Ryan Reynolds’ Bold Attempt WithLoganStoryline Could’ve Went Horribly Wrong
One major question Marvel fans had in mind beforeDeadpool & Wolverinewas how the film would bring backHugh Jackmanwithout ruiningLogan.

When TVA agents find him there, he goes on a killing spree using dead Logan’s bones as a weapon. The character gives a fourth-wall-breaking monologue before digging out the body, sharing,“How are we going to do this without dishonoring Logan’s memory? We’re not.”The whole scene was super entertaining to watch in theaters, but it was definitely a bold attempt.
It could have gone wrong in many ways and would’ve rubbed the FoxX-MenUniverse fans the wrong way. When it became a topic of discussion on X, many fans shared that the opening sequence was hilarious. Many Marvel fans were glad that the scene worked and were impressed with how the film tackled theLoganissue right off the bat.
Fans also recalled Reynolds’ promise thatLogan would remain deadin the film. They couldn’t help but laugh at how the film went the extra mile to ensure that he was indeed dead. Fans agreed that the scene didn’t come off as disrespectful. Some of the fan reactions read:
Tbh I liked how they just went there right off the bat.That took balls. I’m glad it worked out the way it did. The opening sequence was hilarious.
They went extra miles to assure Logan is fully dead lol I respect that
I didnt expect the snow section in the trailer to be logans grave💀 i thought it was the bit from the start of age of ultron
I honestly didn’t expect the Logan character to pop up in it at all, unless they brought that variant back to life.But no, they went fully with that combat scene; it was great, especially when Deadpool did the Wolverine stance with the claws; that was perfect.Total fan…
Agreed I laughed my ass off at Logan’s Skelton just being there it took guts
Deadpool & Wolverinewent on to set the record for thehighest box office opening for an R-rated film. According toTHR, the film made $205 at its domestic box office and $233 million internationally on its debut. According toDeadline‘s latest reports, the film has collected $590.5 million worldwide.

Reynolds jumped in and answered thatLoganwas a separate thing and that Jackman’s character died in the film. The actor promised fans thatDeadpool 3wouldn’t do anything to reverse Logan’s death in the film. Reynolds shared:
Logan takes place in 2029. Totally separate thing. Logan died in Logan, not touching that.
