Confirmation of Wolverine’s return in Deadpool 3 ignited speculation about his survival after the events of Logan. However, the trailer reveals that this Wolverine is not Hugh Jackman’s original character, but rather a variant. The movie centers around Deadpool’s involvement with the Time Variance Authority (TVA), an organization tasked with hunting down multiverse variants disrupting the Sacred Timeline.
While the Loki series depicted the TVA as a force for good, Deadpool 3 suggests they are still exploiting variants. In this case, their focus is on a Wolverine variant. The Wolverine seen in the trailer differs from the one in Logan, who sacrificed himself to defeat Weapon X.
The trailer hints at Wolverine’s variant status with the line, “This Wolverine let his entire world down,” followed by scenes of him kneeling forlornly in a barren field. Though the trailer remains tight-lipped about his world-ending actions, they seem to have tarnished his reputation among his world and the TVA, leading to his initial reluctance to assist Deadpool.
The trailer also teases the possibility of multiple Wolverine variants, showing a silhouette reminiscent of the classic comic book version. This suggests that fans may encounter various iterations of the clawed hero in Deadpool & Wolverine, releasing on July 26th. Until then, anticipation reigns high as audiences eagerly await more details on Wolverine’s variant and the continuing saga of the multiverse.
