While superheroes still reign supreme, fans eagerly awaited the unlikely pairing of Deadpool and Wolverine on the big screen. However, those hoping to see Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine break the fourth wall alongside the Merc with a Mouth are in for a disappointment.Ryan Reynolds, the man behind the red suit, recently shed some light on why only Deadpool gets to chat directly with the audience. According to Reynolds, there are “very specific rules” in play. He emphasized that allowing every character to break the fourth wall would diminish the stakes in the film. After all, you can’t have everyone in on the joke if you want the audience to take the villains seriously.

“Deadpool is the only character who has that ability,” Reynolds explained in an interview with Vanity Fair. “If everyone did that, then you would no longer invest in that character as much. You really want to believe that the villain is a villain… Deadpool can undermine that – and does undermine that – because you don’t want the audience to take him as seriously.”

In a hilarious twist, Jackman chimed in during the conversation, likening Deadpool’s brain to “a half-baked omelet.” He jokingly shared, “And so, whatever he’s doing – talking to a camera, to Wolverine – it’s just another layer of annoying crap that I’ve got to put up with.”

While Wolverine won’t get to join the fourth wall-breaking fun, director Shawn Levy assures fans that Jackman’s performance will add a gravitas and raw soulfulness to the film. Levy hinted at the unconventional pairing of Wolverine and Deadpool as a game-changer for the movie, promising a unique and thrilling experience for the audience.

As for plot details, the story is set six years after the last Deadpool movie, with the Merc with a Mouth teaming up with a Wolverine variant to save the universe. And don’t worry if you’ve missed a few X-Men movies—the film stands on its own, according to Levy.

Looking ahead, box office projections suggest that Deadpool & Wolverine could rake in between $200 million and $239 million during its opening weekend. So mark your calendars for July 26, 2024, when this dynamic duo hits theaters worldwide.
