‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Crew Members “Sobbed” When Hugh Jackman First Put on Wolverine’s Iconic Yellow Suit
When Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in theaters next Friday, fans will finally get the chance to see Hugh Jackman’s X-Man wear his iconic yellow costume.
Despite the fact that Jackman has played Wolverine in nine different films since 1999’s X-Men, he has never donned the mutant’s comic-accurate suit.

According to the actor, when the original X-Men movies were released, “everyone was in black leather.”
“Part of my brain was institutionalized that that’s the way it is,” Jackman recalled.

Kevin Feige Told Jackman He Had to Wear Wolverine’s Yellow Suit
According to Deadpool & Wolverine director Shawn Levy, Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige told Jackman that if he was going to return as Wolverine, he needed to wear the yellow suit.
“Hugh Jackman having never appeared in the character’s most iconic suit is like being Superman in 10 movies and never wearing the Superman costume,” Feige told Variety. “It’s a testament to Wolverine that it didn’t necessarily matter; the character is more than the costume.”

“When I realized Hugh was in, I went from studio mode to ‘you know you gotta get in the yellow outfit, right?’” he added.
When he finally put on Wolverine’s comic-accurate suit, Jackman admitted that it just felt right.

“As soon as I put [the yellow suit] on, I couldn’t believe I never had before,” he said.
Crew Members “Sobbed”
In a recent interview with the HeyUGuys podcast, Deadpool & Wolverine executive producer Wendy Jacobson, adult men on the crew were “sobbing” when they first saw Jackman in the iconic yellow and blue costume.
“It was one of the craziest things,” Jacobson said. “It was the camera test. And It was before we started shooting. To see both of those guys, first of all, in costume together was just mind-blowing, but Hugh walking out in the yellow and blue, I mean, there were grown men, like, sobbing on set. So we knew it was a special, very special thing.”

Jacobson’s observations echo Ryan Reynolds’s comments about Jackman donning the iconic Wolverine suit.
“I’ve never seen a crew reaction like that,” Ryan Reynolds told Variety. “We barely talked about the suit in the early development because it was a no-brainer. You don’t do this character now unless he’s in the suit.”
