The return of Deadpool 3 made fans wonder how the Marvel film would connect to the “Fox Marvel” timeline, especially with the events concerning Logan. Fortunately, Jackman reassured fans about the film’s canon, explaining how they’d fit in the MCU without making any changes.
In an interview with reflected on his first viewing of Deadpool and how he had ideas that he put aside because he was sure that he was done playing the iconic X-Men character.
One of Jackman’s fears was messing with the established timeline that was set during the Marvel-Fox era, especially in during their Deadpool 3 announcement video, the interview gave a bit more clarity on how that’s going to work. Jackman explained how Deadpool 3 wouldn’t “screw” with the Logan timeline — time travel or flashbacks.
Jackman believes that Marvel Studios still has some flexibility to include Wolverine in the MCU without messing with what has already been established in Logan. He hinted about the possibility of time travel thanks to “science,” like what happened in Deadpool 2, where Deadpool got the time-traveling device working again.
He also pointed out how Marvel can tell its characters’ stories through different years and events, such as Infinity War. All he cares about is to make sure that the events in Logan aren’t changed because that’s what is important to him and possibly his fans.
“All because of this device they have in the Marvel world of moving around timelines, now, we can go back because it’s ‘science. And so I don’t have to screw with the Logan timeline, which was important to me, and I think probably to the fans, too.”
Currently, in the Marvel MCU, its latest film, thanks to the Ms. Marvel finale.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to come out in theaters in 2024.
