One Wolverine Suit from DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Cost $100,000

by

As a longtime comic book enthusiast and moviegoer with a soft spot for the gritty, humorous antics of Deadpool and Wolverine, I must say that the $100,000 brown, tan, and yellow suit from the latest Deadpool & Wolverine movie left me both astounded and amused. On one hand, it’s mind-boggling to think about the sheer amount of money invested in a costume that barely graces our screens for 11 seconds! But on the other hand, as someone who has spent countless hours poring over comic books featuring these iconic characters, I can appreciate the attention to detail and homage paid to John Byrne’s legendary work.

If you’ve caught the latest flick featuring Deadpool and Wolverine, you’re aware that there are numerous versions of these characters. While some may appear only slightly different in their outfits, which might not seem significant at first glance, one costume was priced a staggering $100,000! That’s correct, you read it here.

One of the movie’s editors, Dean Zimmerman, revealed in an interview that the brown, tan, and yellow suit worn by Wolverine during his confrontation with the Hulk cost a staggering $100,000 to produce. This fact becomes more astonishing when you consider how brief this scene is in the film, lasting just about 11 seconds. In fact, the suit isn’t even fully visible for over half of that time.

Due to large costs like the aforementioned suit, the appearance of more Wolverine variants was out of the question economically. Zimmerman also mentioned there were ideas for many other variants given to them by a storyboard artist who was also a big comic book fan. But there were “time and budget issues you have to deal with.”

Zimmerman notes that the pricey suit he’s referring to takes inspiration from the costume worn by the character Wolverine, which was designed by comic book artist John Byrne during his tenure on the X-Men series. Byrne is renowned for his work on story arcs like “Days of Future Past” and the “Dark Phoenix Saga,” and he’s credited with boosting Wolverine’s popularity in the comics world.

On October 1st, streaming platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV unveiled the digital version of the highly anticipated film, “Deadpool & Wolverine.” If you’re like me, eagerly waiting to get your hands on a physical copy, mark your calendars for October 22nd. The studio has planned a physical release that will include some exciting bonus features like director’s commentary and hilarious gag reels. For those who prefer the physical medium, look forward to owning the film in stunning 4K UHD Blu-ray format. Even better, these Steelbook editions are going to be quite special!
