In a recent revelation, filmmaker Matthew Vaughn, known for directing ‘X-Men: First Class’ in the superhero film franchise, believes that the upcoming movie ‘Deadpool 3,’ starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, could serve as a much-needed revival for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which has been facing challenges in recent releases.
Vaughn, who is eagerly anticipating the release of his latest directorial venture, ‘Argylle,’ expressed excitement about the dynamic between Reynolds’ Deadpool and Jackman’s Wolverine. According to Vaughn, the interactions between the two iconic characters are “unbelievable.”
“The few snippets that I know about ‘Deadpool vs. Wolverine’—or ‘Wolverine vs. Deadpool,’ I’m sure that argument between Ryan and Hugh is happening as we speak—are unbelievable. That’s going to be the jolt… The Marvel universe is about to have a jolt of them, and it’s going to bring that body back to life. I think Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are about to save the whole Marvel Universe,” Vaughn shared on BroBible’s ‘Post Credit’ podcast.
Marvel faced setbacks with the box office performance of its 2023 releases, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania’ and ‘The Marvels,’ with the latter becoming the lowest-grossing MCU film to date.
Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman recently announced the completion of filming for ‘Deadpool 3,’ directed by Shawn Levy. The film, set before the events of 2017’s ‘Logan,’ features Reynolds reprising his role as the titular anti-hero Deadpool (Wade Wilson) and Jackman returning as the adamantium-clawed mutant Wolverine (James Howlett).
With Emma Corrin also part of the cast, ‘Deadpool 3’ is slated for release on July 26, promising an R-rated adventure that fans are eagerly anticipating.
