10-07-23 | After months of rumours and speculation it has finally been confirmed that Hugh Jackman will be portraying Wolverine once more, in the upcoming Deadpool 3. Newly released photos reveal Jackman’s costume, inspired by Wolverine’s classic look in the comics. Jackman’s X-Men films have thus far featured uniforms with a stylized and subdued look. The iconic yellow suit, along with its occupant, will hit cinema screens in 2024.
The fact that Jackman is co-starring in Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool series is ironic, given that Reynolds debuted as the character in Jackman’s first solo feature, X-Men Origins: Wolverine. This interpretation of Deadpool was poorly received, as he did not in any way resemble the wise-cracking character from the comics. Something the Deadpool films have happily been poking fun at.
Jackman last portrayed Wolverine in Logan, which was believed to be the superhero’s swansong. The emotionally hard hitting film was well received by critics and audiences alike when released in 2017. Hugh Jackman’s willingness to resurface after such an accomplished farewell is surprising. And naturally highly anticipated. Wolverine’s classic look is the icing on the cake. Be sure to check out Deadpool 3 in the spring of next year!
