The original X-Men movies famously shied away from using the characters’ iconic superhero costumes. So for over two decades, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine couldn’t even wear his blue and yellow outfit from the comics. Deadpool and Wolverine finally gave Jackman a chance to change that, and he couldn’t be happier about it.
“We almost did it in The Wolverine,” Jackman told Empire. “But from the moment I put it on here, I was like, ‘How did we never do this?’ It looked so right, it felt so right. I was like, ‘That’s him.’ There are different sides of Wolverine we haven’t seen before in the movies. It was exciting for me.”
Jackman also recalled going for a long drive while considering his Wolverine comeback after seemingly ending his run with Logan in 2017.
“I was about an hour into the drive,” said Jackman. “And that question came into my head: ‘What do I want to do?’ And as soon as I asked the question, I wanted to do Deadpool & Wolverine. I just knew it. I drove for another hour. Couldn’t stop thinking about it. And I got out of the car, called Ryan, and said, ‘Ryan, if you’ll have me, I’m in.'”
Deadpool and Wolverine will hit theaters on Friday, July 26.
