Logan director wishes Marvel wasn't bringing Wolverine back, but sees it as inevitable

Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool and Hugh Jackman in Logan

Logan seemed like a pretty definitive end to the story of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine when it was released back in 2017, but the character is set to return in Deadpool 3 – and James Mangold, who helmed Jackman's supposed swansong, isn't so keen on the idea.

"I can’t say that there’s a part of me that doesn’t wish that we’d let it be," Mangold said in a recent interview with Variety. "But there was always going to be another Wolverine. There could be a baby Wolverine and a cartoon Wolverine. As much liquid as they can squeeze out of that rag, they’re going to try to. I don’t measure my success on a movie like Logan with whether we ended the conversation. I ended my conversation."
