I'm really digging the realistic take on the yellow suit. I think it works well.

Also, I hope there's going to be a scene where he rips the sleeves off. Long sleeved Logan feels wrong 😂

[–] TheManIsInsane@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I was thinking the same exact thing. This looks to be based on John Cassaday's redesign from 2004 and that one leaves his forearms bare.

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 19 points 2 years ago (5 children)

I thought Hugh said he was done. Must have imagined it

[–] LClaypool2112@kbin.social 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I guess they had talked about doing this movie awhile back but it wasn't really possible at the time with everything going on with the rights to movies/characters. They never really thought this would have been possible, but once Marvel took control over everything, it became a possibility and Ryan went to Hugh with the idea. He was a little reticent on doing it because he thought Logan was the perfect ending for character, but they said that it wouldn't alter the timeline of what happened in the movie so he agreed to do it.

I guess Reynolds and Jackman are buddies too which probably made the convincing a lot easier.

That and the dump truck full of cash that @winebaths referenced probably didn't hurt.

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 2 points 2 years ago

Nice ! Thanks for the details

[–] AndrewZabar@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Yeah he was, but he agreed to reprise just for Ryan. And, well, y’know, money.

[–] winebaths@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think the dump truck full of cash convinced him otherwise

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

That and maybe not needing to work out and/or dehydrate himself to be buff as hell for shots, if the body-covering yellow suit is anything to go off of.

[–] WaltJRimmer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

If he doesn't have a topless/nude scene with Reynolds touching his chest for comedic effect, I'll be kind of disappointed. But really, I think he's doing this for a mixture of the tremendous Disney money and because he's friends with Reynolds.

[–] Radicalized@lemmy.one 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He didn’t have to do that in the first place - he just wanted to. Hugh was really small in the first xmen movie and got bigger as they went along.

[–] flashmedallion@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago

That's because standards changed

[–] ultimate_question@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My theory is that he's not actually playing Wolverine and him being in this movie is a big gag, like he's actually playing Deadpool's dad or some other character. I don't think any of the official announcements actually said anything other than Hughes Jackman is in it

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hugh Jackman has been kidnapped by Deadpool

[–] AnusBesamus@feddit.de 16 points 2 years ago

I can't imagine any other Wolverine than Hugh. It's crazy for how long and how many different universes he has contributed.

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.one 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As a child who grew up watching 80's and 90's cartoons, specifically the X-Men TV Series. This looks fucking amazing, and I'm here for it.

[–] Starburn@kbin.social 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Da na na naa na na, Da na na naa na na

[–] weksa@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Alright, I'll come clean, I sang that out loud.

[–] SmurfDotSee@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Saturday morning Gambit in a movie(done right) would be sick AF.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even got the claw covers on the gloves!

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago

But why's he got sleeves?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/gMr2p39-gvE

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

[–] rockyrikoko@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

That link took me to a loud hot mess express with ads automatically blaring in Korean (I think)

Edit: Hm, I'm getting downvoted. Either my experience was way different than everyone else's or OP is suppressing my comment. Can anyone confirm or deny the experience I had when visiting this site?

[–] samsy@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Looks good, but I use adblock. Must be a bot which creates invidious links from YouTube to piped(?).

Maybe there are better invidious instances in the wild but the bot creator choosed this one.

[–] thefuckinnerds@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago

Looking like ketchup and mustard

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (3 children)

What would Hollywood be without sequels...

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Frick... You got me there :D

[–] Flaky_Fish69@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

and remakes.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Probably about the same, just with less money.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Well before sequels it was 100 westerns, two released every week. Lots of variety and innovation there.

[–] Lordgeoffery@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hugh Jackman will always and forever be Wolverine. Perfection

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He's finally wearin' yellow!

[–] AbyssalChord@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Probably an unpopular opinion but the color‘s too bright for me. Some kind of off-white yellow would be much better imo. Either way, I bet they‘re going to put some post effects over it anyway.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's in a Deadpool movie. They get to be ridiculous. I'm a bit surprised that there are sleeves.

[–] Duranie@lemmy.film 3 points 2 years ago

Sleeves... for now...

[–] TheAndrewBrown@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well it’s meant to look like the original comics, which had a pretty bright yellow. There’s a reason the X-Men haven’t used that costume in a while lol

[–] Prouvaire@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

I always thought Wolverine was thinking, “actually, yes” there

[–] transmatrix@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This isn’t a “through lens” shot. It will likely look much darker on screen if they follow current trends.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Was that so hard? It looks great.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck yeah, they got Wolverine in the classic yellow shit. :D

[–] FlashZordon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh my god Wolverine's suit exceeds my lofty expectations.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Great costume design

[–] pyromaster55@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I love it. Apparently Jennifer Garner is coming back as Elektra as well.

Pretty excited about this.
