Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie, Marvel released a couple new Deadpool and Wolverine trailers
We've all seen Hugh Jackman return as a version of Wolverine
Maybe not the original, but still amazing to see him in a more comic, accurate suit.
especially after he said that he was done playing the character after the Logan movie.
Ryan Reynolds sounds like he went full on stalker on him for a couple years.
Solid, just grinding him down with quips until they found a story that he liked enough
to actually come back for, also a really big payday.
but the big surprise here you may have read about recently, apparently Kevin
Feige of all people tried to stop Hugh Jackman from returning as Wolverine.
Normally you'd think he'd be right there
with Ryan Reynolds pestering him to come back with a big bag of cash.
What do we have here?
Hugh Jackman and Kevin Feige told the full story of what actually happened behind the scenes.
So we'll break it all down because it is pretty wild to hear how chaotic things behind the scenes are.
Marvel is every bit as crazy as you guessed for a lot of different reasons.
Of course, if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
There's a bunch of big stuff coming up.
They're going to be starting the press tour soon, so just expect more of those promos
where they're not actual trailers, they're just them actually clowning on each other.
sometimes those are even better than actual trailers.
Yeah. Don't give him too much attention.
That's why I can't be done dogs out.
Who wrote them out?
No one knows. No one ever saw that mystery.
but all the footage they've given us so far,
it gives you a pretty good idea of the story of Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine.
How this goes down.
Some of this was confirmed by what Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have said about the movie.
To This main version of Deadpool from the previous Deadpool movies starts the film after a few years.
Time jumps since the end of the last Deadpool movie, Deadpool two.
He's quit being a superhero because he feels like he's not needed anymore.
He's in the middle of having a big mid-life crisis, so he's needed to get a day job
to earn money selling used cars with Peter from Deadpool two.
Like the most schlubby thing you could possibly imagine, he's broken up with Vanessa at some point
after the events of Deadpool two, after he use cable's time travel device to save her from dying.
So generally, his life is in the crapper, It's meant to be the movie.
Clowning on the fact that Marvel Studios and Disney got the X-Men characters back, rendering all the Fox
X-Men completely useless now because Kevin Feige will eventually recast most of them.
Then the TVA shows up to arrest him, but not for creating Nexus events.
Changing the timelines with cable's time travel device.
Matthew McFadden's TBA Asian Paradox says in the movie, they don't really care about that that much.
the reason he's so important is they need him to fix the problem
that they can't solve themselves, which does seem kind of sus.
Everybody thinks that something's up with him in the trailer.
You're probably correct on that front.
but he tries to win Deadpool over
by blowing a bunch of smoke up his butt and showing him a bunch of his future accidentally,
quote unquote, where he becomes a super hero in big, Big Friends with the Avengers.
Characters.
saying that he has the potential to become one of the greatest superheroes of all time.
I'm skipping
over a lot of the stuff in the trailer footage, especially the stuff that they didn't allow online,
but I did a whole separate video about that, so I'll post a link for that at the end of this.
these are just like the opening scenes of the movie, and they're full of fourth wall breaks. I am
Marvel.
Jesus.
after calling out Disney, Kevin Feige in real life.
Also calling out Fox directly.
Deadpool super huge Wolverine fanboy confirmed.
Remember he's from the main X-Men movie timeline, so he knew all the X-Men,
even though he wasn't good friends with them.
He knew them.
he thinks Wolverine is the greatest member of the X-Men.
Somebody should tell him he needs to pick up a version of Jean gray in Phenix
form and storm both way, way more powerful.
Deadpool finds a couple versions of Wolverine while he's
looking for the perfect version of Wolverine to help him on his mission.
Like he finds Patch Wolverine here until he eventually finds this Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman.
In another universe.
part of the joke here is that he's running out of time, so he doesn't have more time
to jump around other universes and look for better versions of Wolverine.
So it's like, okay, you'll do let's go.
he's got a temp from the TVA here.
So I assume this means he either steals it or they give it to him to complete his mission, and
that's what he uses to jump around different universes looking for the perfect version of Wolverine.
and this.
Wolverine's story is really what convinced Hugh Jackman
to return when he'd previously retired from the character.
Like he was so swole for so many years.
It looks like he hadn't touched a carb for decades.
this wolverine is meant to be the opposite from his original Wolverine,
from all the X-Men movies, from Logan.
A Wolverine who's a total failure is far from being a superhero,
as you can get a Wolverine as the bartender says that everyone kind of hates on his planet
Whiskey of the claws
It's quite common in wolverines over 40.
You have to imagine how much he'd have to drink for that to actually happen,
just because of his healing factor.
Like he'd have to drink gallons of alcohol.
fun. Fact two his healing factor actually works slower with the adamantium in his body.
He's more powerful without the adamantium.
Ryan Reynolds revealed the story of the movie changed quite a bit when they were first getting started.
Kevin Feige, for instance, rejected 20 different pitches
for Deadpool three, not all of them involving Wolverine.
there was even a version of Deadpool
three that Fox was going to make back in the day before the big Disney buyout.
but it wasn't until they came up with the version of the movie you see in the trailers
that Hugh Jackman agreed to come back in.
They actually started filming,
and the thing that excited him enough to come back, besides the extra large payday.
And it is a lot, a lot of money was playing
a terrible Wolverine that, through the course of the movie, redeems himself.
Also the pure fact that it wasn't the original version that also just died in the Logan movie.
it gave him an opportunity to play a wolverine with a totally different personality
that they can take in a totally different direction during Avengers Secret Wars.
Eventually.
and it allowed them to get around the timeline.
Problem with him dying in Logan and never actually wearing the yellow suit at any point,
even though a lot of you will remember technically in the Logan
movie, during a deleted scene, he reveals to one of the kids that.
All of X-23 is comic books about his X-Men team
back in the day were real like they were biographic stories.
mean that they all wore these suits.
So technically the original Wolverine did wear a version of a comic accurate suit, just not on screen.
but when they all started working on the story of the movie, like Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman
also got to work on the story, too, with Shawn Levy, the director of the Writers.
ink wasn't totally dry on Hugh Jackman's contract yet
Kevin Feige gets involved because of course he has to sign on the dotted line
Sign all the checks, Kevin
Feige said that he actually tried to stop him from trying to come back.
Like he fully tried to pump the brakes on the movie that you see in the trailers, with them
running around together.
normally this would sound crazy because bringing Hugh Jackman back to play
an even more comic, accurate Wolverine For what looks like a mini Avengers movie.
But with the legacy X-Men actors coming back like X-Men No Way Home style, a bunch of other Fox Marvel
characters to Deadpool kills the Fox Marvel Universe sounds like a license to print money.
Like just back the dump trucks of cash up to the Marvel lot.
They have another hit. Finally.
Why would Kevin Feige try to pump the brakes on something like that?
the way that he tells it personally, he thought that the Logan movie was perfect.
Amazing arcs for all the characters.
An amazing ending. I'm in agreement.
There.
in as we've seen most long running series, most movie franchises do not have good endings.
Avengers endgame in the Logan movie are kind of exceptions in that back in that
they were meant to be the end of eras of franchises in wound up sticking the landing.
sort of like a mythic great white buffalo, like, oh my God, we actually did it.
so, Kevin Feige was trying to tell Hugh Jackman to not undo what was already perfect.
Like, you can't get better than perfect.
You can only go down from there.
And I think that's the point where they change the story of Deadpool and Wolverine
to make this Wolverine be a different version from another universe, and completely avoid
touching anything from the main X-Men timeline, which also would have trampled on the Logan movie.
when they actually started filming the movie, the story was totally different.
Apparently it was Deadpool jumping around inside the main X-Men movie timeline a bunch.
what they changed about that was to mostly shift a lot of the story
to the Void Planet from Loki avoiding the main X-Men timeline.
But that is where the main Deadpool comes from.
At the beginning of the movie, it's like he starts in the main X-Men timeline,
then eventually goes to the TVA, there's a little bit of him jumping around to
different universes, but then they wind up on the void for most of the movie.
It sounds like that's when Kevin Feige was finally on board with Hugh Jackman actually
coming back and sort of signing all these very, very big checks like, okay, fine, go ahead.
Go do your thing.
Thank you, Kevin Feige. Love you, Kevin Feige.
Thank you
MCU. Speaking of which, like I said, he rejected over 20
pitches for the new Deadpool 3 movie that Ryan Reynolds gave him
He said that one of the ideas was doing Deadpool three for under $10
million is like an ultra low budget Sundance Festival independent kind of movie.
maybe at some point he'll reveal more about what some of those other failed pitches were.
one of the other big things that convinced Hugh Jackman to come back
was they gave him a lot of creative control over his Wolverine in the movie.
He was a big part of actually working out the story of his character.
so he's not just an actor for hire.
I think he even got a producer credit.
And I think that's also how they justify giving him the extra large payday.
he's basically meant to be a co-lead in the movie with Deadpool,
not just a cameo like he's almost in the entire movie.
and it involved him also returning for Avengers Secret Wars down the road like a multi film deal.
But as far as I've seen, it's only those two movies.
apparently he's not supposed to be in the new X-Men movie that Marvel is working on
right now, like the solo X-Men film.
and if you have not been watching X-Men 97, you should definitely start right now
because it's a total banger, but it's a totally different actor playing that Wolverine.
those episodes are set in a totally different universe.
They're referring to as the 90s universe,
because all the Marvel characters from the different 90s Marvel TV shows exist.
They're together and it's still the late 90s in the present day of that universe.
that's how they get away with all the cameos without messing
with any of the timelines or continuity in the MCU movies.
speaking of cameos, I know there were a lot of questions about Deadpool showing up during X-Men 97.
At some point.
I might do a video about that sometime soon, because there've been so many cameos in the season one finale.
Is this week expecting even more cameos during that?
but everyone, let me know in the comments.
If you want to see Hugh Jackman show up as his Wolverine in other Marvel movies
besides Deadpool and Wolverine and Secret Wars.
Personally, I'm totally fine with Marvel eventually recasting a younger actor to play Wolverine
who can do it for way longer, but I'm hoping they wait until long after Secret Wars to do that.
Like just like Hugh Jackman show up in Secret Wars
with all the other people that are coming back, and then after that, you can do whatever you want.
also because they have that big Marvel reboot that they're going to be doing after Secret Wars.
So I think it'll logically make a lot more sense
why different actors show up playing some of the characters to.
real big reminder.
My X-Men 97 episode ten video will post next week after they released it.
We also just got another first look teaser for the Thunderbolts movie and what's going on
with Winter soldier in the century during that, so I'll try to do a video for that soon too.
But there's a bunch of big stuff coming up,
so be sure to enable alerts for my channel so you don't miss any of that.
