Jackman"s Wolverine Has Joined A Group Of MCU Superheroes With 1 Broken Rule In Common
Summary
One of the most-anticipated Marvel releases of 2024, Deadpool & Wolverine reunites the Canadian mutants after they first crossed paths in X-Men: Origins Wolverine. While the 2009 film reduced Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool to a Merc “without” a Mouth, 2016’s Deadpool and its sequels have reinvented the antihero in comic-accurate fashion. R-rated violence aside, the Deadpool movies allowed the character to break the fourth wall with plenty of Easter Eggs and deadpan humor. Even when Deadpool wasn’t MCU canon, his legacy continued with fourth wall breaks in Marvel movies and shows. Now, it seems like Wolverine has also caught on the trend.

While it is common for Deadpool to talk to the audience in not just his movies but also promotional material like TV spots and trailers, it has been confirmed that Wolverine will also be breaking the fourth wall for marketing in cinemas. The decision to make Wolverine address the audience can be traced back to the 2023 video announcing a third Deadpool movie. The video found Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds directly talking to the camera and explaining the movie’s timeline. However, Wolverine’s fourth wall breaking wouldn’t actually feature within the movie and is reserved only for the marketing material.
Even if for promotional purposes, Wolverine breaking the fourth wall would be a first for the character, as he has never done so in the comics before. While Deadpool made fourth-wall-breaking mainstream in comics, the first Marvel Comics character to consistently break the fourth wall was She-Hulk, a trend that was followed by Howard the Duck, Squirrel Girl, Loki, Gwenpool, Rick Jones, and occasionally Spider-Man. Wolverine’s fourth-wall breaking is on point for Deadpool and Wolverine’s unconventional marketing gimmicks that range from last year’s announcement videos to Kevin Feige’s CinemaCon announcement of an “intentionally crude” popcorn bucket designed by Deadpool himself.

The success of Deadpool in 2016 gave way to many Marvel Cinematic Universe heroes following his fourth-wall-breaking steps. The first example in the MCU was Baby Groot in the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. As he dances to “Mr. Blue Sky” in the middle of a battle, he momentarily gets disrupted by an Orloni creature and looks at the camera while also crashing into it. All the sitcom-inspired episodes of WandaVision, similarly had Scarlet Witch, Vision, and their twin children often addressing the audience or just looking into the camera like a character from The Office.
