Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in Deadpool 3, believe me.

Hugh Jackman would be returning as Wolverine, as Ryan Reynolds revealed the Deadpool 3 release date and confirmed yesterday.

Is the character getting a relaunch in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Will a different chronology be used for Deadpool 3?

Release day for the movie is September 6, 2024.

When Fox was still a separate business at the time the first two Deadpool films were created

the Mutants were not a part of the MCU.

In Fox's version of events, Wolverine perishes while defending the life of X-23, a clone he raises as his daughter.

It's perhaps the finest X-Men film ever, giving the beloved Canadian hero a deserved conclusion.

So, bringing Wolverine out of the afterlife and into the MCU would seem strange.

[{"selector":"#anim-1465ce00-6be1-4525-8242-d086291f7774 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(59.62919929861379%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a42ce675-a975-473f-ac94-142254164356","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(104.82574%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-445ff9d9-362b-4b04-84c6-e8f47495903d","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-76368f2d-a5b5-4b9f-a094-890b9cae5a0c","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.15)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"forwards"}] Credits: Getty Images Credits: Getty Images

But Logan takes place in 2029, as Reynolds and Jackman explain in the new trailer, and that is off-limits.

Logan's events are still considered to be canon.

But how is that possible if the MCU just disregards the primary X-Men film timeline?
