Reportedly, the Logan star went live with TikTok u/uncrazed where they posed certain questions before him on his decision to return as Wolverine. While everyone thought it was Ryan who got him into Marvel once again, Jackman made an intriguing statement that said, “I make my own decisions, brother.” However, various reports have confirmed the news that the star had been wanting this for a very long time now.

Regardless of who convinced the actor, when all is said and done, what matters is the trajectory of MCU will be finally revived. In a second video segment, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman gave a brief synopsis of the course of events. According to them, the new movie would not alter any happenings of the 2017 movie. Rather, Deadpool III will act as a prequel to the previous movie justifying the death of Logan.

In addition to that, this movie will mark the second crossover between the X-Men and the MCU. Out of all the world-saving heroes ever manifested, Wolverine/Logan has been one of the most loved characters.
