Is Wolverine part of MCU's long-term plan?
The latest teaser of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman dropped on Tuesday, showing potential inside news for the fans. Amid Deadpool's brash comedy, the teaser seemed to suggest that Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, might have a long-term stint with the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Whispers around Wolverine's longevity
In a highlighted scene from the teaser, Deadpool, portrayed by Reynolds, humorously jabs at Disney for bringing back Jackman's character, indicating that they'll continue engaging him until he's 90. This cheeky observation has made fans speculate if the studio could have extensive plans for Jackman, possibly involving the much-awaited live-action X-Men movie.
Is Hugh Jackman set for multiple MCU projects?
These developments occur amid popular norms within the MCU where stars typically undertake more than a solitary project. Major names like Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, and Scarlett Johansson have all starred in multiple films, spanning over a decade, suggesting a possibility Jackman might follow suit. Notably, Jackman is fresh on his first MCU film despite his longtime affiliation with the character from Fox.
Though Deadpool's offhand comment is not to be taken literally, it's not outside the realm of possibility for Jackman to partake in a few more MCU projects over the coming years. Despite his confessed exhaustion from playing the physically demanding part, fans can't help but dream of an extended Wolverine run.
A peek at Lady Deadpool
The key focus wasn't solely on Deadpool and Wolverine in the teaser. Lady Deadpool was introduced, unveiling some more details about her. Although it wasn't possible to positively identify the actress, her blonde hair sparked fan theories, the most plausible being that she could be played by Blake Lively, Reynolds' wife.
Although some fans persist in holding out hope for Taylor Swift's debut in the Marvel Universe, despite EW's confirmation of her non-involvement, it seems the fans' collective curiosity will only be satiated once ‘Deadpool & Wolverine' hits theaters on July 26, 2024.
In Conclusion
Known for its unpredictable plot twists and lighthearted humor, Marvel Studios continues to engage audiences with its latest teaser of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.' Be it the speculated plans for Wolverine or the mystery behind Lady Deadpool, both hint at an exciting future for the actors and the MCU. With bated breath, fans across the globe await the release of the much-anticipated film in July 2024.
