Hugh Jackman Won't Break The Fourth Wall In MCU's Deadpool & Wolverine

With exactly a month before the much-awaited Deadpool & Wolverine hits theatres, the excitement is on top level. After a long wait, fans will finally see the epic reunion of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’s Merc with the Mouth. In terms of the official details, the plot synopsis, along with trailers and teasers, hints toward a chaotic adventure that takes Wade Wilson and Logan on a trip through the multiverse. Amid this, a lot of fan theories and teasing revelations have been making the rounds about Deadpool 3.

One such interesting detail has now been confirmed by the Logan actor. Set to don the iconic classic yellow costume, Hugh Jackman is one of the biggest X-factors of the film. In his recent conversation with Vanity Fair, the actor clarified that Logan won’t be breaking the fourth wall. While Deadpool is famously known for being the biggest fourth wall breaker, stepping out of the story to make hilarious jokes, and biting insults, it is not very common with other characters.

Wolverine Won’t Break The Fourth Wall

Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy was the one who rejected the idea. “So many actors come into a Deadpool movie and they’re like, ‘Great, I get to talk to the camera and break the fourth wall.’ We’re like, ‘No, no, no. There actually is a system here.’ And that keeps Deadpool’s tone unique to him,” she said. Joining the conversation, Ryan Reynolds mentioned that there are “very specific rules,” stating that Deadpool is the only one to do it.

“If everyone did that, then you would no longer invest in that character as much. You really want to believe that the villain is a villain. You really want to believe that your co-star’s character is true as well. Deadpool can undermine that—and does undermine that—because you don’t want the audience to take him as seriously,” he added.

Hugh Jackman also joked about how Ryan Reynolds “beautifully” describes Deadpool’s brain as a “half-baked omelette.”

Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine will be released on July 26. Besides Hugh and Reynolds, the film has Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni, and Matthew Macfadyen in significant roles.
