However, despite the events of the film, the actor becomes in the third Deadpool movie once again in the role of X-Men icon Hatch. But how does that fit together? After all, the continuity of the Logan film shouldn’t be thrown overboard, at least according to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman. Jackman recently explained exactly why this can work in a radio interview on “SiriusXM”.

Return thanks to different timelines?
