MCU fans have a lot to look forward to when Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds meet in Deadpool 3, especially now that, according to Jackman, his Wolverine is coming back angrier than ever.

Ever since the two actors made the announcement that Jackman would be part of Deadpool 3, and thus Marvel Studios' radar as a whole, there’s been plenty of speculation as to how exactly Wolverine's persona will transfer to the MCU's only R-rated film. However, the Australian actor himself has clarified that he’s coming back to portray the gnarliest version of Wolverine, taking after his very last performance in the also R-rated Logan.

Jackman's comments came during a brief talk with a reporter from the Associated Press that took place at The Son's red carpet premiere, where he was naturally asked about Deadpool 3. The actor admitted that he now has a better understanding of what the Deadpool 3 script looks like for Logan and, without revealing too much, he stated that there’s no chance of Wolverine becoming soft for the MCU. In Jackman's own words, fans should expect an "angrier, acerbic, grumpy” superhero who is going to be taking a lot of shots at Ryan Reynolds, as in physical violence, instead of the verbal kind Deadpool loves so much.

At the same time, Jackman continued to express his excitement over a role he believed to have left behind, though that means he’s busy getting back in X-Men levels of fitness for the task. Besides The Son, Jackman's latest roles have seen him star in Reminiscence, as well as his ongoing part in Broadway's The Music Man. Then there's his upcoming venture in animation by starring in Justin Roiland's Koala Man.

Keeping up with their faux rivalry, Reynolds and Jackman have created a lot of buzz for Deadpool 3 already, even two years before the movie comes out, thanks to the two actors’ charismatic personalities and their impeccable marketing game. Despite recent delays in its scheduling, Marvel Studios still has Deadpool 3 as the explosive opening act to Phase Six in the Multiverse Saga right before the Fantastic Four, with the mouthy mercenary and Wolverine likely ushering in the X-Men's arrival to the MCU.

Those two films were pushed back due to problems affecting Blade's production, another movie that is arguably suited to an R-rating. However, together they make up some of the most exciting content Marvel Studios has in store for the coming years.

Deadpool 3 is scheduled for release on November 8, 2024.
