Hugh Jackman’s Return as Wolverine
Begin your countdown, fellow Marvel fans! The much-anticipated movie, Deadpool & Wolverine, is all set to hit your local theaters in around a month. The latest situation in this universe has a twist that will bring a lump to your throat – Hugh Jackman sporting Wolverine’s trademark yellow suit. If you’ve followed Jackman in his previous appearances as the iconic Wolverine, you’d know he’s never worn this particular outfit. So, why is he wearing it now? Rumors suggest there’s a heart-wrenching reason behind this iconic suit.
A Sad Twist in the Tale
Fans worldwide rejoiced when images of Jackman wearing the comic-faithful yellow suit on the Deadpool 3 set emerged, sparking joy among the comic book faithful. But as the saying goes “all that glitters is not gold”, this moment of cheer may, unfortunately, come from a place of sorrow.
Marvel insider, @MyTimeToShineH, has revealed a sad explanation for Wolverine’s new outfit. They suggest that Wolverine is donning the outfit in memory of his much-loved but now tragically lost fellow X-Men. While we don’t know much about this version of Wolverine in the Deadpool universe, it’s hinted that he might be the last surviving X-Men member. He’s likely on a mission for some kind of retribution.
According to the scooper, Wolverine’s friends in the X-Men repeatedly asked him to wear the yellow suit. Wolverine, however, refused their requests. With his friends now gone, he feels a sense of responsibility to honor them by wearing the yellow suit. It is a stark reminder of the cost of their battle and the friends he has lost.
The Iconic Joke about Wolverine’s Yellow Suit
The yellow suit of Wolverine has always been a comic joke in Marvel Universe. Going back two decades to Bryan Singer’s 2000 X-Men film, Cyclops, played by James Marsden, humorously retorted at Wolverine’s comment on their costumes, saying “What would you prefer, yellow spandex?”
This joke resurfaced among fans with the release of these recent photos of Jackman in the iconic suit for the first time. The fans, long disappointed by Singer’s dismissal of the comic-accurate suit, felt vindicated by the new direction of Marvel.
Marsden’s Return to Dead Pool?
Adding more spice to the anticipation, when James Marsden, who portrayed Cyclops, was quizzed about his appearance in Deadpool 3, he played coy. He disclosed that he was filming a sequel to Sonic near the Deadpool 3 set though he did not deny or confirm his appearance in the upcoming movie.
The Yellow Suit and Beyond
Although it is heartbreaking to think of Wolverine wearing the iconic outfit because he lost his team, fans are optimistic about this backstory. Also, the possible return of Marsden and other X-Men actors along with Ryan Reynolds promises plenty of humor and action.
The movie release is set for 26th July 2024. Fans will have to wait and see whether these rumors are true and, if they are, will need to bring along their tissues when going to the premier. Other X-Men and Deadpool movies are currently streaming on Disney+, so fans can get their fix in the meantime. Let’s wait and see what unfolds in this multiversal adventure.
