Back in September, Hugh Jackman announced he’ll be back as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 and the more we learn about his comeback, the more excited we are! The Australian actor recently shared some exciting details about this project, saying that Wolverine and Deadpool will hate each other in the new film.

Jackman recently discussed this project with the Empire Film Podcast. One of the questions that came up was the nature of the relationship between the two beloved superheroes, and it turns out they won’t be on the best of terms in the beginning.

“How do I categorize it? Ten being really close, zero being the reality, we’re zero, we’re opposites, hate each other. I’m just talking from my perspective, [Logan’s] frustrated by him, wants to be a million miles away from him, or wants to punch him in the head,” said Jackman.

Jackman’s casting had fans worried that his role in Deadpool 3 will mess up the timeline established by the last Wolverine movie Logan. The actor assured fans there’s nothing to worry about due to Marvel’s focus on the multiverse, which makes it easy to bring the old characters back.

Deadpool 3 will be released on November 8, 2024 and it will see Ryan Reynolds return to the titular role.
