The rumored yellow costume for Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) in Deadpool 3 is real and Ryan Reynolds has confirmed the costume change for Logan in a new photo. The Merc with a Mouth star shared a still of Deadpool and the claw-wielding X-Men in a side-by-side buddy cop-Esque shot. The third installment is currently in production in London.
Deadpool 3 may have just shattered the internet with the Wolverine suit reveal. The first-look image does not show Logan wearing the headgear, unlike the comic interpretations. Though fret not as according to insider reports, Wolverine will don the full comic-accurate suit.
Unfortunately, eagle-eyed fans cannot dig deep for a closer look since Reynolds shared a low-res still of the shot via his Instagram stories. Nonetheless, the costume shares traits with Logan’s look from the X-Men 97 animated series. The noticeable black strips are similar to the famous costume design. Furthermore, the wrist glove is also equipped with exit points for Logan’s Adamantium claws.
The belt buckle also seems to sport the symbol X similar to the Merc with a mouth’s costume showing the Deadpool face mask design. The high collar and long sleeves with blue accents all indicate references from the 97 series or 2003’s Astonishing X-Men comic run.

Since first playing the role in 2000, this will be the first time Hugh Jackman dons the comic-accurate costume. Even so, the star still got a reference to the costume in a deleted scene from X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Logan’s costume reveal is far from being the last big attire unveil from the third film since multiple X-Men characters are reportedly making an appearance. Earlier this week, it was reported Elektra is one of those additions.
The threequel is expected to film until September so there is the possibility for paparazzi to come across other superheroes in their costumes, possibly even Channing Tatum’s Gambit. In fact, Deadpool’s new vibrant design leaked through set photos. Moreover, its also possible set stills could reveal Jackman with the full attire.
Directed by Shawn Levy, Deadpool 3 will not see the return of characters from the sequel namely Zazie Beetz and Josh Brolin. But the movie is expected to see Karan Soni reprise Dopinder, Emma Corrin plays an undisclosed role, Shioli Kutsuna‘s Yukio and Brianna Hildebrand‘s Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Stefan Kapicic as Colossus are expected to return.

I think Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine suit is a MASSIVE improvement from the comics Astonishing suit – aside from the sleeves & lack of a mask and a black belt
The colors are far better. Kid Kunal is screaming rn. This is insane. 10/10 pic.twitter.com/1Dnt9RIrn7

For anyone wondering, Jackman's Wolverine costume seems to be based primarily on John Cassaday's design for Astonishing X-Men (2004).
It is not the classic suit from Giant-Size X-Men #1 that was later made iconic by X-Men: The Animated Series, as people seem to be assuming. https://t.co/TSuVdrjjro pic.twitter.com/t3WF2E4xNd
