LOGAN Director James Magnold Confirms Hugh Jackman Never Donned Classic Suit From THE WOLVERINE

In a deleted scene from The Wolverine, Logan was presented with a version of his classic costume, but director James Mangold has confirmed that it's not a suit Hugh Jackman ever actually put on...

In what has to have been one of the coolest superhero movie deleted scenes of all-time, The Wolverine once featured Hugh Jackman's clawed mutant being presented with his classic costume. 

Fans spent years hoping Jackman would don this outfit on screen, but the closest we've seen were a couple of black "pleather" numbers which didn't exactly pay homage to the comics. Unfortunately, by the time Logan rolled around, it was clear that Wolverine was never going to suit up, even though there were plenty of theories about how a costume could actually help with his failing healing factor.

For those of you hoping there might be some photos lying around of Jackman wearing that costume from the end of The Wolverine, Mangold has taken to Twitter to both debunk that, and to explain why he believes it just didn't make sense for the character to dress like a superhero. 

It's undeniably disappointing that we'll never get to see Jackman sporting that iconic costume, of course, but as Mangold quite rightly points out, it's highly likely that whoever takes up the mantle of Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe will suit-up.

James Mangold seems to really hate super-suits, haha. Great film-maker though.

Although I do think he's wasting his time with Indiana Jones 5. That project sounds superfluous at best.

Not gonna lie I thought the Black Leather suit looked great in some parts.

TERRIBLE I'm glad Hugh Jackman is gone for good. I never felt he was the Wolverine.

Thats a bummer, but I do understand why he made the choice. And speaking of The Wolverine, it's definitely up there with my favorite X-men movies

I don't disagree with him but...here's the thing, Logan is a man of MANY contradictions, so...

Sure, especially the X-Force costume, stealth-wise it makes perfect sense.
But this is just ONE character and basically every X-Man has his/her own suit...ALL KINDS of costumes!
Certain characters don't even need protection because they are strong af.
And sometimes their body is barely covered.
So it's better not to overthink it, these are comicbook characters.

That's what i hope.

But to force logic into this...ehhh.

I mean, surely you guys are aware of the big ass X-Men roster.
No need to make sense of every little detail otherwise they might take the easy route and just slap those f*ckin Ultimate costumes for everybody.
In other words, no Wolvie in yellow spandex.

But we'll see, although i gotta say...even having this convo with you guys has me pumped af! :D

I'd be super ok with that!

"I really hope they are all diverse and unique though."
F*ck yeah, that's a must have!

Wolverine donning the costume would have completed his arc of wonderfully. It would show his growth from the sort of loner, individualist character we meet in the first film, to someone realizes and accepts what it means to be a part of a team. What it means to be an X-Man.

See 4:03.

LOGAN quite literally has at least 2 excuses for Wolverine to wear some or all of the costume within the damn narrative but it's not fair to ask Mangold to be something he's not, or to ask him to fix the franchises 15 year-long mistakes

Shame

"Everything about his character as I understand it, would keep him from donning a self promoting "uniform"."

Kinda always been issue with Wolverine. I'm hoping we could at least see him more comic accurate with the actor first THEN complain about the suit.
