For Ryan Reynolds, Logan is “the best comic book adaptation ever made”

The headliners of Deadpool & Wolverine return to their characters’ place in Marvel’s superheroic landscape.

Promotion Deadpool & Wolverine took on enormous proportions, Ryan Reynolds And Hugh Jackman multiplying sketches and pushing advertising concepts as far as possible – this enterprise culminating in a popcorn pot modeled on the figure of Wolverine.

However, in the midst of all this excitement of content, the two actors took the time to answer the magazine’s questions Total Filmparticularly on the links that exist between their two characters, Wade Wilson/Deadpool and Logan/Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds has lent his features to his character since X-Men Origins: Wolverine, released in 2009, and in which he already crossed paths with Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine. We will have to wait until 2016 for the first film Dead Poolworn by the director Tim Miller not released in theaters, a year before the release of Logan (2017), third and final film dedicated to the clawed superhero. According to Reynolds:

“The two films were pretty consistent with each other at that point. Dead Pool was different, and right after that there was Loganwhich is potentially the best comic book adaptation ever made.”

It must be said that seen by many as the golden age of superhero films, the years 2016-2018 are among the most prolific, which saw the release of films such as Batman v Superman, Civil War, Doctor Strange, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Ragnarok or Wonder Woman, Black Panther And Deadpool 2. But it is certain that Loganled by Hugh Jackman, stands out, and remains one of the most acclaimed films of the genre.

The Australian actor, who has worn the label since the first X-Men of Bryan Singer (2000) is the first to be surprised by the longevity of his character’s popularity. He hypothesizes that it would be based on the marginality embodied by the X-Men:

“We were at the trough of the genre’s wave. It exploded with the Batman and ran out of breath a little. But when the X-Men came along, people felt like they represented the source material well by giving a voice to the misfits.”

Which did not prevent some from doubting:

“Actually, a few people in the industry, who had noses, said to me, ‘Keep auditioning because this film is dead in the bud’,” Jackman remembers.

Deadpool & Wolverine will it live up to the films that preceded it? Answer on July 24, at the cinema. In the meantime, here is the rock’n’roll trailer for the film:
