Marvel fans, hold onto your seats! The much-anticipated ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ film is gearing up to hit the big screen, and the buzz is real—especially after stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman were seen in their iconic costumes for the first time. This cinematic reunion is not just a treat for fans but a momentous occasion for the actors and crew involved.
Unveiling the Super Suits
During a special interaction with The Movie Report on YouTube at London’s Eventim Apollo, both Reynolds and Jackman shared their experiences of donning their superhero attire. Reynolds, familiar with Deadpool’s gear, and Jackman, stepping into his Wolverine costume—specifically, the classic yellow and blue spandex—created a memorable scene.
“I can talk about the first day we walked on set wearing the uniform, and for me, wearing the yellow and blue for the first time, but together we came out and there we were at Pinewood here in London, and the crew that, let’s just say they worked a lot of movies before… there was a hush amongst everyone, and that was a really cool moment,” Jackman recounted.
The silence that fell over the set was telling. It was a profound moment for Reynolds as well, who felt the weight of the occasion.
“I knew there was something auspicious about it but I didn’t recognize how intense that would feel. That whole crew was just silent when we were standing next to each other in those suits, and it was a real eye-opener for me,” said Reynolds.
Crew and Fan Reactions: A Study in Contrasts
While the crew was momentarily stunned into silence, the reaction expected from Marvel enthusiasts worldwide will likely be far more vocal. The anticipation has been building for years, and now that it’s finally materializing, theaters are expected to be filled with cheers and applause.
The contrast in reactions underscores the unique position of crew members who, steeped in cinema magic daily, were moved by this particular visual. Yet, they too are set to join the general audience in celebrating this historic team-up on screen.
Hugh Jackman’s Take on the Wolverine Costume
The excitement around Jackman’s costume extends beyond its visual appeal; it signifies a new chapter for his character. Speaking with Empire Magazine, Jackman shared his immediate connection with the outfit:
“From the moment I put it on here, I was like, ‘How did we never do this?’ It looked so right, it felt so right.”
This film promises to explore facets of Wolverine previously unseen in the X-Men saga. Jackman’s enthusiasm about portraying a fresh version of his character adds another layer of intrigue for fans and newcomers alike.
