Comic book fans have waited literally decades to see Wolverine don his classic costume on screen, and after that big tease in The Wolverine over a decade ago, it's finally going to happen in Deadpool 3.
A first look at that threequel showed Hugh Jackman wearing Logan's yellow and blue suit, with a design pulled straight from the source material. However, the character's iconic mask was absent and plenty of fans are now wondering if it won't actually be brought to the screen next year.
Well, a reliable insider has chimed in to make it clear Wolvie is getting his mask.
"I can confirm with ABSOLUTE certainty that Hugh Jackman's Wolverine will indeed have a comic-accurate mask with big fins AND white eyes in [Deadpool 3]," they reveal, no doubt putting many minds at ease in the process.
We don't know how much screentime it will receive, of course, and wouldn't be surprised if Jackman only wears it briefly. At this point, we'll take what we can get and Ryan Reynolds deserves a lot of credit for not only convincing Jackman to return but for getting him to suit up as well.
Alongside Reynolds and Jackman, Deadpool franchise vets Karan Soni (Dopinder), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Stefan Kapicic (Colossus), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead), Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio), and Rob Delaney (Peter) are all also set to return in this threequel.
Emma Corrin has also signed up as a mystery villain, while Matthew Macfadyen will likely play a TVA agent named Paradox in the movie. It's also been confirmed that Jennifer Garner will reprise her role as Elektra, and Ben Affleck, James Marsden, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen are among the many names rumoured to appear.
Deadpool 3 is set to be released in theaters on May 3, 2024.
