So much was hidden in the “Deadpool & Wolverine” trailer, but one of the biggest questions raised was what kind of Wolverine are we meeting who let a whole world down? Whoever he is, it’s clear that such a failure is weighing heavily on his adamantium-bonded bones, and it might take Wade Wilson to give some tough and comedic love to snap him out of it. When he does, what better way for this Logan to show his return to form than finally picking up the mask that is noticeably absent from his attire? It will be not only a flat-out hype moment for the audience but one that’s seamlessly woven into a point in the character’s journey fans have been waiting to see ever since Hugh Jackman first popped his claws.
Admittedly, a hero saving the day one last time is a tried and tested formula, which even Jackman himself has dished out a dose of in “Logan.” At that time, the critically acclaimed James Mangold movie was considered the last time we’d see his Wolverine. Some might see it as a cheap trick to play, but it’ll undoubtedly hit if the filmmakers take this route. We’ll find out for ourselves when “Deadpool & Wolverine” slow-mo walks into theaters on July 26.
