Kevin Feige Originally Told Hugh Jackman ‘Don’t Come Back’ as Wolverine, Rejected Ryan Reynolds’ First ‘Deadpool 3’ Pitch for ‘Rashomon’-Style Film
Kevin Feige told Hugh Jackman not to return as Wolverine in "Deadpool 3" and turned down Ryan Reynolds' first pitch to make a "Rashomon" movie.
It might come as a surprise, but Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed to Empire that he originally warned Jackman against playing Wolverine again. 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. Feige not only warned Jackman at first not to return as Wolverine, but he also told Empire that he rejected Ryan Reynolds’ original pitch for a third “Deadpool” movie as the two were figuring out the best way to introduce the character into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following Disney’s acquisition of Fox.
