‘Deadpool 3’ Can Finally Give Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine A Comic Accurate Yellow Suit

NOW that Hugh Jackman is returning for Deadpool 3, the new movie could finally be where he gets Wolverine’s comic accurate yellow suit.

It was thought that Jackman was done with his iconic Marvel role after 2017’s Logan killed Wolverine, but Ryan Reynolds and the Deadpool franchise have changed that. The sequel comes from Marvel Studios and takes place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the franchise’s usual R-rated humor and violence will remain.

After making jokes about Hugh Jackman in the previous installments, Ryan Reynolds now gets his wish of Wolverine and Wade Wilson teaming up thanks to Deadpool 3.

Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine return in Deadpool 3 comes over two decades after he first debuted as the Marvel superhero. Jackman first played the mutant in 2000’s X-Men. While some might have lamented the idea of having a tall Wolverine, Jackman proved to be the perfect choice to play the character.

Despite his tall stature, Jackman did his best to match Wolverine’s comic book look, including having his usual hairdo and ripped physique throughout his tenure. However, Fox’s X-Men movies never gave Wolverine a comic accurate costume.

The original movies put him and the X-Men in black leather suits, while X-Men: Days of Future Past was the closest audiences came to seeing Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a costume with any color.

Deadpool 3 is now the perfect opportunity for Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine to get a comic accurate suit. Audiences were teased with the idea of Jackman suiting up in Wolverine’s traditional yellow costume at the end of The Wolverine, but his future appearances never made good on that setup.

It would not have worked in Logan, but the brightly colored suit can easily be incorporated into Wolverine’s Deadpool 3 story. Not only would it finally give Hugh Jackman a chance to wear the character’s iconic costume that has evaded him for over two decades, but it could also help the 53-year-old star by giving him a break from needing to be in Wolverine’s ripped physique for the production.

Fox’s X-Men movies never giving Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine a yellow suit is often viewed as a major missed opportunity. The reason that he did not start out with the comic accurate look is that Fox and director Bryan Singer thought that audiences might not accept the traditional X-Men comic costumes. Budgetary restrictions also were partially a factor behind X-Men’s black leather outfits.

Neither of these should have been much of a concern as the franchise moved forward due to its established success. However, Fox’s X-Men franchise still shied away from giving characters more comic accurate looks until much later on. While the younger cast for the prequels got to wear suits closer to the source material, Jackman never got that opportunity.

With Fox routinely opting against having comic accurate costumes in the X-Men movies, the studio unknowingly left the door open for Deadpool 3 and the MCU to benefit from this mistake. Seeing Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a comic accurate suit – even if it is only for a moment – is something that would delight fans around the world.
It would also fit Marvel Studios’ trend of including comic accurate suits for characters in Phase 4, even when they were previously thought to be unadaptable for live-action. Seeing Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine in a yellow suit in Deadpool 3 would be the ultimate move. (source: screenrant.com)
