From the set of Deadpool 3 director Shawn Levy has released the first official photo of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. This will be the actor's first time back in the role since James Mangold's Logan came out in 2017. In an adventure that promises plenty of action and fun, Ryan Reynolds will reprise his role as the vigilante who doesn't take life too seriously. Even though it has never been seen in a live-action film, Jackman can be seen wearing the iconic yellow costume Logan has worn for decades in the comics.

After years of teasing a prospective collaboration, Jackman and Reynolds are finally reuniting on the big screen, and the director couldn't wait to tell the world about it on his official Instagram account. Since Wolverine hasn't been presented as a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the plot of the upcoming Deadpool film, which is now being locked away in a vault in Kevin Feige's office, may have to deal with alternate Earths. The return of Logan is not shocking in light of recent events demonstrating that anything is possible in the multiverse.

Even though it's exciting to see Wolverine return to the MCU and bare his claws for the first time, the news that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra after twenty years has been the biggest surprise surrounding the third Deadpool film.

Daredevil introduced the character, played by Ben Affleck, who donned the mask and costume of vigilante lawyer Matt Murdock to defend New York City's defenceless populace from threats too large for the average citizen to handle alone. It is not known if Affleck will return for the summer 2019 film or if Garner will be the only returning cast member.

As part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's fifth phase, Deadpool 3 is set for May 3, 2024.
