As he returns in 'Deadpool & Wolverine', the film explores the dynamic between the two characters, balancing comedy and deeper themes of regret. The production faced delays due to Hollywood strikes, but this allowed for valuable editing time. The film aims to honor the legacy of Marvel characters while providing a fresh narrative.
