Deadpool 3–or Deadpool and Wolverine if you’re going by the film’s official title–will finally see Marvel’s favorite mutant suited up in a costume straight out of the comic books, and according to some leaked promotional images, it looks like he’ll also finally be donning the signature cowl of the fan-favorite character.
While images of Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman were revealed several months ago, he wasn’t seen wearing a mask in those images. The recent “Marvel Messiah” trailer for Deadpool and Wolverine only hinted at Logan’s appearance–presumably before he turns Deadpool into a human kebab–but photos of promotional items from the recent CinemaCon trade expo have shown off Wolverine fully suited up and ready to rumble.
It only took 25 years, but it looks like this will be the most comic book-accurate incarnation of Wolverine, visually. Hugh Jackman’s first run as the character saw him slip into a militarized leather outfit in the X-Men trilogy of films, while subsequent appearances saw him alternate between civilian clothes and battle gear that paid subtle homage to his origins. In all of those appearances, Logan never once wore a mask, although a deleted scene for 2013’s The Wolverine did tease his brown costume.
Previously, Deadpool and Wolverine director Shawn Levy explained how he and his team went through “multiple, multiple, multiple iterations and fittings” before they settled on the final look for Wolverine. “It also helps that I’m making this movie within the MCU, so I have access to an army of the nerdiest nerds available to a Marvel project,” Levy said.
Deadpool and Wolverine is out in theaters this July and is Marvel’s only film coming in 2024 as the company aims to produce fewer and better movies. Alongside Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the film also stars Karan Soni as Dopinder and the actor has teased many “surprise” cameos in the movie.
