I'm really digging the realistic take on the yellow suit. I think it works well.

Also, I hope there's going to be a scene where he rips the sleeves off. Long sleeved Logan feels wrong πŸ˜‚

I was thinking the same exact thing. This looks to be based on John Cassaday's redesign from 2004 and that one leaves his forearms bare.

I thought Hugh said he was done. Must have imagined it

[–] [email protected] 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the dump truck full of cash convinced him otherwise

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That and maybe not needing to work out and/or dehydrate himself to be buff as hell for shots, if the body-covering yellow suit is anything to go off of.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

If he doesn't have a topless/nude scene with Reynolds touching his chest for comedic effect, I'll be kind of disappointed. But really, I think he's doing this for a mixture of the tremendous Disney money and because he's friends with Reynolds.

He didn’t have to do that in the first place - he just wanted to. Hugh was really small in the first xmen movie and got bigger as they went along.

That's because standards changed

You must not have seen many 80s action movies.

I guess they had talked about doing this movie awhile back but it wasn't really possible at the time with everything going on with the rights to movies/characters. They never really thought this would have been possible, but once Marvel took control over everything, it became a possibility and Ryan went to Hugh with the idea. He was a little reticent on doing it because he thought Logan was the perfect ending for character, but they said that it wouldn't alter the timeline of what happened in the movie so he agreed to do it.

I guess Reynolds and Jackman are buddies too which probably made the convincing a lot easier.

That and the dump truck full of cash that @winebaths referenced probably didn't hurt.

Nice ! Thanks for the details

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My theory is that he's not actually playing Wolverine and him being in this movie is a big gag, like he's actually playing Deadpool's dad or some other character. I don't think any of the official announcements actually said anything other than Hughes Jackman is in it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hugh Jackman has been kidnapped by Deadpool

As a child who grew up watching 80's and 90's cartoons, specifically the X-Men TV Series. This looks fucking amazing, and I'm here for it.

Alright, I'll come clean, I sang that out loud.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I sang the following notes and rest of the song out loud

Saturday morning Gambit in a movie(done right) would be sick AF.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

I can't imagine any other Wolverine than Hugh. It's crazy for how long and how many different universes he has contributed.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Oh my god Wolverine's suit exceeds my lofty expectations.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Hugh Jackman will always and forever be Wolverine. Perfection

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Was that so hard? It looks great.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Looking like ketchup and mustard

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even got the claw covers on the gloves!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

But why's he got sleeves?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What would Hollywood be without sequels...

Frick... You got me there :D

and remakes.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Probably about the same, just with less money.

Great costume design

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I love it. Apparently Jennifer Garner is coming back as Elektra as well.

Pretty excited about this.

Are we sure that’s Ryan Reynolds and not the T-Mobile CEO? 🀨

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
