It was supposed to have cost $100 thousand to make!

[jo]

Here’s a perfect example: the brown and tan, we spent around $100,000 building that suit.

The high cost was eventually clarified: the suit was meticulously hand-crafted to fit Hugh Jackman perfectly.

Dean: Like I said, it’s one of those things that’ll stand the test of time. Just the costumers…it’s all handmade. It’s all done to an inch of Hugh’s body. To shoot it all as well.

Just like couture dresses -- everything is handmade and made to fit the wearer perfectly.

Can't remember if this is really a scene from the movie?

Every Wolverine Variant in Deadpool & Wolverine

Its no secret that a movie titled Deadpool & Wolverine is going to feature Wolverine as a leading character. Yet, what fans might not expect, is an abundance of Wolverines in a multiverse-hopping montage. Deadpool & Wolverine is a lot of fun, and its an MCU movie that isnt afraid to be its R-rated self and provides plenty of bloody violence and foul language: perfect for Wolverine.

All 41 Cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine
Deadpool & Wolverine features an abundance of cameos from across the Marvel Universe, and beyond.

As fans jump into the latest MCU outing, they can expect more than one Wolverine to pop up. Yet, those who are unfamiliar with the comics might want to learn more about what Wolverine variants show up in Deadpool & Wolverine so that they can better understand the exciting cameo choices.

Spoilers ahead for Deadpool & Wolverine!Updated on November 14, 2024, by Jake Fillery: Deadpool & Wolverine has had an enjoyable run at the theaters, but now it's time to bring the action home and experience the potty mouths of Deadpool and Wolverine and all their violent fury and fun with the movie now available on Blu-Ray and Disney Plus. With the movie now available everywhere, it's time to look back at all of the Wolverine cameos and variants that appear.

Logan
Hugh Jackman's Swan Song Returns As An Adamantium Corpse
Featured in: Logan (2017)
Despite Ryan Reynolds assuring fans that they wouldnt touch Logan (2017), its safe to say that he verbally and physically lied, for he does more than just touch Logan. He desecrates and defiles his corpse. The beginning of the film is a stark reminder that nothing is off limits with Deadpool, as Wade Wilson begins to dig up the grave of Hugh Jackmans Wolverine who died at the end of Logan (2017), complete with the scenic nature of North Dakota and the X that marks his grave as an X-Man.


Whilst this cameo isnt one that talks, it is one of importance, as this Wolverine was the anchor of Wades universe, and in death, his universe will slowly deteriorate over thousands of years. The Logan seen here is just an adamantium skeleton with some rotten flesh, with the tree that impaled him still in his chest.

Comic-Accurate Short-King Wolverine
A Wolverine That is Definitely Not 6 Foot Tall, Nor is He 5'3
One of the first Wolverines seen in the montage is Hugh Jackman, but this time, its more comic-accurate. As fans of the character might know, Wolverine is actually 53, and Hugh Jackman stands at a tall 62. The almost foot difference between the two might showcase a few inaccuracies in height, but in looks, mannerisms, and biceps, they are practically the same, which is why its hilarious and surprising to see a short king version of Wolverine.


Whilst this comic-accurate version of Wolverine is played for comedic effect, he certainly looks even smaller than 53, and perhaps its a meta-joke on how people over the years have said they want a shorter Wolverine compared to what they have with Hugh Jackman.

Age of Apocalypse Wolverine
A One-Handed Wolverine
Featured in: X-Men: Alpha #1 (December, 1994)
A wild hairdo and mutton chops greet Deadpool when he enters yet another universe in search of a Wolverine. This time, Deadpool finds himself on Earth-295, facing off against a rageful Wolverine amidst a dystopian future where humanity has been culled, and this worlds Wolverine, Weapon Omega, was its cause.

Wolverine's the best there is at what he does, and what that involves is a whole lot of violence, providing some brilliant Marvel comic runs.

This is a Wolverine that features in the comics as more feral and deadly in nature and uses the Weapon X alias over Wolverine. First appearing in 1994s X-Men: Alpha, this Wolverine would have his left hand replaced by adamantium in a battle against Cyclops, showcasing the dark future that awaits a potential Logan.


Patch
One Of Wolverine's Eyepatch-Wearing Disguises
Featured in: Marvel Comics Presents #10 (September, 1988)
Deadpool finds himself in a casino, where he comes face to face with another Wolverine variant (also, of course, played by Hugh Jackman). This variant wears a white suit with a black bowtie and has a striking eyepatch over his left eye. Even Deadpool seems to know who he is, as he immediately says hello by referring to this Wolverine as Patch.

In the comics, Patch is one of Wolverines hidden identities which he uses to infiltrate criminal circles whilst working as a vigilante in Madripoor. Its a fun throwback to the 80s and another cool look for Hugh Jackman to have to showcase Wolverines cool adventures in the comics.

Old Man Logan
A Different Side To Old Man Logan
Featured in: Wolverine #66 (June, 2008)
Old Man Logan was one of the more interesting stories of Marvel Comics, and it was brought to the pages by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. It's clear as day that this is Old Man Logan, thanks to the rugged and leathery skin, the hat, and the secluded cabin in the forest that shows a Wolverine who is finished with the violence and the need for his claws.

A Logan that seems straight out of the Old West, it's clear that this is a Logan from a distant future due to how he actually has a car in his yard and a shotgun that he happily uses to blast Deadpool away. Seeing a comic-accurate Old Man Logan could spell for a neat movie now that the X-Men have free reign of Hulk, Hawkeye, and many others.

Crucified Wolverine
A Wolverine Crucified On A Giant X Surrounded by Skulls
Featured in: Uncanny X-Men #251 (July, 1989)
Dropping into another universe, Wolverine finds himself in a rainy location filled with bloodied skulls. Whilst the sight of an ocean of skulls is scary enough, he looks up to find Wolverine crucified on a giant yellow X. This is a classic nod to the Marc Silvestri comic cover for Uncanny X-Men #251, which depicts Wolverine in a tragedy.

Its one of the most iconic Wolverine comic covers of all time. The cover even has some story implications inside Uncanny X-Men #251, where Wolverine is hung from a wooden X by the Reavers and is deeply haunted by hallucinations. Now the last thing he needs is a Deadpool looking in on that hallucination.

Classic John Byrne Brown and Tan Wolverine
A Beloved Classic Color Scheme Faces off Against the Hulk
Featured in: Uncanny X-Men #139 (November, 1980)
Famed writer and artist John Byrne gets a name drop from Deadpool when he enters into another Wolverines world. This is the first variant audiences see with a comic-accurate costume, and its the classic yellow and brown outfit that was designed by John Byrne when he arrived on the X-Men scene back in the 80s.

Not only is it awesome to see Hugh Jackman in the classic brown-ochre Wolverine suit that was teased in a deleted end scene of The Wolverine (2013), but its also a Wolverine that gets to fight the Incredible Hulk. Even if fans dont get to see the fight, its a brilliant homage to Wolverines first appearance.

Henry Cavill's Wolverine
The DCEU's Superman Becomes the Cavillrine
One of the most exciting cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine comes in the form of a tall and muscular actor, one that fans might not expect. For the first time in 24 years, Wolverine is played by another person in live-action, and of course, its none other than Henry Cavill. Cavill looks the part, and its great to see him again, and even Deadpool cant help but make a sly joke at DCs expense for how they treated the former Superman of the DCEU who received one solo movie and a bundle of post-credit teasers.

Henry Cavills voice and mannerisms as Wolverine are brief, but its clear that he is the right fit for the character, especially with his bulging biceps that he reloads to punch Deadpool back through a TVA time door. This Wolverine is so cool that he even breaks Disneys no smoking policy, as he can be seen with a cigar in his mouth.




The Worst Wolverine
A Wolverine That Let Down His Entire World, But Saved Another

Featured inThe main Wolverine for Deadpool & Wolverine is also known as the Worst Wolverine, a mutant who lets down his entire world. This version of Wolverine has an expansive backstory that expresses tragedy and regret and also explains his spiraling alcoholism. Its a Wolverine that hates himself and cant see himself as a hero for the things he has done.


Nevertheless, its the Wolverine that Deadpool is stuck with, and one that just might be able to redeem himself to prove that even if he is the wrong guy, he doesnt have to be, and he can be the hero that the X-Men knew he could be for them and the world. Even better still, it's the first time audiences get to see Hugh Jackman's Wolverine wear the yellow and blue comic suit, complete with the cowl.

From Screen Rant -
by Richard Craig

Deadpool & Wolverine featured a swathe of Wolverine variants from his cinematic history and the pages of Marvel Comics. Deadpool & Wolverine marked Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s entry into the MCU timeline as the iconic titular duo, while also celebrating the early years of Marvel movies produced by 20th Century Fox. Through its wild multiverse narrative, Deadpool encounters a litany of alternate Wolverines, many of whom are based directly on iconic moments from the X-Men comics.

Deadpool & Wolverine depicts Deadpool on a mission to save his universe from collapsing, using it as a metaphor for the termination of Fox’s X-Men movie timeline following Disney’s acquisition of Fox. As such, a series of cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine celebrates Marvel movie history, dismantled by Deadpool’s trademark fourth-wall-breaking wit. Early in the movie, Deadpool embarks on a mission to locate a Wolverine variant to replace the one from Fox’s X-Men movies, leading him into a thrilling montage of comic-accurate Wolverine variants and meta references.

The Worst Wolverine
Played By: Hugh Jackman

Who Is The Worst Wolverine: The "Worst" Wolverine is the main version of Logan that Hugh Jackman portrays throughout the film's runtime.

The primary Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine is distinct from Jackman's iconic Wolverine from the X-Men movies, who, as the opening sequence made painfully clear, is definitely dead. Instead, the main Wolverine in the movie is referred to throughout as the "Worst Wolverine" in the multiverse. This version is a stark departure from his predecessors, consumed by guilt over the deaths of the X-Men and his failure to save them. This anguish drives him into alcoholism and an even more abrasive personality.


The "Worst Wolverine" is marked by his penchant for profanity, exceeding any previous cinematic depiction of the character. His language is rougher, his demeanor more cynical, and his outlook far bleaker. This incarnation of Wolverine is a man deeply scarred by his past, struggling to cope with his failures and the overwhelming burden of survivor's guilt. The "Worst Wolverine" offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into a hero broken by his experiences.


Fox's X-Men Franchise Wolverine
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Deadpool with Wolverine Skeleton in Deadpool & Wolverine
Who Is Fox's X-Men Franchise Wolverine: This is the original character Hugh Jackman portrayed for nearly two decades, who died in Logan.

The version of Wolverine from the X-Men movies does appear in Deadpool & Wolverine through flashbacks and on the Time Variance Authority's monitors. These glimpses offer a poignant reminder of his legacy, with a particular focus on his death in Logan. Although Logan is technically considered separate from the main X-Men movie timeline, Deadpool & Wolverine treats them like they are the same character, hailing from the same 20th Century Fox universe.

He is the “anchor being” whose death has caused the implosion of the X-Men movie timeline.

Deadpool & Wolverine repeatedly discusses and depicts Logan’s tragic and poignant sacrifice in Logan. Deadpool also explicitly references how Wolverine saved the universe on several occasions, recalling Wolverine’s exploits in X-Men: Days of Future Past. This version of Wolverine is revered and remembered for his courage and dedication. He is the “anchor being” whose death has caused the implosion of the X-Men movie timeline - referencing Hugh Jackman’s prominent place within Fox’s mutant timeline.


The Age Of Apocalypse Wolverine
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Age of Apocalypse Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine
Who Is Age Of Apocalypse Wolverine: This Wolverine is from the 90's X-Men event, "Age of Apocalypse" sporting only one hand and even wilder hair than usual.

One of the Wolverines that Deadpool encounters in Deadpool & Wolverine was based on the Wolverine from Marvel Comics' Age of Apocalypse event. This Wolverine is a striking variant, missing one of his hands, sporting an even more exaggerated version of his iconic haircut, and adorned with red markings on his face. This version of Wolverine provides a thrilling moment for savvy audiences, recognizing the deep cut from the celebrated comic book story.

Fox did an adaption with the movie X-Men: Apocalypse but Hugh Jackman was only in it for a brief scene.

The brief reference in Deadpool & Wolverine also offers a glimpse into the dystopian future ruled by the villain Apocalypse, an alternate world in which the tyrannical mutant prevailed in dominating the world. This Wolverine, hardened by his harsh reality, embodies a raw and brutal survival instinct, contrasting sharply with other iterations. This is likely why Deadpool couldn’t subdue him during his search for a Wolverine that would satisfy the TVA and Paradox’s agenda.


The Comic Accurate Height Wolverine
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Comic-accurate Height Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine
Who Is Comic Accurate Height Wolverine: Wolverine is only 5'3 in the comics, which is much shorter than Hugh Jackman, but this variant is hilariously closer to what he is supposed to be.

One of the funniest jokes in Deadpool & Wolverine comes when Deadpool encounters a Wolverine variant with a comic-accurate height. In the comics, Wolverine is established to be only five feet three inches tall, a detail often lost in the films where Hugh Jackman, standing at six foot two, portrays the character nearly a whole foot taller. In a hilarious twist, the movie lampoons this discrepancy by digitally shortening Jackman for one of the Wolverine variants.

Marvel Finally Admits It Made A Big Mistake In Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Casting
The MCU acknowledges the one mistake that was made when casting Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, giving fans a glimpse of what could have been.


Seeing the usually towering Jackman reduced to a much shorter stature is a great visual gag, especially for those familiar with comic book lore and Wolverine’s true size. Deadpool's reaction to this version of Wolverine highlights the humor in the height discrepancy and how absurd a comic-accurate height for Wolverine would look on screen. This is one of several examples in Deadpool & Wolverine of Wolverine having a comic-accurate appearance for the very first time. However, it is the only one that highlights how some elements that work well in the comics do not always translate as effectively to cinema.


Wolverine's Alter Ego Patch
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Patch in Deadpool & Wolverine
Who Is Patch: Wolverine adopts an alter ego named Patch in the X-Men comics, sporting a nice suit and eye patch.

Patch was one of the deep-cut Wolverine variants in Deadpool & Wolverine. This version appears during the Wolverine variant montage. He is depicted playing poker, wearing an all-white suit, and sporting an eye patch. Like many other variants, this one proved to be uncooperative with Deadpool’s mission. In Marvel Comics, Patch is an identity Wolverine adopts while in the fictional city of Madripoor while the X-Men are out of action.

Patch first appeared in the 1980s, during a storyline where Wolverine needed to operate under the radar. The eye patch and elegant white suit allowed him to navigate Madripoor's criminal underworld discreetly, engaging in espionage and combat without revealing his true identity. The 2022 solo comic run Patch brought the character variation into further prominence, highlighting the character’s alcoholism and penchant for gambling. Deadpool & Wolverine meticulously replicate Patch's iconic look, serving as a delightful Easter egg for comic book enthusiasts.


Henry Cavil's Wolverine
Played By: Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill with a cigar in his mouth as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine
Who Is Henry Cavill's Wolverine: The "Cavillrine" was born out of the popular fancast and long-running rumor that he would play Wolverine in the MCU.

One of the most surprising moments in Deadpool & Wolverine is Henry Cavill's unexpected cameo as a Wolverine variant. This version of Wolverine is seen fixing a motorcycle before turning around to reveal himself with Wolverine's famed hairstyle and chomping on a cigar. Deadpool humorously dubs this variant "Cavillrine." Cavill's casting here is primarily a playful nod to the ongoing fan-casting of him as Wolverine in the MCU.

Deadpool, true to form, breaks the fourth wall by suggesting that Cavill join them, quipping that they would treat him better than the people "down the street."

Though, of course, Cavill is better known for his portrayal of Superman in the DCEU. Cavill's appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine bridges the two major comic book universes in a tongue-in-cheek manner. Deadpool, true to form, breaks the fourth wall by suggesting that Cavill join them, quipping that they would treat him better than the people "down the street." This line mocks the DCEU's abrupt reboot and the numerous characters fans have suggested Cavill could play in the MCU.


Old Man Logan
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Dressed Up as Old Man Logan
Who Is Old Man Logan: This variant of Old Man Logan is a more accurate version of the character after being adapted in Logan.

Deadpool & Wolverine is notable for updating former X-Men movie characters with comic-accurate clothing - with Wolverine’s canary yellow suit being the main example. Another brief example is Old Man Logan, who served as one of the main sources for the movie Logan (along with The Death of Wolverine). This rendition of Wolverine hails from a dystopian future in a universe where Marvel villains have triumphed, creating a harsh and unforgiving landscape divided between them. He first appeared during Mark Millar’s famed tenure writing the Wolverine comic before receiving several solo publications.

Fox reinterpreted Old Man Logan slightly for Logan, but he is portrayed more faithfully in Deadpool & Wolverine. Old Man Logan is depicted wearing the character's distinctive hat and coat while sitting on a porch on his farm in the wilderness. As Deadpool approaches, Wolverine swiftly reveals a shotgun and shoots him. The short scene was a fun reference to comics that have inspired the X-Men movies.


John Byrne's Yellow And Brown Wolverine
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Hugh Jackman Wearing John Byrne's Wolverine Costume
Who Is John Byrne's Yellow And Brown Wolverine: Byrne's yellow and brown Wolverine costume is beloved, and Hugh Jackman's version of the character is seen wearing the costume as he is about to fight the Hulk.

Wolverine’s yellow-and-blue suit is unquestionably his most famous outfit. However, during the golden era of Uncanny X-Men comics, Wolverine mostly wore a yellow and brown suit designed by legendary comic book artist John Byrne. The yellow and brown suit first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #139 and was intended to reflect a darker version of the character. Wolverine wore this suit throughout the majority of the 1980s and early 1990s and variations have appeared in X-Men comics for years since.

A Wolverine variant wearing the yellow and brown suit appeared during the Deadpool & Wolverine montage. Deadpool himself is in awe at his appearance, even name-checking Byrne in the process. Deadpool & Wolverine truly delivered on bringing Wolverine’s famous outfits after years of movies, opting for a relatively more realistic tone. In proffering a comic-accurate rendition of John Byrne’s designs, Deadpool & Wolverine celebrated Wolverine's history even further, with Deadpool’s excitement about each serving as a conduit for the audience.


Uncanny X-Men's Fever Dream Wolverine
Played By: Hugh Jackman
Crucified Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine
Who Is Uncanny X-Men's Fever Dream Wolverine: This Logan is crucified on an X, and subjected to a series of hallucinations.

During Deadpool & Wolverine’s montage through the Wolverine variants, Deadpool stumbles into a universe and finds himself among rain-soaked, bloodied skulls. He looks up and sees Wolverine crucified on a giant X, in perhaps the darkest and bleakest scene in the whole movie. This is a nod to the classic Marc Silvestri comic cover for Uncanny X-Men #251, which depicts Wolverine in this torturous predicament. The scene in Deadpool & Wolverine recreated the Uncanny X-Men cover with remarkable authenticity, capturing the harrowing image perfectly.

In the comic book story, titled “Fever Dream,” Wolverine is hung on the crucifix by the Reavers, and while hanging there, is subject to a series of haunting hallucinations. Considering the narrative, it’s a fun idea that the Fever Dream Wolverine variant met Deadpool in Deadpool & Wolverine and interpreted him simply as a hallucination. Nevertheless, it serves as a thrillingly obscure reference to one of the most iconic X-Men covers, reflecting Deadpool & Wolverine’s tireless efforts to celebrate the character.


Wolverine in Weapon X helmet in Marvel Comics
Despite featuring a plethora of Wolverine variants in Deadpool & Wolverine, there were still some that ended up finding themselves on the cutting room floor. Some of these include Wolverinepool, which is a variant mash-up of the two characters, Logan from the Wild C.A.T.S / X-Men Crossover, another version of Weapon X Logan, and an uncanny X-Baby Wolverine. Despite those that didn't make it, fans of Wolverine throughout his comic and film history, had a lot to look forward to during that multiverse montage in Deadpool & Wolverine.

[jo]

If they are continuing with the plans to submit Hugh Jackman's name for Best Supporting Actor ( which I do not necessarily agree with as it seems more like what observers say is "category fraud") --

this is the explanation that should go with the "For Your Consideration" submission plan.

Not just the Honda scene Wolverine rant --

but --

"The primary Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine is distinct from Jackman's iconic Wolverine from the X-Men movies, who, as the opening sequence made painfully clear, is definitely dead. Instead, the main Wolverine in the movie is referred to throughout as the "Worst Wolverine" in the multiverse. This version is a stark departure from his predecessors, consumed by guilt over the deaths of the X-Men and his failure to save them. This anguish drives him into alcoholism and an even more abrasive personality.


The "Worst Wolverine" is marked by his penchant for profanity, exceeding any previous cinematic depiction of the character. His language is rougher, his demeanor more cynical, and his outlook far bleaker. This incarnation of Wolverine is a man deeply scarred by his past, struggling to cope with his failures and the overwhelming burden of survivor's guilt. The "Worst Wolverine" offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into a hero broken by his experiences."

That encompasses the character that Hugh Jackman's potrayal gave life to!
