Hugh Jackmanis getting ready to hang up the claws as Wolverine, with the upcomingLoganset to be his last movie as the iconic mutant. Well, that is unlessRyan Reynoldscan convince him to come back for aDeadpoolandWolverinecrossover movie, but at the moment, that doesn’t look like it is going to happen. For now, we have to assume thatLoganwill really be his last time. So, are we finally going to see the classic yellow Wolverine suit? It seems likeHugh Jackmanmay have just teased exactly that.
The actor recently made a post to his officialTwitteraccount, featuring a Wolverine action figure in the classic yellow suit from theX-Mencomics.Hugh Jackmansimply captioned the photo with “the original,” and let fans do the rest. Given the very subtle way some things are teased these days, it seems very possible that this could be a sign that the suit could make an appearance inLogan. If it really is the last time we see his version ofWolverineon screen, that would be a fun thing to see and would serve as a great bit of fan service.
Wolverine first appeared inBryan Singer’sX-Menback in 2000 and in that movie, the team suited up in mostly black leather suits. Cyclops even joked to Wolverine, “what would you prefer? Yellow spandex?” That has largely been the case in subsequent movies, but some characters have been seen in more classic versions of their costumes. In a deleted scene fromThe Wolverine, the yellow costume was seen in a box that was gifted to Logan, but the scene didn’t make it into the movie. So couldLoganfinally be where the suit shows up? Maybe, but the setting seems a bit unlikely. Here is theofficial synopsisforLogan.
“In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailingProfessor Xin a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.”
In the second trailer forLogan, we saw the young mutantX-23, played byDafne Keen, holding anX-Mencomic book. Outside of that being a bit met and self-referential, it did provide some context that would make the yellow costume showing up in the movie less jarring and seemingly out of place. SinceLogantakes place in a not-too-distant future in 2029 where most mutants have disappeared and the landscape is very bleak, a bright yellow superhero costume could throw things off quite a bit. Still, if they can find a way to slip it in and not make it seem forced, fans will certainly go absolutely crazy for it.
