Shawn Levy wanted to make a direct sequel to Deadpool, but the arrival of Hugh Jackman caused unexpected changes at Marvel Studios
There are several months left until its premiere, but the expectation to see the arrival of Deadpool The Marvel Cinematic Universe is so big that even those less familiar with the franchise are curious to see what’s in store for the Merc with a Mouth at the studio. But he will not be alone, since Hugh Jackman will also play Wolverine.
However, plans to Deadpool 3 They were going to be very different from what the film is going to be today. Through an interview with the American media Entertainment Weekly, Shawn Levy reveals that before Jackman’s arrival, the third installment starring Wade Wilson was going to be radically different, focusing more on being a sequel.
“Everything changed radically the day Hugh called Ryan. We had been workshopping a lot of ideas about possible stories for a third Deadpool movie. They were story ideas that were more sequels to the first two, but none of them imagined a such a seismic change. I can safely say that the story changed completely and, in fact, it occurred to us very, very quickly from that day on.”
Levy comments that Deadpool 3 It was going to be a continuation of the story already seen in the last two installments, but with the signing of Jackman, the plans took a 180 degree turn. The arrival of the Merc with a Mouth to Disney, the arrival of Wolverine to production and other factors caused the story to turn into multiversal madness.
One of the great successes that the film has had has been, of course, to include Logan’s classic suit for Jackman. This and many other decisions fit perfectly with what Disney was looking for and, in a short time, they managed to put the pieces together to create a film that aims to be one of the most successful of Marvel Studios in its history.
