For some time now, there have been many hints that the third entry in the Deadpool franchise may not get a numbered entry. It made sense given that this entry wills and out from the previous entries, as Ryan Reynolds‘ take on the Merc with a Mouth will make his way to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not just that, but it’ll also see the grand return of Hugh Jackman back in the role of Wolverine, who was teased to have a major role in the sequel.
In a new video, Jackman seemingly hints at what might be the official title for the Deadpool threequel, as he explicitly references “Wolverine & Deadpool” while discussing his fear of Reynolds winning an award he’ll hold over his head throughout production. Reynolds has reacted to the video by jokingly questioning the fact that Wolverine is getting top billing.
While the title makes sense given that it was something we’ve seen in the comics s well, it’s not definite. It was confirmed that this is the third Deadpool film, which would mean his getting top billing makes the most sense. Though, Wolverine pushing him out in his own film would make for a perfect jumping-off point in their marketing strategy to mock the fact that it even happened to him.
We also shouldn’t forget that these projects go through quite a few changes once the camera starts rolling. So, who knows if they might adapt or change the title throughout its production. For now, we’ll have to wait and see what the future has in store and perhaps they’ll unveil a new logo once the camera start rolling.
