Jackman has said that he is playing Wolverine one more time in Deadpool 3 because he feels like he is better at it now than he was when he made the previous X-Men films. He also said that he feels more comfortable in his own skin now, which is something that Wolverine can relate to.
The film will be directed by Shawn Levy, who previously worked with Reynolds on Free Guy and The Adam Project. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick will write the script.

"I wouldn't mess with that. I'm really excited."
Deadpool 3 is sure to be a hit with fans of both the Deadpool and X-Men franchises. It will be interesting to see how they handle the introduction of X-Men characters into the MCU, and how they will address Wolverine's death in Logan.
