Marvel Studios has started ramping up Deadpool & Wolverine's marketing campaign, and Iron Studios has today shared a first look at an upcoming 1/10th scale statue.
As you'll see below, it depicts Wade Wilson (Ryan Reynolds), Logan (Hugh Jackman), and Dogpool in a pretty unique way. Does this mean we can expect Wolverine to actually carry Deadpool like this at some point in the threequel? We really hope so.
By now, we've seen a fair bit of Wolverine's costume, but this statue has the distinct honour of showing us what it looks like from behind. There's nothing much to write home about in that respect (it's not rocking a big "X" logo or anything), but it's an overall great design.
Of course, it raises the question of how Marvel Studios plans on matching this when they introduce Earth-616's Wolverine in the eventual X-Men reboot. Perhaps that Variant will don Logan's brown suit.
"We almost did it in The Wolverine," Jackman recently said of finally wearing a comic-accurate costume as the clawed mutant. "But 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. I was like, 'That’s him.'"
"There are different sides of Wolverine we haven't seen before in the movies. It was exciting for me."
Hopefully, this is the start of more merchandise reveals as we know many of you are keen for a first look at the Marvel Legends and Hot Toys figures based on the movie. You can see the first wave of Funko Pops by clicking here.
