James Mangold's comments about Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 have prompted a re-reading of Logan's meaning.
6 years after Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine was permanently retired in Logan, criticism of his Deadpool 3 return prompted by James Mangold's comments has changed the reading of the movie's ending. The X-Men berserker will make his reappearance in Ryan Reynolds' MCU sequel despite being killed at the end of 2017’s Logan. Inevitably, that news proved popular, though not with everyone.
An insightful viral tweet has thrown shade at Jackman’s Wolverine return after James Mangold admitted he wished Jackman wasn’t in Deadpool 3, no matter how inevitable it was . The Indiana Jones 5 director's comments were backed up by Sam Gavin on Twitter who pointed out the insult to Logan’s subtextual meaning about Wolverine’s legacy:
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Gavin points out that reviving Wolverine for a cynical “action figure fight” repeats Logan’s message in replacing Jackman’s Wolverine with the soulless clone. Fundamentally, the sentiment is that Deadpool 3’s use of Wolverine goes further than undoing his perfect ending: it’s an insult given the conscious framing of Logan’s swan song.
It’s understandable that Mangold would balk at the use of Wolverine so soon after his death. Logan’s story is very much one of legacy, as Gavin points out: it’s about a-near invincible man facing the grim reality of his mortality, robbed of his relationships. At the same time, Logan is literally replaced by his own clone, a humanity-less monstrosity who is an aberration next to Wolverine’s own epiphany of family.
