1. > “I said, ‘Let me give you a piece of advice, Hugh. Don’t come back,’” Feige said. “‘You had the greatest ending in history with ‘Logan.’ That’s not something we should undo.’”

   > What ultimately got Feige on board with the idea of Jackman coming back was that he would not be playing the version of Logan/Wolverine that audiences grew to love in the various X-Men movies.

   I can’t wait to see Wolverine, but I hope Disney doesn’t go back and treat all their characters this way. RDJ coming back as Tony would weaken his death.

2. The Agent: Cool, I still get my 10% bitch.

3. Apparently Ryan Reynolds is very skilled with his tongue…

4. He’s been playing Wolverine for nearly 25 years. Insane when you remember people told him not to take the role as it would “typecast him and ruin his career”.

   Looks like Hugh is laughing all the way to the bank.

5. Even if it’s a different ‘version’, his appearance still cheapens the character’s death in Logan. Everyone talked about how emotionally impactful that film was, as it felt like a touching, and permanent, goodbye to Hugh Jackman’s interpretation of this character we had watched in films over more than a decade.

   As good as the Deadpool film could be, it does throw away a lot of meaning that Logan had. The downside of the whole multiverse thing. Character’s dying mean nothing when you know they can just be brought back from another dimension.

6. Logan was a very nice ending of the character
