With that, Logan died from his fatal injuries, and Hugh Jackman (supposedly) moved on from his role as Wolverine – but not before Logan performed one final, heroic act where he saved Laura and the future of the mutant race.
Reynolds and Jackman released a video in September confirming that Logan, which takes place in 2029, is a "totally separate thing." Wolverine is dead and will remain dead, Reynolds said. "Logan died in Logan; not touching that," Reynolds said.
Yes, Wolverine/Logan/James Howlett, once an X-Man, now a dead man, is back. Despite officially bidding farewell to the character in 2015, and the character heroically dying in 2017's Logan, Jackman has been convinced to reprise his much-loved mutant character once again.
Reynolds announced Jackman's return via in September of 2022, followed up by a video attempting to answer how Wolverine would be back after he died at the end of Logan—but his explanation is conveniently drowned out by a Wham! track.
Wolverine was quickly resurrected, and the inventor mutant Forge even had a vat of adamantium ready to re-coat Wolverine's body with the metal once more. Essentially, the answer to whether or not Wolverine can be killed with his healing factor is yes, but it's super, super hard to achieve.
The X-Men let the world (and their enemies) think that Logan's statue was also his corpse... but Kitty Pryde used her powers of intangibility to remove Wolverine's body to be privately buried it. It truly was that body that was restored to life, and that earthly grave that Logan crawled out of to begin his return.
Wolverine's main weakness is drowning, but that was only something that he used to kill his son, Daken. While that is his main weakness, Logan has died by having all his flesh melted off his body, by suffocating in adamantium, and he even killed himself once to end a threat to the world.
Ahead of its production resuming, Marvel confirmed that Deadpool 3 will now be arriving in July 2024 rather than May 2024. It's now in the unusual position of being the only MCU movie to be released next year.
Will Deadpool 3 be a multiverse movie? Deadpool 3 is undoubtedly embracing the multiverse concept, but it's not limited to a single interconnected comic book universe. Set photos from Deadpool 3 depict our characters dismantling what was formerly referred to as the "20th Century Fox" universe.
He was never immortal. He just heals at such a rate they he's effectively immortalm however he could always be killed. Recently-ish he lost his healing factor due to adamantium poisoning. Turns out that the adamantium skeleton that he had for all these years was actually CONSTANTLY taxing his healing factor.
Following this logic, they could simply say "Deadpool 3" takes place just before Professor X's seizure killed hundreds of people, and that's why Wolverine is here alongside other characters. This tracks with what Hugh Jackman himself has said in the past.
Wolverine's daughter, X-23 aka Laura Kinney, is a relatively recent addition to Marvel's ever-changing and always-evolving X-Men lineup, and now after a Resurrection Protocol mix-up, two versions of Laura are running around the shores of Krakoa, with the older version of the character getting a permanent new codename.
Laura's appearance in Deadpool 3 would have to come from Deadpool and Wolverine visiting Logan's timeline, with that movie taking place in 2029, but Jackman has confirmed that Deadpool 3 takes place before Logan.
Meanwhile, the Adamantium was constantly poisoning his insides; Logan's healing factor initially kept the metal's toxicity in check but, as it gradually failed, the poison began overwhelming his system and killing him. Adamantium poisoning may also have turned into the cause of his healing factor's increasing failure.
He would heal from most conventional attacks to his body. He would be immune to any known virus / poison (except maybe the legacy virus). But he wouldn't be “truly” immortal. He can still be killed by enough force/energy that he might be disintegrated.
It integrates Deadpool with the MCU and is expected to retain the R-rating of the previous films, the first MCU film to have such a rating. Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Logelin joined in November 2020 as writers.
Marvel Shakes Up Phase 5 Calendar: Deadpool 3, Captain America 4 & Two Others Delayed. In light of the SAG-AFTRA strike officially concluding, several movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase 5 line-up are getting new release dates.
Deadpool 3 is currently set to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024. Sorry Wanda fans, neither The Scarlet Witch NOR Wanda-838 will be appearing in #Deadpool3.
Both former CEO of the Walt Disney Company Bob Iger and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige have stated on record that the third Deadpool film will stay true to the prior films and retain an R-rating, meaning that heavier violence and harsher language are seemingly on the table.
Deadpool 3 also sees the return of Deadpool characters Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand), Colossus (Stefan Kapicic), and Vanessa (Morena Baccarin) though Domino actress Zazie Beetz and Cable actor Josh Brolin are both out.
However, apart from the rumors, two fan-favorite characters are now confirmed to be returning. The Deadpool franchise has brought in some rather unsavory and hilarious characters, including TJ Miller's Weasel, Juggernaut, Cable (Josh Brolin), and Negasonic Teenage Warhead (Brianna Hildebrand).
Bucky ties into Wolverine's memories and when he finds him, the Winter Soldier reveals he killed his wife and unborn child on orders from his superiors. Bucky recounts killing Logan's pregnant wife Itsu in Japan.
Wolverine's healing doesn't actually work like it's shown. His healing factor will rebuild his body at an accelerated rate, but it isn't 'intelligent' enough to expel foreign material (and definitely not if a bullet was impacted directly onto his skull, like this one-in-a-million shot happens to be).
In the "Death of Wolverine" story line, a virus turns off Wolverine's healing factor. Wolverine determines that Doctor Abraham Cornelius, the founder of the Weapon X program, has placed a bounty on his head. Wolverine gets covered in adamantium after confronting him, and dies from suffocation.
