Which Familiar Mutant Has A Cameo In ‘Logan’? [UPDATED]
For someone who considers himself a lone wolf, Wolverine sure seems to have a lot of pals. ThoughLoganis his story first and foremost, it surrounds him with several other mutants including Professor X (Patrick Stewart), Laura (Dafne Keen), and Caliban (Stephen Merchant). And now it looks like another familiar face will be making their way to theX-Menspinoff. Get details on theLogancameo below, but be warned that the following information may be considered spoiler-y.
UPDATE:Director James Mangold is denying theLogancameo rumor. See his reaction below.TheWrapreportsRyan Reynoldswill be making an appearance as Deadpool inLogan, and that in fact he’s already shot his scene withDeadpool 2directorDavid Leitch. (The rest ofLoganis directed byJames Mangold.) Deadpool’s cameo is likely to be included as a post-credits scene, rather than as part of the main storyline.
Which is probably for the best, because as good asDeadpoolwas and as good asLoganlooks, the two films could not be more different in tone or personality. Yes, they’re both R-rated, butDeadpoolis all cheeky wisecracks, gleeful bloodshed, and NSFW sex, whereasLoganlooks much more like a grim, gritty adult Western. Plus, we all remember what happened the last time Deadpool and Wolverine were in a movie together — we got the very terribleX-Men Origins: Wolverine, which did both characters a massive disservice. I expect there’ll be some cracks about that in Deadpool’sLogancameo.
Loganpicks up with Wolverine in a bleak, not-too-distant future in which mutant births are in severe decline. Logan’s powers are in decline, leaving him with intense pain that he self-medicates with booze. He has a day job as a driver and in his time off, he and Caliban take care of an ailing Professor X whose mind is not all there anymore. Though Logan has long since left his superhero days behind, he finds himself called into action once more when he’s moved to help Laura, a young mutant who reminds him of himself.Loganis in theatersMarch 3, 2017.UPDATE:Mangold and Reynolds are both strenuously denying reports that Deadpool will make a cameo inLogan.

Two possibilities here. Maybe TheWrap just plain got it wrong. Rumors tend to fly fast and heavy around highly anticipated films likeLogan, and even generally reliable sources can fall for the wrong ones from time to time. Or maybe TheWrap got it exactly right, and Mangold and Reynolds are just trying not to spoil the surprise. It wouldn’t be unheard of for filmmakers and stars to flat-out lie to hide a plot twist — remember how adamantly the entireStar Trek Into Darknesscast and crew insisted Benedict Cumberbatch was not playing Khan, before it turned out he was, in fact, playing Khan?
