Deadpool 3 already boasts one obvious link to that film: Logan himself, Hugh Jackman. The Aussie actor has come out of superhero retirement to portray the fan-favorite character,better known as Wolverine.
The in-universe mechanics underpinning Jackman’s comeback are still a mystery. All fans know for certain is that Deadpool 3treats Logan as canon, despite the sequel itself making the jump to the MCU.
Whether the third Deadpool outing will directly revisit any of Logan’s events is likewise shrouded in secrecy – but Reynolds’ set photo suggests that it may do exactly that.

Reynolds posted the pic as a Story onInstagram. It shows two chairs emblazoned with the names Logan and Wade Wilson (the civilian alter-ego of Reynolds’ Deadpool) in front of a cornfield. Although the setting isn’t identified, it resembles the Munson farm in Logan.

Of course, this could simply be a coincidence. However, it’s also possible that the farm – where evil Wolverine clone X-24 slaughters the Munsons andPatrick Stewart’s Professor X– is where Deadpool 3’s Wolverine hails from. And if so, this could rewrite that film’s timeline.
Assuming Wade Wilson somehow shows up to recruit Logan before or during X-24’s attack, it could mean the Munsons and Professor X’s lives are spared. Alternatively, Wade whisking Wolvie away could lead to the death of his daughter, Laura, at X-23’s claws.
That said, Jackmanpreviously insistedthat Deadpool 3 would leave Logan’s ending untouched. So, if Wolverine is indeed plucked from the farm, the knock-on effects of this will presumably be minor.
Either way, Deadpool 3 running back Logan’s Munson farm scene is speculation for now. Some of the movie’s other ties to the legacy X-franchise are already confirmed, though. Notably, unauthorized set photos have revealed that X-Men villainsToad and Sabretoothwill show up in Deadpool 3.
