As such, it is hard to separate its overwhelming box-office returns from Jackman's immense popularity. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Return Was Great For Deadpool Audiences Were Reminded How Much They Love Hugh's Wolverine Close Aside from making a substantial profit for Marvel Studios, Jackman's return served his character and his legacy well. Though the film does defile Logan's grave, it makes the excellent creative decision of making its version of Wolverine a multiversal variant, a Logan who failed to achieve what 'our' - Jackman's original - Logan did with the X-Men. He's a new iteration of the character, but he still grapples with the weight of Wolverine's legacy in Deadpool's universe and carves out a well-done redemption arc throughout the film.
