The Long-Awaited Reunion Awaited Worldwide
Wolverine and Deadpool are not only the donor and recipient of the Healing Factor, but also former mercenaries, former Team X, former Department K, and both from Canada, a number of similarities that strongly tie the two characters together. On top of that, the aforementioned film “Wolverine: X-Men Zero” further strengthens and thickens the connection in the original story.
In the story of this film, Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool, is on Team X with Wolverine, unlike in the original film. After Wolverine leaves the team, the two meet again at Alkali Lake, the home of the Weapon X project. Wade’s mouth is stitched shut, and Wolverine says to him, “You finally shut up. The climax of the film is a fight between Wade and Wolverine, who is now code-named “Weapon XI (not called Deadpool here).
However, Ryan Reynolds, who is a big comic book fan and played Deadpool, said, “That wasn’t Deadpool. I want to show the fans the Deadpool they want! He became a producer himself, gathered funds, actors, and staff, and seven years later, the first “Deadpool” movie was released. And the movie’s several meta stories that teased Wolverine, the signature of the X-Men Universe, led fans to wish for a reunion between the two. Incidentally, Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds have a deep friendship in real life (search recommended for dorky sweater).
