Kevin Feige revealed in a new interview with Empire that he initially didn’t want Hugh Jackman to reprise his role as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The Ryan Reynolds trilogy capper marks Jackman’s ninth time playing Wolverine, aka Logan, in a feature film, not including some cheeky photo cameos in the first two Deadpool movies. He last played the superhero in 2017’s Logan. James Mangold’s grim revisionist western, a significant departure from the earlier X-Men movies, ends with Wolverine’s definitive death.
