The cup shows a new official look at Jackman in his Wolverine costume, complete with his claws.
How Is Hugh Jackman Returning in Deadpool & Wolverine?
At the moment, it is unclear exactly how Jackman’s return in Deadpool & Wolverine will be explained, especially given the character’s canonical death in 2017’s Logan. Reynolds and Jackman have already confirmed that the events of the film will not undo Logan, and Reynolds has indicated that his biggest priority is to deliver a quality story.
“I always wanted Hugh to come back,” Reynolds explainedย in a previous interview withย Collider.ย “My first meeting with Kevin Feige when Disney bought Fox years ago, maybe three years ago, or three and a half, four years ago, I’m not sure, was about doing a movie with the two of us, a Deadpool Wolverine movie. And that was not possible at the time. And then Hugh just happened to call at that perfect moment and express that he’d be interested in coming back and doing this one more time. And the contents of that conversation, I’ll let Hugh, because I know it’s only inevitable that you and Hugh are going to speak at some point soon, I’m sure. I’ll let Hugh answer that on his own. But he expressed interest in coming back, and then it was my job to take that to Kevin Feige one more time and sell it.”
