- Hugh Jackman is back in Deadpool & Wolverine
- Jackman speaks on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
- Jackman describes the moment he first wore the suit on set
After “Logan,” Hugh Jackman retired as Wolverine, and fans thought they’d never see him in the iconic costume again. However, this changed with “Deadpool & Wolverine.” While promoting the film on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Jackman recalled, “For 24 years people have been talking about it. It’s one of the first things Ryan said to me. I said I want to do it, he goes, ‘We’re gonna do the yellow and blue.’”
“I was like ‘Alright, I’m in.’ In my head I was like I don’t know if it’s gonna work. I just don’t know. As soon as I put it on, he had his Deadpool suit on I had mine.
He described the moment he first wore the suit on set: “A hundred crew members have done a hundred movies, seen everything. You could hear a pin drop. It was just a hush.”
Producer Wendy Jacobson also shared her perspective, calling it “one of the craziest things” during the camera test. “To see both of those guys in costume together was just mind-blowing. But Hugh walking out in the yellow and blue, there were grown men, like, sobbing on the set. So we knew it was a very special thing.”
