“Like the rest of the world, I’ve waited two decades to see Wolverine in a whole movie with Deadpool, and I don’t know if this is our last shot at Wolverine on screen. So, I was going to make goddamned sure we get the old yellow and blue just once, and that we get it right.”
Apart from Jackman’s iconic portrayal of the character, one of the most crucial things is his yellow-and-blue suit, which is the identity of Wolverine. Levy wanted to make sure that Wolverine’s costume was impeccable. The director said,
“[We went through] multiple, multiple, multiple iterations and fittings. It also helps that I’m making this movie within the MCU, so I have access to an army of the nerdiest nerds available to a Marvel project.”
