DEADPOOL AND WOLVERINE: Does Hugh Jackman Wear The Mask - And Was It Worth The 20+ Year Wait? - SPOILERS

Fans have been waiting a very long time to see Hugh Jackman suit-up in the classic yellow and blue costume, but does he also don the mask? Find out here...

We never thought we'd get the chance to see Hugh Jackman don Wolverine's classic blue and yellow costume from the comics when he "retired" as the character after James Mangold's Logan in 2017, but the first promotional image for Deadpool and Wolverine let everyone know that the actor would finally suit-up for his MCU debut.

Spoilers follow.

We knew he'd wear the costume, but what about the mask? As you probably figured thanks to a plethora of promo art, Jackman does indeed don the cowl, but not until much later on in the movie.

As Logan and the Merc With a Mouth prepare to fight their way through the Deadpool Corps to Madonna's "Like a Prayer," we get a slow-motion shot of Jackman reaching back and pulling on the mask. He keeps it on for quite a while, and we get one amazing shot of both heroes jumping through a pane of glass as Wolvie strikes a classic pose from the comics.

So, was it worth the 20+ year wait? We'll leave that up to you, but honestly, the moment is so well handled and given such respect (maybe reverence is more accurate) that it's difficult to imagine any Wolverine fan not being thoroughly satisfied.

Let us know what you thought of this scene in the comments section down below.

Deadpool and Wolverine currently sits at 80% on Rotten Tomatoes with 247 reviews counted, but it has a near-perfect audience score of 97%.

Have you been to see Deadpool and Wolverine yet? If so, what did you think? Check out our review here, and drop us a comment down below.

The MPAA recently gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."

“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”

In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

The movie is set to open in U.S. & Canadian theaters on July 26, and will be available in IMAX, RealD 3D, Dolby Cinema, 4DX, Cinemark XD and premium screens everywhere. Will you be checking out Deadpool and Wolverine opening weekend? Let us know in the comments section.

YES! Yes the [frick], it was!

ObserverIO - 7/27/2024, 9:18 AM

@Spoken -

UniqNo - 7/27/2024, 9:33 AM

@Spoken - some shots it looked amazing. The mask up scene, so so, the wind resistance blow job handles line was a killer. 🤣

All in all, yeah was worthy

Spoken - 7/27/2024, 9:36 AM

@ObserverIO -

Spoken - 7/27/2024, 9:38 AM

@UniqNo - Yeah, some shots were obvious CGI, but the fact that we finally see it. So worth it! I can’t wait to see more.

UniqNo - 7/27/2024, 9:53 AM

@Spoken - Yeah, the whited out eyes didn't work for me in the same way that Deadpool's do, like when he's talking to someone, but I guess I'm also just not used to it...yet.

Spoken - 7/27/2024, 9:55 AM

@UniqNo - I didn’t mind the whited out eyes that much honestly but I can see where you are coming from. Would have be cool if they went the Batman route on the cowl, and give him makeup around the eyes.

But either or I’m fine with.

captainwalker - 7/27/2024, 10:48 AM

@Spoken - Don't care, I do understand he attends spirit cooking events with that [foo foo] lady ga ga.

Spoken - 7/27/2024, 10:57 AM

@captainwalker - Whatever the hell that means. OK.

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 9:16 AM

Nope. Did not care for the costume nor the mask. But i did care about the writing and it sucks

TheGreenRanger - 7/27/2024, 9:24 AM

@vectorsigma - warning! Warning! Smooth brain alert! Smooth brain alert!

FrankenDad - 7/27/2024, 10:02 AM

@vectorsigma - Oh mom, we told you not to go to these movies. They’re too much for you.

DaHULK2000 - 7/27/2024, 10:40 AM

@vectorsigma - agree

The white eyes might work for a living cartoon character like Deadpool..but it looks ridiculous on Wolverine. Huge blunder

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 11:29 AM

@DaHULK2000 - and the scene where they busted out of the bus ALMOST reached The Flash levels of cgi

DaHULK2000 - 7/27/2024, 11:49 AM

@vectorsigma - yes..I think when these guys design these costumes..they forget that this stuff has to live and breath in reality..and actually look good on film..but when post production(cgi) dominates every aspect of the filmmaking process("we'll fix it in "post".) Your left with situations like this.

Superheromoviefan - 7/27/2024, 9:22 AM

not really. for all the hype and the gorgeous costumes, the movie was made for disney plus like quantumania

TrentCrimm - 7/27/2024, 9:25 AM

Absolutely it was worth the wait!

The movie is as no stakes as it gets, and in my opinion that's ok, it's not going to blow you away with the plot by any stretch of the imagination, it's a movie that hopes you'll just sit back and have fun, and damn I had fun watching this movie .

ShimmyShimmyYA - 7/27/2024, 9:32 AM

@TrentCrimm - can’t say no stakes cause losing his universe was the entire reason he was doing anything

DaHULK2000 - 7/27/2024, 10:46 AM

@ShimmyShimmyYA - yes...but it all feels so tired..so much so that it just seems like a tacked on afterthought to everything else..Deadpool and wolverine saving a universe as a concept is just crap

ShimmyShimmyYA - 7/27/2024, 10:56 AM

@DaHULK2000 - that’s fair , it was a fine movie for me, I’m not super into the Deadpool stuff so

DaHULK2000 - 7/27/2024, 11:02 AM

@ShimmyShimmyYA - Me ether..I dont like the x-men ip being used as a vehicle to create lame comedys like this one.

BigPhilbowski - 7/27/2024, 11:21 AM

@TrentCrimm - saving his universe, and by the end stopping Casandra from destroying the entire multiverse, MCU included, is fairly high stakes

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 11:32 AM

@DaHULK2000 - i agree in this

I was saying a few days back how this movie used the multiverse and didnt have any major mcu implications

Wouldve been better if they just went small and went against silver samurai or omega red. These world ending events are not for this duo

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 11:35 AM

@BigPhilbowski - there were stakes but it wasnt executed well imo.

Like both surviving an annihilation event and the universe healing without an acnhor through a magical reason.

I even heard the lame excuse "this is a 4th wall breaking deadpool movie, what do you expect?"

DaHULK2000 - 7/27/2024, 11:55 AM

@vectorsigma - The only time that stuff works is when you actually have a decent story to go with it..Age Of Apocalypse is a great example of a alternative reality/multverse story that works because it was competently built on strong narrative foundations and above all knew how to use each of its characters to maximum effect. I'd love a 3 hour stand alone adaptation of that.

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 12:02 PM

@DaHULK2000 - that's a great example! Still the best xmen movie for me. Because it well made, it is compelling and memorable.

D&w will go down as a forgettable film after a few months

TheMetaMan - 7/27/2024, 12:08 PM

@TrentCrimm - Awww look at you. Finally got your little moment with the mask, a moment you waited so long for. Bless you. I’m happy it lived up to your expectations. Thank God you are not complaining about the mask not being featured for too long or not having the right design/aesthetic etc. I’m happy when people attain satisfaction and fulfilment for something that means so much to them.

MarkCassidy - 7/27/2024, 9:28 AM

As a long-time Wolverine fan, this got me in the feels. I loved the movie overall but can totally understand some of the criticisms... but this moment was handled perfectly.

WhatIfRickJames - 7/27/2024, 10:19 AM

@MarkCassidy - literally ripped from the pages of a comic book for me.

IAmAHoot - 7/27/2024, 9:32 AM

Absolutely worth the wait! Overall for the whole duration of the sequence, some shots of the fully CGI mask were more noticeable than others, but nothing worth complaining about. Can't wait to watch it again!

MotherGooseUPus - 7/27/2024, 9:37 AM

was it worth it...

100% Absolutely it was

xfan320 - 7/27/2024, 9:42 AM

I had a good time and the movie could have used a few tweaks to the story, but overall, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience that had a focused and simple narrative that could be easily tracked in a multiversal adventure.

I feel like more should have been explored with Cassandra Nova and her base/compound.

Also, trailers should have left out a lot of the cameos. The surprises were the best parts of the film.

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 9:42 AM

To those rewatching this.

Pay atrention on how Evans wasnt with Reynolds and Jackman on all scenes he is in.

This is one of the annoying marvel staples nowadays and it really sucks.

So the strategy is cameos and nostalgia and they cant even get the actors together in a scene.

ObserverIO - 7/27/2024, 10:30 AM

@vectorsigma - There was an article yesterday where Evans said he flew down and shot all his stuff in a day, with Reynolds and Jackman.

Not all actors have to be in the shot at the same time. That's not how filmmaking works.

Vigor - 7/27/2024, 10:48 AM

@vectorsigma - stooooop

DaHULK2000 - 7/27/2024, 10:52 AM

@ObserverIO - ummm..does it ever cross your mind that not only are these people paid to "act"..buy also LIE as well..they even admit it in the press junkets openly..why don't you us your brain man..or, more importantly.. your heart. These people are practically slaves to these corporations at this point..why do you belive and expect that these people are REQUIRED to be honest to you or anyone else who isn't directly paying them.

ObserverIO - 7/27/2024, 11:01 AM

@DaHULK2000 - you're right it's a massive evil conspiracy about whether or not Evans shot all his scenes with Reynolds and Jackman or not.

theprophet - 7/27/2024, 11:07 AM

@vectorsigma - ok bro we get you didn't like the movie, you're dead ass on every article telling us all the flaws in the movie....no movie is perfect dude get over it and go cry to your lil clique about how back the writing and the movie was...you're not gonna change the minds of the other 97% that enjoyed it.

vectorsigma - 7/27/2024, 11:17 AM

@ObserverIO - just rewatch and see.

As ive mentioned before, that might be the case but a change in direction and reshoots during post prod and the actors have other commitments might be the cause

BigPhilbowski - 7/27/2024, 11:23 AM

@vectorsigma - I mean you're completely wrong, as confirmed by Evans himself, but go on with your moaning
