Forbes says it's the 50th year to the time Wolverine was first introduced in the Marvel universe (in the pages of the Hulk):

The hype machine behind the third Deadpool installment, featuring Hugh Jackman returning as Wolverine for the first time since 2017’s Logan, justifiably reached new heights with the film’s Super Bowl spot on Feb. 11. During the ad, running near the beginning of the big game, we learned the official title of the July 26 release is Deadpool & Wolverine.

It’s fitting that the most highly-anticipated movie featuring the character would release the year of the 50th anniversary of him being created by Roy Thomas, John Romita Sr., and Len Wein. [...]

Marvel Comics will be releasing a 3-part comic book series titled Deadpool & Wolverine: WWIII available May 1 in conjunction with the film.

Marvel followed up the Deadpool & Wolverine Super Bowl frenzy by releasing the trailer and March 20 release date for the long-awaited continuation of the early 90’s Marvel gateway drug for millennials, X-Men: The Animated Series, titled X-Men ‘97 (Diseny+) a few days later. Many of the same voice actors from the original series are returning, including Cal Dodd as Wolverine. [...]

Also in celebration of Marvel’s 50th anniversary celebration of Logan, fan-favorite Wolverine and X-Men writer Chris Claremont is returning for Madripoor Knights #1, hitting shelves Feb. 7 with four subsequent issues to follow. The run piggybacks off of the acclaimed storyline from X-Men #268, written by Claremont, that features a team of Wolverine, Black Widow, and Captain America.

Alas, it's no more a time for celebration than for any of these other onetime icons, based on how Marvel succumbed to wokeness in the early 2000s, and desecrated Capt. America for starters. And Wolverine's been just as much a casualty of wokeism to boot. A number of years ago, Marvel's editors even saw fit to put Logan temporarily in the grave, clearly just for the sake of sales.

Also note how this puff piece promotes X-Men 97, which, as noted before, is going the woke route, turning the Morph character into a "non-binary" identifier. How can Wolverine be celebrated when a direction that atrocious is being emphasized? All it does it take away from whatever significance this new cartoon continuation might've once offered, and no longer does. And that's why, sadly enough, there's nothing to celebrate on the 50th year of Logan's creation.
