As far as their relationship is concerned, the 'Greatest Showman' star noted that both characters absolutely "hate' each other and said his character wants to be a million miles away from Reynolds' character. Sadly, he can't do that, so he found another way to tackle the situation.
"How do I categorize it? Ten being really close, zero being the reality. I’m just talking from my perspective, [Logan’s] frustrated by him, wants to be a million miles away from him or wants to punch him in the head. Unfortunately, he can’t be a million miles away from him in this movie, so I’m probably going to punch him in the head a lot," Jackman said during The Empire Film Podcast (via Comicbook).
A lot of people might be thinking about how Logan would be brought back into the MCU after his death in 'Logan'. But it is worth noticing that MCU has different timelines and superheroes now have the capabilities to travel back in time. So, 'Deadpool 3' might see Wade Wilson travelling back in time to meet Logan and work together to defeat the enemy. Before joining the movie, Jackman had made it clear that he doesn't to mess the 'Logan' timeline because it was really special for him and the fans too.
"All because of this device they have in the Marvel world of moving around timelines, now we can go back because, you know, it’s science, so I don’t have to screw with the Logan timeline, which was important to me. And I think probably to the fans too," Jackman said while talking on The Jess Cagle Show.
It will be interesting to see how they bring the character back to the big screen
'Deadpool 3' is scheduled to hit theatres November 8, 2024.
