An exclusive Deadpool 3 promotional image has unveiled Hugh Jackman adorned in his Wolverine mask. While previous Deadpool 3 set photos showcased Jackman's stylish new costume, fans eagerly awaited the reveal of his mask, and their patience has finally been rewarded.
Set to hit theaters on July 26, 2024, Deadpool 3 will see the return of Wolverine alongside the titular character, marking his first appearance in the franchise since 2017's Logan. As one of the most anticipated sequels in 2024, the film will follow the unlikely collaboration between the two superheroes as they unite to confront a formidable foe. In line with Deadpool's faithful costume adaptation from the comics, fans were thrilled to witness Wolverine donning a suit that pays homage to its original design. However, the appearance of his mask remained a mystery until now.
A leaked Deadpool 3 promotional image (via CorptanSpecklez) depicts the upper half of Jackman's figure in the iconic Wolverine attire, featuring a mask that faithfully replicates the character's comic portrayal. The individual who shared the leaked image also hinted at the anticipated release of the Deadpool 3 trailer during the Super Bowl on February 11, 2024. This costume marks a departure from Wolverine's most recent appearance in Logan, where the character was depicted in everyday clothing. Nonetheless, the Deadpool 3 rendition of Wolverine's costume is a fitting and respectful representation, particularly when juxtaposed with Deadpool, who also sports a faithful comic-inspired suit in the Deadpool movies.
Fans can explore Deadpool 3 set photos capturing Deadpool and Wolverine in action, albeit without Wolverine's mask. These images capture the duo filming what appears to be a battle scene on a beach. The depiction of the superheroes in authentic comic-based costumes signifies a significant milestone in the evolution of superhero attire in films. While superhero movies initially featured faithful costume adaptations, subsequent portrayals often embraced edgier or more contemporary renditions of the original designs.
There are lingering queries surrounding the manner and rationale behind Wolverine's return in Deadpool 3, with reports suggesting the involvement of the MCU's multiverse storyline in justifying the character's reappearance. Nevertheless, fans are eagerly anticipating the return of Wolverine and Deadpool in their classic guises.
Deadpool 3 is scheduled to premiere in theaters on July 26, 2024.
