Nearly 25 years after he began playing the character, Hugh Jackman is finally suiting up in Wolverine‘s most iconic look. Deadpool & Wolverine executive producer Wendy Jacobson recounted “one of the craziest things” when everyone on set saw the Australian actor wear his character’s signature yellow suit for the first time in the upcoming crossover sequel, premiering July 26 in theaters. “It was the camera test.
It was before we started shooting,” Jacobson told Hey U Guys. “And to see both of those guys, first of all, in costume together was just mind-blowing, but Hugh walking out in the yellow and blue, I mean, there were grown men sobbing on set.
So we knew it was a very special thing.” Although the adamantium claw-wielding superhero was known for his yellow spandex in the 1990s animated X-Men series, Jackman and his fellow mutants wore black leather jumpsuits when he first portrayed Wolverine in the 2000 live-action X-Men movie.
Director Shawn Levy previously told Entertainment Weekly about his fight to get Jackman’s Wolverine to wear the iconic yellow and blue. “Like the rest of the world, I’ve waited two decades to see Wolverine in a whole movie with Deadpool, and I don’t know if this is our last shot at Wolverine on screen, so I was going to make goddamned sure we get the old yellow and blue just once, and that we get it right,” said Levy in September after a first on-set look at Jackman in the suit leaked online.
