Yes, Wolverine is Dead, But the Man Who Killed Him Doesn’t Mind Seeing Him Alive Again

Share

Yes, to answer my question from yesterday, Isn’t Wolverine dead? He is! He died in “Logan.”

But director James Mangold, who killed him, doesn’t mind that Wolverine is back and starring in “Deadpool 3” with Hugh Jackman reviving the role. He writes on Twitter:
“Oh my gosh! Everybody chill. Just kidding! I’m all good! LOGAN will always be there. Multiverse or prequel, time warp or worm hole, canon or non-canon or even without a rationale, I cannot wait to see what maddness my dear friends @VancityReynolds
and @RealHughJackman
cook up!”

The whole mashup is really brilliant. Reynolds and Jackman have this long standing funn fake feud that goes on and on. It will continue now for a year leading up to the release, on social media. By the time we get to next September, the buzz will drive the box office into the stratosphere. Great, great idea.
