“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,” he explained at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
Photos from the set of the film leaked earlier this year.
Hugh first played Wolverine in the 2000 movie X-Men, and appeared in several films through to 2017′s Logan. He’s set to reprise the character in the third Deadpool film, this time wearing a suit similar to the one worn in the comics and the X-Men animated series from the ’90s.
He explained that he and his team went through “multiple, multiple, multiple iterations and fittings” to make sure the suit was correct.
“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.”
He said he and Ryan Reynolds “wanted our movie to be grounded and not feel like a bunch of physical environments filmed on a soundstage,” leading them to shoot large portions of the movie on location.
“Fortunately, it seems global reaction to those costumes has been overwhelmingly positive, so all’s well that ends well,” he added of the photos leaking. Find out which stars are set to be in the movie!
