Hugh Jackman's Wolverine suit for Deadpool 3 has finally been revealed, and it is everything fans have been waiting for.
Jackman has played one of Marvel's most popular mutants since the first X-Men in 2000, long before Deadpool. Since then, he has played the character in nine films. Although some of his films have received negative reactions from fans and critics, such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine, fans loved Jackman's portrayal. Jackman never got to wear a comic-accurate yellow suit in his movies, even though it was teased in The Wolverine in 2013. It was rumored that the character will finally wear a comic-accurate Wolverine suit in Deadpool 3.
Ryan Reynolds, who plays the Merc with a Mouth in the Deadpool trilogy and the Merc without a Mouth in X-Men Origins, posted a picture of him and Jackman wearing their superhero suits to his Instagram account. There were recently leaked on-set photos of Reynolds' new Deadpool suit for the film. However, fans were disappointed that Jackman was not seen in those photos. Reynolds has answered by giving fans a good look at both actors in their comic-accurate suits.
The suit looks like it came straight out of an Astonishing X-Men comic and looks fantastic. The picture does not include Wolverine's iconic mask, although his hair is seemingly pointy, like in the comics. It is not confirmed if Jackman will wear a mask at some point in the film or if this will be the character's look throughout the movie.
Mask or not, fans are so excited to see Wolverine in the yellow and blue suit from the comics. It has also been confirmed that this version of Wolverine is from a point in the timeline before Logan and will not diminish the send-off the character received in that film. It is still unclear where this version of Wolverine is from, as being set before Logan is a lot of time to go off of.
Deadpool 3 reportedly deals with the multiverse and may involve the TVA seen in the Disney Plus Loki series. The film is also rumored to feature several characters from the Fox franchises, such as Ben Affleck's Daredevil and Halle Berry as Storm. Jennifer Garner was recently confirmed to reprise her Daredevil role as Elektra. Kevin Feige has said the film will still be R-rated like the previous two Deadpoo l movies.
Deadpool 3 is currently expected to release on May 3, 2024.
UPDATE: The image of Wolverine's new classic-inspired look was also shared in a higher resolution by the official Deadpool movie Instagram account.
