Logan Screenwriter Shocked By Deadpool & Wolverine Opening Scene

However, he had been warned…

Warning, this article contains spoilers for the intro scene of Deadpool & Wolverine

How to bring back Wolverine without distorting the end of Loganthe James Mangold film where the clawed mutant died in 2017? This was one of the major issues of Deadpool 3and now we know how Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy solved the problem. By desecrating Wolverine's grave in a crazy sequence where Wade Wilson slaughters TVA agents using pieces of his skeleton as cutting weapons!

All set to a hit by NSYNC, Justin Timberlake's boy band from his youth, with choreography provided by Nick Pauley aka Dancepool, Reynolds' dance stunt double in the film:

This totally meta and irreverent scene, in the purest spirit of Deadpool, is clearly one of the successes of Deadpool & Wolverine (which is not without its flaws), and it has undoubtedly left its mark on the audience. One of them, even more than the others. He is the co-writer of LoganMichael Green, who told IGN his viewing of the film.

Also known for his work on Green Lantern, Alien: Covenant, Blade Runner 2049 or the trilogy Hercule Poirot by Kenneth Branagh, Michael Green admits to having been somewhat disconcerted by this intro, although he had been warned of what awaited him:

“People warned me before I saw it.'Um, I don't know how you're going to take the opening of the movie.'I thought I knew what was going to happen. No, I didn't! I didn't know they would go this far.“

But the author took this approach rather well:

“You're not supposed to take it seriously that they're digging him up, that it's really him. It seems like they didn't want to change the ending of Logan, they just wanted to try to make a movie as good as Logan is in their eyes, which is a huge compliment! I found that very flattering.”

If Ryan Reynolds didn't respect Wolverine's corpse, Logan has not in fact been erased by Deadpool 3as some feared. The mutant is still dead in this universe, prompting Wade Wilson to seek out a variant willing to aid him in his mission.
