The video starts with Fallon asking about Ryan Reynolds’ fourth child with his wife Blake Lively. The video then talks about musical films such as La La Land, Dear Evan Hansen, and, The Greatest Showman. Speaking of The Greatest Showman, the duo remembered Hugh Jackman portraying the main character in the movie, and thus, Reynolds revealed what conditions had been laid.

“Yes, yes I am very excited about it. It’s kind of amazing. Yeah he’s bringing in Wolverine. We figured out a way to do it that’s Hugh Jackman approved and Kevin Feige approved, where we’re completely protecting the legacy of ‘Logan’, the way it was left off. We wouldn’t mess with that”

said Ryan Reynolds. The condition of their agreement was that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine aka Logan should not be untouched. Reminding the audience that Logan died in the movie finale and that his legacy must be protected at all costs was demanded by Hugh Jackman. But if Logan’s dead, then how will they show him in Deadpool 3? You may ask, well, we have got a theory for that.

In the post-credit scene of Deadpool 2, Wade Wilson travels back in time to fix all of his mistakes. During one scene, when Wolverine and Deadpool had a stand-off in X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Wade Wilson appears.
Killing the mute version of Deadpool, Wolverine is left unharmed and safe. A popular fan theory suggests that with the MCU entering its multiversal phase, that’s where Wolverine will come from. Although there have been no official statements released, it has been stated multiple times that the legacy of Logan will not be spoiled.
Deadpool 3 is expected to release on 8th November 2024 while Spirited will release on 18th November 2022 on Apple TV+.
