Marvel fans are in for a treat as the first look of the costumes worn by Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool have been dropped. Hugh Jackman shared the first photo of the duo wearing their suits on his Instagram Story.
Reynolds has described the movie to be a Multiversal “road trip” with Wolverine. The third Deadpool movie, which is set to release in 2024, is both actors’ first foray into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The biggest shock in Wolverine’s costume is that it is bright yellow. This means it is different from the character’s costume in the Fox-Verse Marvel films. It is more similar to the comic version of the Wolverine costume. As noted by The Direct, the costume is “in line with the character’s signature look from the comics, X-Men: The Animated Series, and what audiences will see in X-Men ’97 on Disney+.”
However, fans have been left unimpressed with the missing details. Most significantly, the costume in the comics was sleeveless. Fans are hoping Jackman’s Wolverine will lose his sleeves during the movie. One fan wrote, “Why does Wolverine need shoulder plates.”

I’ve always vibed with Logan without the mask. Just a shame about the sleeves pic.twitter.com/4I1YA7oU1N

I think it looks good. But it would’ve been perfect without the sleeves.

It looks amazing my only criticism is the sleeves but other than that I’m happy Hugh finally got to wear a comic accurate Wolverine costume.

Another recent update about the movie also stated that Jennifer Garner will be returning as Elektra. Deadpool and Wolverine’s debut in the MCU in 2024 is one of the most awaited moves for Marvel fans.
Ryan Reynolds asked fans to not credit him for Hugh Jackman’s comeback as Wolverine
Hugh Jackman had given up on his role as Wolverine. He believed it was time to hang up his boots as Logan in 2017. However, he somehow agreed to reprise the role in Reynolds’ Deadpool 3. Fans believed that it was Reynolds who brought Jackman back. However, the Wrexham AFC co-owner asked fans not to give him too much credit.

He said, “I think you’re giving me too much credit. I don’t believe that I’m responsible for Hugh coming back. I always wanted Hugh to come back. My first meeting with Kevin Feige when Disney bought Fox years ago, maybe three years ago, or three and a half, four years ago, I’m not sure, was about doing a movie with the two of us, a Deadpool Wolverine movie.
“And that was not possible at the time. And then Hugh just happened to call at that perfect moment and express that he’d be interested in coming back and doing this one more time.”
Reynolds has been recently tasting success in sports as his team Wrexham AFC earned promotion a few months ago to league soccer in England. He also acquired a stake in Formula 1 team Alpine. He is on his way to tasting even sweeter success with Deadpool 3 as fans are excited for the movie to come out next year.
