While Deadpool speaks his mind without any filter and goes to fully express his thoughts with his R-rated thoughts, Wolverine on the other side is nothing but a mysterious guy. Reynolds said during their press con that the anticipated film is “accessible” enough to be seen by either his daughter who is 9 years old or his old mother who is 79 years old. It means that it is good enough to be seen by the general public regardless of their age.
Ryan Reynolds said that the movie was never written with the intention of making it as explicit as possible. He added that “it’s always been about the story and the fact that Disney and 20th century Fox were behind the two previous Deadpool movies, as well as Logan, it demonstrates that it’s always been about the ability to tell an authentic story.”
Meanwhile, director Shawn Levy said that they were not strong-armed into delivering a “wholesome” version of Deadpool. He said that, “I was never under any pressure to dilute Deadpool. I came into this production as a fan of Logan and Deadpool. Marvel and Disney understood from the very beginning that it was going to be something different. This was going to be the first R-rated MCU movie, and they supported Deadpool’s irreverently unique tone every step of the way which made it a lot of fun. It’s a big sandbox filled with mythology, heroes, and history. The blood that flows through this movie very much bears the Deadpool DNA.”
For Hugh Jackman, he said that agreeing to revive Wolverine, also known as Logan, wasn’t as easy one. He said that “I’ve been playing this character for 25 years.” This also earned him a Guinness world REcord for having the longest career as a live-action Marvel character. Hugh added that “But it’s wonderful to be back, particularly for this movie and doing it with Ryan and Shawn, who happen to be two of my best friends in the world. This is a dream project. I am so thrilled to revisit a character I didn’t think I would play again. But I embrace it with all my heart. I’ve never been happier playing the role and never been prouder of a movie where Wolverine is in than this one. I’m so excited for you to discover sides of the character we have not explored before.”
The Timeline
Resurrecting Wolverine who was brutally killed by his X-24 clone in Logan has taken some doing. Hugh Jackman explained in an interview that it is all because of this device they have in the MCU of moving around timelines. Now, he can go back because it’s science. It is impossib;e to screw with the Logan timeline.
Safe to say that in the story, Wade Wilson or Deadpool is living a life as a civilian. His days as a “morally flexible” mercenary are all in the past. But when his home world faces an existential threat, he finds himself going back to where he used to be– Deadpool. He suited up and convinced the reluctant Wolverine to help save the world again.
Thrilling Moments
Ryan Reynolds expressed his gratitude towards Deadpool by saying that, “It took me 10 years to get the first movie made. It became one of the most gratifying moments of my life when that film was widely embraced all over the world. The second movie was just like doubling down on an absolute labor of love. Then, my dream for the last six years has been to do a movie with Hugh and Shawn. It was not easy to get them to say yes to this, and it was very, very difficult to convince Marvel that this is the way to bring out these characters into the MCU, who had previously been in another universe inhabited by the X-Men. Again, it sort of reaffirms the idea that you have to stick to what you believe in, and I still feel incredibly privileged that I get to sit next to these two guys to discuss this film. And when we say we’re the closest of friends, I’m sure you folks are used to hearing most people from Hollywood claiming that.”
It is not new to everyone that Marvel has been going through a rough patch lately. Some observers are saying that “Deadpool & Wolverine” could potentially “save Marvel”. When asked if Reynolds felt any burden on their shoulders, he said “no pressure. It’s just another normal day at the office. I mean, none of that stuff is self-imposed. It’s been there since the earliest days, when Sean and I were writing this script in my apartment in New York.”
Hugh Jackman said that they are aware that moviegoers’ anticipation is through the roof. With high expectations from them, he said “But I can say this on behalf of all three of us… that no one expects more from us than we ourselves. That’s one thing we have in common.
“As someone who’s played the same character for 25 years—this being my 10th film portraying Wolverine—I know that these two, in their capacity as writers and producers, had so much of their heart and soul poured into making sure that this was a version of Wolverine that was the best yet.”
