‘I didn’t know they would go that far’: ‘Logan’ writer reacts to the hilarious way Deadpool and Wolverine poked fun at the ending of the Hugh Jackman film
Warning: SPOILERS for Deadpool and Wolverine are ahead!
When Logan was released in 2017, it was supposed to be Hugh Jackman’s last appearance as Wolverine. Then the actor changed his mind and decided to put the adamantium claws back on for Deadpool and Wolverinethe latest Marvel movie to see it. However, to preserve LoganJackman instead played a Wolverine from another universe and his original Wolverine remained dead. The third Dead Pool The film still found a hilarious way to LoganThe ending of The Wonderful World of Yesterday is powerful, and Michael Green, who co-wrote the screenplay with directors James Mangold and Scott Frank, told us how he reacted to the scene.
First, let’s make a brief summary. When I learned that the death of Wolverine from Earth-10005, the one who Loganhas led to the death of this universe, a process that Time Variance Authority agent Paradox wanted to speed up. Ryan Reynolds’ Wade Wilson used a TemPad to travel to Wolverine’s grave in North Dakota. Wade believed all he needed to do was restart Wolverine’s healing factor so he could be revived, but when he found the buried adamantium skeleton, he realized that wasn’t possible. When TVA agents surrounded Wade at the gravesite, he killed them all with various parts of the skeleton while dancing to NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye.”
Yes, that’s a lot, and Michael Green told IGN that although he had received a vague hint that Logan addressed in Deadpool and WolverineWhen he saw the film in the cinema, he was surprised by what was unfolding before his eyes. He expressed it this way:
People had warned me in advance, “Uh, I don’t know what you’re going to think of the beginning (of Deadpool & Wolverine).” I was like, “I think I know what’s going to happen.” And I didn’t know! I didn’t know they were going to go that far.
Given the Logan was such a dramatic and emotionally heavy story, in which Patrick Stewart’s Professor X was also killed, the complete turnaround that the Deadpool and Wolverine The opening credits sequence was quite jarring, albeit in a very amusing way. Green continued by explaining why he didn’t feel that what the latest MCU entry did was disrespectful to LoganEnd of:
You shouldn’t take it seriously that they dug him up and that it was really him. It felt less like they wanted to change the ending of Logan than they were coming to terms with the fact that they didn’t want to make as good a movie as they thought Logan was, which is a huge compliment! I felt like it was nothing more than a compliment.
Michael Green also described Deadpool and Wolverine as “such a good time,” and that people in the theater where he saw it “went for everything.” He added that he appreciated Green Lantern Jokes were thrown into the third sequel, as Green co-wrote that critically and commercially underwhelming film with Greg Berlanti, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldenberg. Deadpool 2In the end credits scene of The Merc with the Big Mouth, he went back in time to kill Ryan Reynolds when he was about to Green Lantern When he first wrote the script, it’s safe to say that nothing could have topped this dig at the DC film.
