The comic book community was almost astonished when Ryan Reynolds first disclosed on social media that Hugh Jackman would be playing Wolverine in Shawn Levy’s Deadpool 3. Though it was thought unlikely following Logan’s conclusion, there was discussion about Jackman possibly reprising his iconic role as Wolverine. It was not a huge deal either if he would not have returned, because that movie’s ending exceeded all expectations.
Deadpool 3, on the other hand, is the perfect movie for reinvigorating Jackman’s character without interfering with the 20th Century Fox X-Men universe. Even the man behind creating the character of Deadpool declared that the third flick is set to be one of the best comic book movies of all time, rivaling even the likes of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s biggest hits.
Deadpool Creator’s Surprising Opinion on Hugh Jackman’s Next Flick
Have you ever thought about whether a movie could offer the kind of jaw-dropping action set pieces that kept the audience spellbound in Captain America: The Winter Soldier? No, it’s not Avengers: Infinity War, at least, according to the Deadpool creator.
Well, look no further, as Rob Liefeld recently made a bold claim about the soon-to-be-released Hugh Jackman starrer, hinting that Deadpool 3 is not just soaring to the top of the MCU ladder but poised to redefine it.
I’ve been telling everyone how great this movie looks and it’s the BEST action since Winter Soldier. The car fight! Forest fight! The ********** fight! It’ll be up there with the best Comic Book Film of all time! pic.twitter.com/BpRxKe6KXL

With insight like the film is the “Best action since Winter Soldier” as well as morsels of excitement over the car, forest, and those censored-for-surprise fights, this is no mere boast. Liefeld’s comparison of Deadpool 3 to Captain America: The Winter Soldier is quite flattering, underscoring that the forthcoming film is one of the best movies in the MCU.
To put it mildly, it is a bold move for Liefeld to compare the two movies, given how highly The Winter Soldier has been acclaimed for its compelling plot, dramatic action scenes, and nuanced characters (see Screen Rant).
Yet, when the man who breathed life into the ‘Merc with a Mouth’ makes such a statement, it’s clear that we’re standing on the precipice of cinematic history. So, are we about to see superhero greatness unfold right before our eyes?
Marvel Bars Rob Liefeld from Talking About Deadpool 3?
Last year, Rob Liefeld, 56, disclosed that he had been asked to stop talking about the upcoming Deadpool 3 film by Marvel Studios and Disney. The studios behind the film have essentially forbidden Liefeld from talking about the third installment, he revealed, acknowledging that he has been a little too open about its development. He confessed, according to ComicBook:
“I can’t say anything about this movie as I promised Marvel and Disney. I got the call, so here I am saying nothing. I will say nothing. He tried, but I cannot say anything. There’s nothing to be said.”
Liefeld has constantly teased fans about multiple explosive cameos in the film, even though he rarely discusses specifics. In a June 2023 interview, he stated (via The Direct):
“The stuff I know, it will melt your face, alright? That’s all I’m going to say, it’ll melt your face!”
Since Liefeld went on record saying that he knew about Hugh Jackman’s return as Wolverine long before it was announced, many fans feel that he has special knowledge about the making of the movie.
Well, buckle in—Deadpool 3 is revving its engines as the film is scheduled for release on July 26, 2024.
