As a massive fan of both Deadpool and Wolverine, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming film, Deadpool & Wolverine. The latest news about a deleted musical number featuring Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine singing an Elton John ballad leaves me feeling both disappointed and intrigued.
Ryan Reynolds shared an intriguing piece of information during the Deadpool & Wolverine press tour. Although the upcoming MCU film is anticipated to be the wildest one yet, Reynolds disclosed that there was once a deleted scene featuring Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine showing his sensitive side through a musical number. Elton John’s classic ballad was reportedly the song of choice for this scene. However, this heartfelt moment won’t be seen in the movie when it releases on July 26.
Reynolds has often praised Jackman for his singing talents, with the X-Men star boasting a prosperous stage career. He’s graced musicals such as “Oklahoma!,” “Carousel,” and “The Music Man” onstage, and even showcased himself in a one-person Broadway production. A tweet from Film Updates hinted that Jackman almost showcased his vocal abilities in “Deadpool & Wolverine,” singing Elton John’s “I Guess Why They Call it the Blues.” Unfortunately, this potential family-friendly scene never made it past the filming stage in the otherwise R-rated movie.
At the same Q&A session, Jackman shared an intriguing rumor he had come across regarding the film, which seems plausible considering the movie’s unique style. Surprisingly enough, this unverified tale aligned closely with the previously cut song mentioned earlier. In the following video, Jackman disclosed this fascinating detail to the audience:
I heard there was a full song-and-dance number for Wolverine. Naked.
Deadpool & Wolverine’s Cameos Span the Multiverse
Instead of excluding a musical number and going without it, the film is making up for it by introducing an impressive lineup of Marvel characters. For over a year, there have been rumors swirling about potential cameos from Deadpool and Wolverine, with Lady Deathstrike (Kelly Hu), Azazel (Jason Flemyng), Pyro (Aaron Stanford), and Sabretooth (Tyler Mane) already confirmed through trailers and film clips. Furthermore, reputable sources suggest the appearance of Elektra (Jennifer Garner), Professor X (Patrick Stewart), and Rob McElhenney in an unspecified role.
Despite the confirmed appearances, Reynolds maintains there’s more to uncover in the movie. A recent sneak peek allegedly showed less than half an hour of the production, withholding major revelations and surprise guest spots from the audience. Reynolds mentioned in passing that the film boasts a considerable number of cameos.
The honest truth is we’re hiding a lot.
Deadpool & Wolverine signifies Jackman’s initial portrayal of the beloved mutant in this series since his cinematic demise in “Logan” (2017). This comeback in the Marvel Cinematic Universe invigorates the franchise, as previous movies and shows have left fans unimpressed. Joining Reynolds and Jackman are Leslie Uggams, Emma Corrin, Matthew Macfayden, Karan Soni, Morena Baccarin, and Stefan Kapičić in this production.
Deadpool & Wolverine opens in theaters in the United States and Canada on July 26, 2024.
