First Look at Wolverine in Deadpool 3: Classic Costume Revealed

Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine in "Deadpool 3" has been a topic of great anticipation among fans. There were concerns about how the film would handle the character, especially considering the impactful conclusion of Wolverine's storyline in "Logan." However, it seems that Jackman's promise to fans holds true, as a first look at "Deadpool 3" reveals Wolverine sporting his classic yellow-and-blue costume from the comic books. This version of Wolverine differs from Jackman's previous portrayal, as the iconic costume has never been seen on the big screen before.

Currently in production, "Deadpool 3" is directed by Shawn Levy, who recently worked with Ryan Reynolds in the highly successful film "Free Guy" and the Netflix blockbuster "The Adam Project." While details about the plot are scarce, it is evident that the film delves into the multiverse, as Deadpool makes his entrance into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) for the first time after a series of solo movies produced under Fox.

In addition to Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds reprising their roles, familiar faces like Morena Baccarin and Brianna Hildebrand will return for "Deadpool 3." The movie also introduces new cast members, including Emma Corrin and Matthew Macfadyen. Furthermore, fans will be thrilled to learn that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra, marking her return after a nearly 20-year hiatus since the 2005 spinoff movie and her appearance in Ben Affleck's "Daredevil" in 2003.

Director Shawn Levy emphasized the importance of maintaining the franchise's R-rated edge, a crucial aspect he considered when accepting the directorial role. Despite being a Disney film, "Deadpool 3" will not shy away from curse words and raunchy humor, ensuring that the irreverent spirit of the character remains intact. The writers of the film, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, have also reassured fans that Disney fully supports preserving the franchise's R rating.

Marvel's collaboration with the "Deadpool" team has been marked by an encouraging and supportive approach. The writers mentioned that Disney has been incredibly accommodating, offering assistance and allowing them to use elements from their universe. They emphasized that Deadpool would be allowed to be true to his nature, rejecting any concerns about the character being diluted or "Disney-fied."

Fans can mark their calendars for the theatrical release of "Deadpool 3" on May 3, 2024. The film promises to be an exciting continuation of the beloved franchise, combining the irreverent humor and action-packed adventure that audiences have come to expect from Deadpool, all while integrating him into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe.
