Deadpool 3 star Hugh Jackman may have leaked a Wolverine suit photo that could reveal a possible costume change towards a more comics-accurate look than previously seen.

Deadpool 3 electrified Marvel fans when it was announced that legendary Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman would reprise his iconic role in the film alongside Ryan Reynolds. While Deadpool 3 was originally envisioned as a road trip, that idea was shelved when the film was integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a bold move for the kid-friendly franchise.

Moon Knight’s return to the MCU won’t be when or how fans expect if the latest rumor about Marvel Studios’ plans for the character is accurate.

While the actor’s return to the iconic role had some people questioning what the point of Wolverine’s send-off in Logan was in light of the character’s Deadpool 3 appearance, the vast majority of fans were just happy to see Jackman again and began speculating about his role and appearance in the upcoming film. With filming on Deadpool 3 recently wrapped, Jackman took to his account on X to post pictures of his celebratory shave, including one with a view of some thumbnails from his gallery. On closer inspection, one of these images showing Jackman in an embrace with a cast member reveals the actor in costume but without the arm sleeves seen in other images released, a costume design that more closely mirrors his suit’s style in almost every comic book appearance.

In addition to the missing sleeve, the image also features what appears to be much smaller handwear in place of the stylized gloves that Logan tends to sport when in full uniform, and that has been present in promo material up until now. As such, it is possible that the star took off the sleeves and gloves of the costume between takes or after filming. Still, the possibility that Wolverine will be bare-armed is quite appealing because Deadpool 3 is the closest fans have ever gotten to a comics-accurate suit for the character, except for including the sleeves. However, considering that the sleeves were present in what seemed to be a behind-the-scenes look at a Deadpool 3 fight scene, the odds that the sleeves have been scrapped in favor of the bare arms approach are vanishingly slim.

Whether or not the costume has been updated to fit better with the comics, Deadpool 3 is still easily one of 2024’s most highly anticipated sequels and will likely get fans excited on release regardless. How many sneak peeks that fans have seen up until this point (much to the chagrin of the film’s leading man) will make it into the final film is still unknown, so everyone will have to wait patiently for the launch as per Reynolds’ instructions.

Deadpool 3 is set for theatrical release on July 26, 2024.
