Deadpool 3, which is arriving in theaters in May 2024, has given a new sneak peek into the new costume of the character ‘Wolverine’.
Hugh Jackman will be back as Wolverine one more time in Deadpool 3, reprising the role he had allegedly played for the final time in Logan back in 2017.
He’s of course starring alongside Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool. Reynolds has taken to social media to share the above first-look image this morning, featuring Deadpool and Wolverine side-by-side.
It’s a still from the upcoming Deadpool 3, and the most notable thing about the image is that it features Jackman fully suited up in the classic yellow/blue Wolverine costume that fans have been dying to see him step inside of.
Marvel Studios had hired sisters Wendy Molyneux and Lizzie Molyneux-Loeglin to write Deadpool 3, with Shawn Levy (Free Guy) on board to direct.
The future of the franchise was unclear in the wake of Disney acquiring Fox, where the previous two movies had been made. Deadpool is now ‘officially’ a Marvel Studios property.
