I’d be annoyed about yet another multiverse story with yet another cameo from a different version of the character, but given this is Deadpool, I trust it will give the worn out trend the satirical treatment it deserves.
Comment on Henry Cavill Is Playing Wolverine In Deadpool 3 | Giant Freaking Robot

Henry Cavill will appear in Deadpool & Wolverine as a multiverse variant of Wolverine. His version will be wearing a long brown coat when he shows up,
So not main wolverine, but a second, cooler wolverine.

So basically Deadpool is just Shrek but for super hero movies
ZeroTemp@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Basically yeah, and like the Shrek movies the Deadpool movies are some of the better films in the genre it is parodying.
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Kind of. Depends on what the writer wants to do. Deadpool’s versatile like that.
But generally speaking, Deadpool’s 4th wall breaking has often been used to comment on or satirize the industry. Sometimes the stories themselves become a parody.

Maybe they will introduce him as Daken, after he joins the good guys.

cooler than Hugh Jackman? Formerly Huge Jackedman? I like Cavill but he defined Wolverine for me for, what, 15 years?
deweydecibel@lemmy.world 1 year ago
15? I hate to do this to you buddy, but the original X-Men movie was 2000. Jackman has been Wolverine for 24 years.
mossy_@lemmy.world 1 year ago
that’s on me, lol, I searched for “Wolverine movie” and the internet pulled up “The Wolverine” which was not his first appearance
Neato@ttrpg.network 1 year ago
Yeah but like, brown coat.
Siethron@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Did he fight for independence in the outer rim?

Brown coat sounds Cajun to me.
AgentGrimstone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I thought Sabertooth. The movie version.

I remember when the casting was released for the original X-Men, the Fanboys were losing their mind, saying it was the worst super hero casting of all time, and how he looked nothing like Wolverine. Fan castings always aim for the exact look of a character and don’t consider acting talent, so people were originally upset that Jackman is tall, they seriously wanted an actor who was jacked and like 5’5".

Let’s be real, though, this was pre-Y2K, it was much harder to gage a fandom’s reaction to casting at the time. I don’t remember much complaints at all on the forums I was on, though I do remember Steward’s casting was celebrated.
