Deadpool 3director Shawn Levy has revealed Hugh Jackman’s reaction to wearing the classic yellow and blue Wolverine suit in the upcoming MCU threequel.
“When I approached Hugh with that idea, he’s like ‘Fuck yeah!’” Levy recalled in an interview onJake’s Takes.
Levy also added more context around the decision to bring the comics-accurate costume, featuring the garish colors, into live action for the very first time.
“I’m so happy we were able to release that one picture before the strike paused production,” Levy said, referring to the oneofficial Deadpool 3 imagedoing the rounds of Ryan Reynolds’ Merc with a Mouth and Hugh Jackman’s Wolvie standing side-by-side.
“When we first told Kevin Feige that Hugh Jackman wanted to join the movie, my recollection is damn near the first thing he said [was], ‘let’s go with the blue and yellow. Just tell me we’re going with the blue and yellow.’” Levy said.
As exciting as it was to Jackman, Feige, and millions of Marvel fans, it could be a while yet before Wolverine dons the suit for real in cinemas.
