There are films that are often talked about as “Oscar bait” because of their amazing casts, acclaimed directors, and heartfelt stories. But then you have something like “The Son,” which seems like it was tailor-made to be a sure-thing Oscar contender.
That isn’t a slight against the film, but it’s hard to deny that “The Son” just ticks all the boxes of films that the Academy sure does love.

We’ve all assumed that when Hugh Jackman was announced for “Deadpool 3,” reprising his Logan/”X-Men” one more time—after avowing for years, he was done with the role previously—that it was all the doing of Ryan Reynolds and the director Shaun Levy. Both had a relationship with Jackman; Levy directed him in “Reel Steel” ages ago, and the two actors obviously have quite the relationship on social media with all the gangs and pranks they play on each other (and, of course, Deadpool/Reynolds and Wolverine/Jackman did already act side by side in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” and of course, Reynolds mocked that hard in the meta-end credits of “Deadpool 2”).
Filmmaker James Gray has arguably been trying to avoid himself and his past these last few years, perhaps in order to create something new. A filmmaker who has spent much of his time exploring America and his roots in New York, with humanistic, moral, and family stories about class within the genre of crime (“Little Odessa,” “The Yards,” “We Own The Night”), in the last few years of his filmmaking career, Gray has seemingly gone as far away from New York as possible, into the jungles of the amazon for “The Lost City Of Z” (2014) and into the far reaches of outer space for “Ad Astra” (2019). And while those films have expanded the palette of his preoccupation, “Ada Astra” in particular tackling ideas of American exceptionalism and its myths, perhaps both films—still centered on class, family, fatherhood and more— demonstrated, as far as he travels, the filmmaker cannot escape himself or his human obsessions and concerns.

Just about a month ago, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman blew up the internet with the reveal that Wolverine would be returning in “Deadpool 3.” Since then, people have been asking a lot of questions. How long has this been in the works? What is the film going to look like? Can Hugh Jackman turn in one more worthwhile Wolverine performance after “Logan?” Well, we don’t have answers to all of those questions, but Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman did shed some light on that in a new Variety profile.
