Fans have always wanted to see Wolverine in a costume that matches the comics. However, the new yellow and blue suit in the Deadpool & Wolverine movie has sparked a big debate among Marvel fans, reigniting the discussion over the perfect Wolverine look.

A Long-Awaited Dream Fulfilled is Not So Cherished by Fans

For years, Wolverine fans have hoped to see him in his classic comic book outfit. The brown and black suits Hugh Jackman wore in the earlier X-Men movies felt like a missed chance. Wolverine could have looked amazing in a true superhero costume, but it seemed like Fox Studios was too cautious to go all out with the comic book look.

A deleted scene from The Wolverine showed a sneak peek of a yellow and brown costume that looked more like the comics. However, it never made it to the big screen. Fans were left frustrated and still hoping to see Wolverine in his classic outfit someday.

With the merger of Fox and Disney, hopes were high that Marvel Studios might finally give Wolverine the costume he deserved. And they did. However, the execution has proven to be a double-edged sword.

While the new suit is definitely comic-accurate, its bright colors and bold design have split fans. Some feel the brown suit from previous films suited Wolverine better. Check out some fan reactions:

Even though fans are excited to see Wolverine back on screen, the suit remains a divisive element of the film.

Deadpool & Wolverine made waves even before the movie hit theaters. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, the film is the first R-rated superhero movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But it was not just the film’s rating that has got everyone excited. It’s Wolverine’s costume that has stolen the show.

Hugh walking out in the yellow and blue, I mean, there were grown men like sobbing on the set.

She described the moment as “mind-blowing” and knew instantly that they were working on something truly special.
