Wade angrily counters Loganâs rebuttal by asking him of it wasnât his problem when âhis worldâ went to shit, and itâs here that things get really interesting: is this actually the Logan of the Fox continuity?
Weâve known for a while that Deadpool & Wolverine wanted to respect that the events of Jackmanâs past appearances would in some way matter to this movieâdespite the fact when we last saw him in Logan he was extremely dead. Putting aside both the fact that the continuity of Foxâs X-Men saga is almost as convoluted as anything the source material could muster, and the fact that Loganâs recovered from dying before anyway, the way people talk about Logan in this trailer definitely frames him as a Wolverine, but maybe not the exact one we saw in those films.
After Matthew MacFadyenâs mysterious TVA manager tells Wade (who has dragged Logan back to their HQ) that this Wolverine failed his world, we get a little better picture of why he was so loathed in the opening scene of the trailer. But that reality is still standing, so itâs not like he failed and let it get completely destroyed at that point. And if itâs the reality of Logan and the other Fox X-Men moviesâwhich is really confusing enough that it should be multiple timelines of continuityâwhat was the turning point on Logan given everything he went through there?
Maybe the question is not where this Wolverine is from, but whenâdid Wade manage to pluck him out of a time between the events of Loganâs back story, where in between some version of 2014 and 2028 mutantkind was nearly wiped out? Would that be enough to count as having âfailed his world?â if most humans would see the near-eradication of mutants as a selfish, cruel benefit?
