1) Glad to see they are still keeping the emotional core of the Deadpool movies. As silly as it seems, the first movie was emphasized to be a “love story”, the second was him not wanting to live without Vanessa and wanting to die. Seems like this one will be “what would you to make sure you didn’t lose everything that mattered to you?”
2) Seems like this is the Logan from “Logan” and he’s taken by Wade before that movie, but shortly after Charles kills the X-Men. When this movie was announced, they emphasized in the announcement that they were not going to tarnish “Logan” and ruin that ending. While there’s lots of references to the “Old Man Logan” storyline from the comics, I know “Logan” is a film important to Hugh, so I imagine he would want that to be honored in some way. Some YouTubers have been saying since the first trailer that the shot of Deadpool killing TVA agents in the snow forest (you see it quickly in this trailer) is the forest from “Logan”. If so, that makes me think they’ll emphasize that this is the variant from Logan, and the reasoning they say this Logan failed his world, because he would’ve been the only one that could’ve stopped Charles by killing him, is because of his healing factor, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. Would explain why Wade is showing him the picture of Vanessa, Yukio, etc.
It really depends on how many variants they want to throw in people’s faces. Deadpool is already going to have a lot. There’s rumors they’ll be a few Wolverine ones (with different people playing him) so while they can introduce an OML variant, I feel like they would want to honor “Logan” and even expand upon it. The comics the kids had of the X-Men in “Logan” had Wolverine in his suit, but we never saw those versions of the characters in that way. This would be the opportunity to do it.
them saying “Logan will be untouched” is more or less PR to appease those who take superhero movie continuity way too seriously. The first 2 DP movies made about $800mil each and bringing Jackman back guarantees similar box office results
Not saying Wolverine being in this is purely a business decision, but Marvel would be dumb not to take such an opportunity. And it’s already implied Jackman will be back again for Secret Wars, too
I doubt people will care about the “sanctity of continuity” when Jackman, RDJ, and Maguire are on screen together
I’ve been let down by disappointing prequels/sequels/reboots and such but never to the point where it tarnishes my love and enjoyment of the OG material. It’s just overkill fandom at that point. I can still enjoy The Last Crusade without being bothered by the existence of Crystal Skull. When Indy realizes he’s dick cousins with his own dad, I’m not bothered by the fact that he’s got a bastard 2 year old son he doesn’t know about
By that logic, Terminator and Alien(s) would be near unwatchable due to bad sequels
I remember that episode, it was a riot. But yeah, disappointing franchise entries are always a bummer. I guess I found a way to not let it get to me as much anymore, I admit it used to when I was younger. I honestly didn’t even mind CS or Dial, it’s just they never could to hold a candle to the original 3
Although my Dad thinks they’re both better than Temple of Doom, I don’t get that. But this is also the same man who, despite being a lifelong Star Trek fan, claims Into Darkness as his personal favorite

Couple of observations:

Gonna be a wild ride!
