Logan Director Reveals Why Hugh Jackman Never Wore Wolverine’s Mask

by

After 17 beautiful years, Hugh Jackman said goodbye to his role as Wolverine. But much to some fans’ disappointment, the Australian actor never fully suited up in the yellow and blue spandex like his comic book counterpart in all the nine movies he shot as the iconic member of the X-Men. In a recent Logan quarantine watch, director James Mangold revealed why the actor never put on the mask in his last movie in the X-Men franchise.

“He never put it on,” he wrote. “We never even made a version of the outfit. Everything about his character as I understand it, would keep him from donning a self promoting “uniform”. I’m sure the next incarnation of the Wolverine will go there.” Though the Frank Miller yellow and brown outfit made a cameo in a cut scene from The Wolverine, it was never wearable.
