Fans Upset with Hugh Jackman for Overlooking ‘Logan’ in Recent ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Comments

“Deadpool & Wolverine,” starring Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool, is the most anticipated movie of the year for many fans, finally bringing these two iconic characters together—a collaboration long awaited.

Marvel continues to tease us with new snippets and images, promising a film that’s both fun and wildly entertaining. The actors are also fueling excitement with their comments, insider info, and teasers. Naturally, Hugh Jackman is one of the most-followed figures in this context.

Jackman recently discussed the project at a fan event in China, where he praised the upcoming movie. However, his omission of a significant Wolverine film has sparked anger among some fans, who feel his comments are unjustified given the importance of that performance.

Hugh Jackman was in Shanghai discussing the upcoming movie, and naturally, he had many positive things to say about the project. However, a particular omission during his remarks sparked anger among many fans. Before delving into why, let’s first consider what Jackman said:

I thought I was finished with it seven years ago. But as soon as we came up with this idea, I knew that this was the matchup that people wanted, that I wanted, that Ryan wanted, that fans wanted. [The script contains] sides of Wolverine that I’ve never played before, and that challenged me as an actor and excited me. I feel in many ways fans of Wolverine — because of Deadpool, because of [Reynolds and Levy], are going to see a fuller, more different side to him than you’ve seen before. And that was thrilling for me, and I hope it is for you.

The experience of making the movie was also one of the greatest of my career, and I’ve been playing Wolverine for 25 years. This experience exceeded anything I’ve done before as this character — and in many other movies, in anything. I loved it. And I think it shows on the screen. You can feel the warmth. The movie has a warmth to it, and it’s funny, and it’s irreverent, and the action is crazy. But I think you can feel the friendship.

The highlighted portion sparked significant controversy, as anticipated. It’s not that Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t expected to be a great movie—it likely will be quite impressive—but fans of the character are perplexed by Hugh Jackman’s apparent oversight of Logan, still revered as one of the greatest comic book films ever made.

Jackman’s portrayal in Logan was critically acclaimed and brought a depth to the character that Deadpool & Wolverine may not achieve. This oversight has left many fans feeling disappointed and frustrated. Logan holds a special place in comic book cinema as a truly exceptional film, explaining the passionate fan reactions.

It’s possible that Jackman’s comments were primarily promotional statements rather than his genuine feelings about Wolverine movies. If you have any thoughts to share, please let us know in the comments below!
