The two most influential and popular characters in Marvel movies are Robert Downey Jr.'s version of Iron Man who opened the "Marvel Cinematic Universe", and the other is the first "X-Men" member Wolverine (Hugh Jackman version) to have an independent movie.
Although most influential and popular, Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey left Marvel in succession due to the sacrifices of Wolverine and Iron Man.
Before officially leaving, the last Marvel movie starring Robert Downey Jr. was "Avengers 4" released in 2019. In the film, the role of Iron Man, played by Robert Downey Jr., in order to destroy Thanos and save the universe, finally launched a very deadly ringing finger, and he himself died due to a huge energy shock.
When Robert Downey Jr. officially left Marvel, many Iron Man fans around the world petitioned Marvel, hoping that Marvel could somehow resurrect Iron Man or let him make a cameo in a certain movie.
However, it is a pity that the petition of a large number of fans does not feel the power of the anime. Robert Downey's Iron Man Jr. hasn't been seen since.
Before officially leaving, Hugh Jackman's last Marvel movie was Wolverine 3, which was released in 2017. Set in 2029, the film tells the story of Wolverine, who has entered his twilight years, gradually losing the self-healing factor in his body, and when a mutant with similar abilities to him, Laura, appears, Wolverine decides to go out to the mountain to protect Laura.
Because of the loss of the self-healing factor, Wolverine is eventually killed by the villain after suffering major injuries because the wounds cannot heal.
Also after Wolverine's death, Hugh Jackman, who played the role, said that he would not play Wolverine again. This sentence, he has achieved for five consecutive years.
In the past five years, not only have many fans been petitioning for Hugh Jackman's return, but there is also a superstar actor who has been constantly inviting him to continue playing Wolverine in his films. The actor who gave Hugh Jackman an invitation is Deadpool's actor Ryan Reynolds.
During the filming of the first "Deadpool", Ryan Reynolds expressed his hope that Hugh Jackman would play Wolverine in the film, but Hugh Jackman did not agree at the time.
During the filming of Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynolds again issued an invitation, but he was again rejected.
As a result, fans around the world have not seen Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for five consecutive years.
However, there is a saying in China that "there is no repetition and repetition, there is no repetition and repetition". The invitation to send out twice was rejected twice, and the invitation to Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain was only "three Gu Maolu", so when Ryan Reynolds issued an invitation to Hugh Jackman for the third time, he finally agreed.
Not long ago, Ryan Reynolds, the lead actor of the "Deadpool" series, released a short video in which he said that Hugh Jackman had confirmed to join "Deadpool 3", and he also announced that the film has been scheduled for North America release on September 6, 2024.
Hugh Jackman joined "Deadpool 3" and continued to play Wolverine, which is undoubtedly good news for fans, after all the years of looking forward to finally have a result.
Regarding "Deadpool 3", in addition to the surprise of Hugh Jackman's return, there is also good news, that is, the film has been confirmed to join the "Marvel Cinematic Universe". This means that both the characters of Deadpool and Wolverine will become members of the MCU.
