I'm really digging the realistic take on the yellow suit. I think it works well.

Also, I hope there's going to be a scene where he rips the sleeves off. Long sleeved Logan feels wrong πŸ˜‚

[–] TheManIsInsane@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I was thinking the same exact thing. This looks to be based on John Cassaday's redesign from 2004 and that one leaves his forearms bare.

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 29 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I thought Hugh said he was done. Must have imagined it

[–] winebaths@lemmy.world 57 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think the dump truck full of cash convinced him otherwise

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That and maybe not needing to work out and/or dehydrate himself to be buff as hell for shots, if the body-covering yellow suit is anything to go off of.

[–] WaltJRimmer@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

If he doesn't have a topless/nude scene with Reynolds touching his chest for comedic effect, I'll be kind of disappointed. But really, I think he's doing this for a mixture of the tremendous Disney money and because he's friends with Reynolds.

[–] Radicalized@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He didn’t have to do that in the first place - he just wanted to. Hugh was really small in the first xmen movie and got bigger as they went along.

[–] flashmedallion 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's because standards changed

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You must not have seen many 80s action movies.

I guess they had talked about doing this movie awhile back but it wasn't really possible at the time with everything going on with the rights to movies/characters. They never really thought this would have been possible, but once Marvel took control over everything, it became a possibility and Ryan went to Hugh with the idea. He was a little reticent on doing it because he thought Logan was the perfect ending for character, but they said that it wouldn't alter the timeline of what happened in the movie so he agreed to do it.

I guess Reynolds and Jackman are buddies too which probably made the convincing a lot easier.

That and the dump truck full of cash that @winebaths referenced probably didn't hurt.

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Nice ! Thanks for the details

[–] AndrewZabar@beehaw.org 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah he was, but he agreed to reprise just for Ryan. And, well, y’know, money.

[–] ultimate_question@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My theory is that he's not actually playing Wolverine and him being in this movie is a big gag, like he's actually playing Deadpool's dad or some other character. I don't think any of the official announcements actually said anything other than Hughes Jackman is in it

[–] vinceman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hugh Jackman has been kidnapped by Deadpool

[–] Tyfud@lemmy.one 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a child who grew up watching 80's and 90's cartoons, specifically the X-Men TV Series. This looks fucking amazing, and I'm here for it.

Da na na naa na na, Da na na naa na na

[–] weksa@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Alright, I'll come clean, I sang that out loud.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I sang the following notes and rest of the song out loud

[–] SmurfDotSee@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Saturday morning Gambit in a movie(done right) would be sick AF.

[–] AnusBesamus@feddit.de 23 points 1 year ago

I can't imagine any other Wolverine than Hugh. It's crazy for how long and how many different universes he has contributed.

[–] FlashZordon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Oh my god Wolverine's suit exceeds my lofty expectations.

[–] Lordgeoffery@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Hugh Jackman will always and forever be Wolverine. Perfection

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

Was that so hard? It looks great.

Looking like ketchup and mustard

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

What would Hollywood be without sequels...

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] DmMacniel@feddit.de 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Frick... You got me there :D

[–] Flaky_Fish69@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

and remakes.

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Probably about the same, just with less money.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Well before sequels it was 100 westerns, two released every week. Lots of variety and innovation there.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Great costume design

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.one 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Even got the claw covers on the gloves!

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

But why's he got sleeves?

[–] andrewski@waveform.social 6 points 1 year ago

Are we sure that’s Ryan Reynolds and not the T-Mobile CEO? 🀨

[–] pyromaster55@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I love it. Apparently Jennifer Garner is coming back as Elektra as well.

Pretty excited about this.
