Wolverine’s new costume in Deadpool & Wolverine may have some secret plot reasons behind the design changes made to the suit and its features.
Why Has Marvel Studios Kept Wolverine’s Mask Hidden For So Long?
It’s somewhat confusing as to why Marvel Studios hasn’t yet shown offWolverine’s iconic mask in live-action, particularly since the rest of his comic-accurate costume has received a lot of attention.There is a huge amount of excitement to finally see Hugh Jackman suit up in the legendary yellow-and-blue costume from Marvel Comics, and this includes the helmet. It would have generated even more buzz, had Marvel Studios shown Jackman in the mask, but it seems this detail will be kept hidden untilDeadpool & Wolverine’supcoming release.
What makes this even more baffling is the fact thatofficial merch forDeadpool & Wolverineis smattered with images of Wolverine in the mask. This seems to prove that he will sport the iconic helmet in the actual movie.Given the fact that audiences have already seen Hugh Jackman in the mask on the merch, it wouldn’t have been too big of a reveal to see him in the cowl inDeadpool & Wolverine’strailers. Nevertheless, Marvel Studios has still declined to show this piece of the costume.
Of course, keeping the mask hidden means it will create an even bigger moment in theaters when Wolverine dons it.Deadpool & Wolverineis set to be one of the MCU’s biggest projects ever, and isexpected to be packed full of many more surprises than what viewers have seen in the trailers. The official reveal of Wolverine’s mask will only be one of these surprises, and may even be one of the smaller ones, though it will still be amazing to see Hugh Jackman in a complete and comic-accurate Wolverine costume for the first time ever.
