Twitter Reacts To Hugh Jackman In Iconic Wolverine Suit For Deadpool 3
After over two decades, Hugh Jackman will finally don the iconic yellow and blue Wolverine costume in the upcoming Deadpool 3 film.
On Monday, Twitter users got a first look at the actor wearing the beloved supersuit after the Deadpool Twitter account posted a behind-the-scenes photo of Hugh and Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, walking side-by-side.
Fans of Wolverine know that this is a massive win considering the original X-Men movies steered clear from the traditional costumes, particularly Wolverine’s famous bright yellow suit from the Marvel Comics and ’90s animated X-Men series, which fans literally begged to see for years.

Like this is crazy, they are doing a comic accurate Wolverine suit in a movie. I need even more comicbook movies to stop being ashamed of its colorful and weird costumes. pic.twitter.com/9kGqB2jM2l

Though many fans beamed over the star’s suit, some Twitter users pointed out that it includes sleeves, unlike his famous look in the comic books...
I’m so happy we are finally getting Hugh Jackman in the classic Wolverine costume in Deadpool 3 but I really wish it didn’t have sleeves. pic.twitter.com/nBUPIeGmeD

The more I look at it, the more I love this suit. I do wish they didn't have the sleeves, but it's as close to perfection as I could have asked for after waiting 20+ years to see a live action classic Wolverine suit.

I’m hoping them sleeves get ripped off during a fight. Need that sleeveless look too pic.twitter.com/wafmharYuu
Besides the GARBAGE sleeves…Wolverine looks INCREDIBLE pic.twitter.com/4ol3mSl7xZ

However, other Twitter users speculated that the sleeves might be in place to protect the Australian actor from the sun while filming due to Hugh’s skin cancer treatments over the years.
Just been made aware Wolverine’s suit has sleeves likely because Hugh Jackman is susceptible to skin cancer & they wanna cover him up as much as they can. Fair enough! https://t.co/Lve51PHTdn

Idk if the sleeves on Jackman's suit are actually there precisely cuz he had skin cancer.

My bets are on the idea that we'll see him in-costume a lot, and since he has (a great) muscle suit, he won't have to always dehydrate in order for Wolverine to look how he desires. pic.twitter.com/C8jJ4tUDap
In September, Ryan ignited social media after releasing a surprise videoteasing the return of the regenerative mutant with virtually indestructible adamantium claws for Deadpool 3.
The video came to be despite Hugh having previously said that his Wolverine days were over.
Since 2000, Jackman has played the fast-healing superhero nine times in multiple films, including X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class in a cameo, The Wolverine, X-Men: Days Of Future Past, X-Men: Apocalypse, Deadpool 2 and Logan.
His Wolverine character died during his last appearance in 2017’s Logan after adamantium poisoning overwhelmed his system, killing him slowly due to his age.
Deadpool 3 hits cinemas in November 2024.
