Kevin Feige had one condition for Hugh Jackman’s return in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’
Kevin Feige reveals the one thing he wanted to see if Hugh Jackman was to return to the big screen as everyone’s favorite mutant in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’.
The use of the mythical yellow suit in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ was an essential condition for the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. This was revealed by the very same persona that imposed it: Kevin Feige, president and creative director at Marvel Studios. This was a way to compensate for the fact that in the films produced by Fox, Jackman never got to show off the emblematic look.
The revelation comes as part of the global tour the cast and crew are going through right now while promoting the release of the film, currently in Shanghai (via ComicBook.com). When asked about whether or not the actor could return, the executive immediately answered: “Yes, but he wears the yellow. Can he finally wear the yellow?”
In his first appearance as the mutant in ‘X-Men’ (2000), Hugh Jackman meets Cyclops, James Marsden’s character, and in a humorous phrase that breaks the fourth wall, Wolverine asks about their black leather suits. Cyclops answers “What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?”, referring to the fact that yellow had been the flagship color of the X-Men’s costumes in the comics for many years.,
In the ‘X-Men 97′ (2024) animated series, the joke got turned upside down, with Cable asking about the striking and colorful costumes of the X-Men, and they respond with a “And what would you prefer? Black leather?”.
Logan’s yellow suit is his most popular representation not only in the comics, but also in other media like video games like Marvel vs. Capcom 3; this is the reason why when it became known that Hugh Jackman would wear the yellow suit from the comics in this third Deadpool movie, fans have praised this decision constantly.
