The "Worst Wolverine" in Deadpool & Wolverine is very different from Hugh Jackman's version in the X-Men movies. He's basically a total wreck! He's super messed up after all the X-Men died and he couldn't save them. He's an alcoholic and acts super cynical and abrasive. The "Worst Wolverine" is really rough around the edges, way more than any Wolverine we've seen on screen before. He's a broken dude struggling to deal with all the guilt and sadness from his past. It's kind of a dark and gritty look at a hero who's been through a lot.
Yup, he is! But not as the main Wolverine. You see him in flashbacks and on some screens. They focus on his death in Logan, which is pretty sad. Even though Logan is technically its own thing, Deadpool & Wolverine treats it like it's all part of the same X-Men universe. They even mention how he saved the universe in X-Men: Days of Future Past! He's remembered as a super brave and dedicated hero, and his death is why the X-Men movie timeline is in trouble. It's like they're saying how important Hugh Jackman's Wolverine was to the Fox X-men movies.
He's from the Age Of Apocalypse comic book story. This Wolverine is missing a hand and has a crazy hairstyle, plus some red markings on his face. He's from a dystopian future where a bad guy called Apocalypse took over the world. It's a pretty dark world, and this Wolverine is super tough and just trying to survive. He's a lot different than other Wolverines and probably why Deadpool couldn't take him down in the movie.
Wolverine in the comics is only 5 foot 3 inches tall, which is way shorter than Hugh Jackman, who is like 6 foot 2. So in the movie, they made Jackman super short for one of the Wolverine variants, which is hilarious! They made Jackman super short for this variant, which is hilarious! Deadpool's reaction to this tiny Wolverine makes the joke even funnier. It's a good example of how some things that work in comics don't always look good on screen. It's a fun nod to Wolverine's actual size in the comics.
Patch is a Wolverine variant who has a secret identity. He's from the comic books and you see him in the movie playing poker, all dressed in white. He has an eye patch because he's undercover in the criminal underworld of a city called Madripoor. He's trying to stay hidden while the X-men are away. He's super good at espionage and fighting, but he's also got a bit of a drinking and gambling problem. It's a cool Easter egg for comic fans because they recreated his look perfectly in the movie.
It's super surprising because Henry Cavill is usually known for playing Superman! He pops up in Deadpool & Wolverine as a Wolverine variant, fixing a motorcycle and looking like a total badass. Deadpool even calls him "Cavillrine" which is funny because fans always wanted Cavill to play Wolverine in the MCU. It's a funny way to connect the Dceu and the MCU, kind of like Deadpool is saying "Hey, Cavill, you should come work with us, we're better than those guys!"
