Appearing on Josh Horowitz’s Happy Sad Confused<\/a><\/strong> podcast, LOGAN<\/a><\/strong> director James Mangold<\/strong> talked (18:01 mark) about Hugh Jackman<\/strong> returning as Wolverine<\/strong> in DEADPOOL 3<\/a><\/strong>: “It’s not like the new movie Hugh and Ryan [Reynolds]<\/strong> are working on takes place after ‘Logan,’ so in a sense they’re just making a prequel, if you will.” He also shared (20:02 mark) how far along the LAURA<\/strong> spin-off film with Dafne Keen<\/strong> was in development before Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, canceling various X-Men projects like GAMBIT<\/strong> and new trilogies for X-MEN<\/strong> and THE NEW MUTANTS<\/strong>: “I never had a script, I started working on a story; but I don’t think of that as a universe – I just loved the character.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
