Leaked Marvel Boss's Remark: Deadpool and Wolverine Set Secrets Exposure Justified
Casual Take:
Let's chat with Kevin Feige of Marvel Studios about the leaks surrounding Deadpool and Wolverine. Surprisingly, he's unfazed by the slew of X-Men set leaks that surfaced last year. The spoiled cameos weren't his favorite, but he's pleased with the comic-accurate, canary yellow Wolverine costume.
In his interview, Feige acknowledged that photographers with cameras mounted on drones were a given while filming outdoors. Despite this, he decided to go for it, wanting authentic outdoor settings for the filming locations, even though it posed potential risks. As he mentioned, "It was a new experience to have paparazzi drones hovering over the set. Usually, behind-the-scenes photos don't look as cool as they seem, but Wolverine in the yellow suit looks impressive from any angle."
Deadpool and Wolverine's costume designer, Mayes C. Rubeo, has apparently cracked the code on Wolverine's costume, which has taken close to 25 years of X-Men movies to appear on screen. The costume bears striking resemblance to Deadpool's own design, with the same patterning, boot design, gloves, and belts, each displaying the emblem of the respective hero. It's surprisingly similar to the body armor worn by BMX riders, a sports solution to the Wolverine costume dilemma that's been hiding in plain sight for years.

Extras:Mayes C. Rubeo, collaborating with Graham Churchyard, designed the costumes for Deadpool and Wolverine, taking inspiration from Wolverine's comic book appearances, such as X-Men: The Animated Series and series like Astonishing X-Men. The costume also embraced elements from the character's 1970s design by John Romita Sr. and Dave Cockrum, as well as the 1990s design by Jim Lee. To achieve the comic-accurate look, several iterations and fittings were conducted, ensuring a visually appealing and comfortable design for Hugh Jackman to wear. Jackman himself expressed satisfaction with the costume, feeling it was a long-overdue design for his character's previous films. The early reveal of the costume garnered positive reactions online, with some speculating that Jackman was portraying a new variation of Wolverine compared to his roles in the X-Men films. The design process involved a deep understanding of Wolverine's comic book history and a commitment to staying true to the character's visual identity while also aligning with the film's narrative and aesthetic. Rubeo's experience in designing costumes for previous MCU films likely contributed to the success of this design.
