Recently, during the premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine, a fan named Alex hilariously recreated the above scene with Jackman. Dressed as Cyclops, Alex shared the exchange on his Instagram account. Jackman quipped, “You actually go outside wearing that?”, to which Alex hit back with, “What would you expect, black leather?” This sarcastic jab had Jackman and fans doubling up in laughter, with many agreeing that it should’ve made its way into the forthcoming movie.
