[@3dpropz]

They did an amazing job with Wolverine's costume. It looked incredible in the movie!!

[@puffpuffpassmako]

I'm really impressed how roomy and comfortable it looks too. Most MCU actors HATED their suits. Chadwick hated his Civil War black panther suit, RDJ hated every suit after the Mark 1 to the point he wanted it CGI, Chris hated his avengers captain america suit etc. So I'm glad they made it easy and comfortable for Hugh to wear. You know you're perfect in your craft when the guy wearing it refuses to take it off and is ecstatic to be in it.

[@鄭亞當]

Hugh says in an interview that the suit is uncomfortable too, but he like it. You freaking know-it-all.

[@86LukeM]

He once was a model builder at ILM. So he kind of knows how much work goes into making something for a movie. He's also a bit of a geek for it.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

@@86LukeMit’s always interesting seeing him talk to the younger model and people makes and being amazed at what techniques are available

[@86LukeM]

@@TonyTylerDraws indeed. He came from the era of handmade or finding ways to do things. Like there's alumaluster which gave that shine to Mando's armor. Adam back in the day had to work on the Naboo Royal Starship and make it shiny. He said he used mylar balloons stretched over the model. It's pretty much a major leap from his time to now.

[@AlexaOleksa]

Why wouldn't he be? He is huge part of it, knows everyone and good person to be around who appreciates others' wotk

[@DUKE_of_RAMBLE]

That's why I love Adam as an interviewer for stuff like this. He knows the questions to ask, but more importantly, his sudden excitement about something being talked about conveys to us who don't know, that this is an important detail. 😊

[@jonathaneast3727]

It's probably one of the test suits they made to try and nail down this one. Just painted differently. The said they were able to utilize all of their test pieces unless I heard wrong

[@cleverusername9369]

Of all the Marvel costumes ever made, I feel like Wolverine's yellow suit was the most important to get right. They absolutely knocked it out of the park

[@rage2476]

I would argue Ironman's was the most important being the film that launched the MCU. But I agree they nailed it, the 4th grader in me is over the moon

[@cleverusername9369]

@@rage2476 that's fair, re: Iron Man. They nailed that one too. I just think Wolverine's suit was an even bigger deal because Hugh has been playing him for 20 odd years and we never saw him in the yellow suit until now, and Wolverine is a WAY more popular character than Iron Man was until the MCU. Iron Man debuted his classic red and gold armor in the first movie, we had to wait decades to see Logan don the cowl. That at least makes it more impactful, I think. The folks who designed both costumes absolutely nailed it though

[@rage2476]

@cleverusername9369 valid point about the long wait for the yellow. It was the perfect time to use it. Too soon or poorly executed it would have been cheesy, I was happy they didn't use his yellow suit for the first x-men films. It had to be more realistic then. Deadpool was the right movie to use it, he has more of an authentic comic book vibe.

[@cleverusername9369]

@@rage2476 completely agree, DP&W was the perfect time to debut the classic Wolverine suit. They absolutely got it perfectly right, and shout out to Hugh for fuckin BRINGING IT in this movie, that was imho his best Wolverine ever. What a legend.

[@TerraRyze07]

Cosplayers will have a field day with this video , i bet someone will try to make (copy) this to the utmost detail. XD

[@keng6663]

Wow! the number of people criticising the ‘performance’ of the designers.. they are costume makers, they’re not actors or improv comedians. they’re probably nervous, not everyone can speak confidently on camera.

[@dilloncain]

yeah but it's not like they were asked to give a speech on how to go in for the first kiss of your life to the UN. the questions were things like "So how'd you start making this?" and they'd just stand there and stare at each other. i'm willing to bet Savage didn't just knock on their door one day with a camera, they had time to prepare how to answer "These knees look complicated!" leads.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

Yeah, that had to be weird to be in special effects and having Adam Savage praising your work

[@even_steven777]

I’m hoping so because the version I bought online is super tight and zipper quality is horrible. The pauldrons and knee pads are flimsy plastic as well

[@veltealexander]

I've been wanting to see wolverine in a comic book accurate costume since I feel in love with the character back in 1989. I think the final product hit the mark very well.

[@veltealexander]

They did such an incredible job with the mask as well. Wolverines mask has been my favorite in any character in any intellectual property. Great job, guys!

[@Nyerguds]

It looks weird from pretty much every angle except straight on the front or side, though. The weird shapes just always look like the two sides are not the same. Still, kickass costume.

[@nitroangus23]

Lmao at Adam's super quick movement at 11:05 putting the cowl on his face as he blurts out "Can I?" As if he wasn't going too if they said no lol😂😂

[@sgauthier273]

[@BarbusCraft]

He either ment it as in "the last year", or they expected this video to release in 2025.

[@Nejvyn]

As a cosplayer who's trying to adapt a superhero outfit rn, this Wolverine suit is incredibly inspiring and FCKING INTIMIDATING at the same time

[@37Kilo2]

They did such an amazing job on this costume. I've been a Wolverine fanboy since the late 80s when I first started reading comics, so seeing Hugh finally wearing a true Wolverine (multiple, actually) costume, was a dream come true. Also, that montage of Wolverine variants didn't need to happen, but it was magnificent. Seeing the brown suit, AoA, Patch... Good Lord, what amazing fan service. They did, in one movie, what 20 years worth of movies couldn't, and it was almost overwhelming.

[@PaintpalSue]

This is so fantastic, thanks for taking us through it. I love how respectful and generous they are of the fans who will be recreating it.❤❤❤

[@mack1305]

Right!

[@stevemuzak8526]

He wasn't wrong. Production started in 2022-2023.

[@BrokenSoulConfession]

I wanted to say the same. But the production process was indeed last year.

[@thedarkknight2221]

When I was a kid I never really liked the blue and yellow suit because I thought it looked ridiculous. But now that I see it in this style, it looks so perfect that it makes me angry they didn’t use it in all of the past X-Men films. Blame the director who wanted all the suits to be black because The Matrix had come out the previous year and the hottest thing to wear in 2000 was all black.

[@TonyTylerDraws]

Honestly I don’t think it would have worked. There was still this idea at the time that comic costumes had to be BRIGHT colors rather than the subdued colors that Spider-Man and the early MCU films pushed instead. Look at Christopher Reeves’ Superman costume compared to Brandon Routh’s in Superman Returns (which also was directed by Bryan Singer)

[@Nyerguds]

@@TonyTylerDraws I think it's all down to the design. The X-Men movie costumes definitely worked, specifically because they made them look more like a unified group... but looking at this design? No, this would absolutely have worked as well.

[@simplysteve68]

​@@NyergudsI agree, as in the comics (pre 2000s), they all had their own costume designs, but still worked as a cohesive unit, without compromising their individuality.

[@Nyerguds]

@@simplysteve68 Of course, early comic designs were based on individual superheroes doing their thing, with the occasional cooperation. The X-Men were quite different in that aspect, being a group from the start, and not all originating in their own comic. So in that regard, there wasn't really any need for the wildly varying suits, but they got them just because that's how superheroes had always been done.

[@leelanzini]

[@snatchr2451]

The white eyes are horrible. They completely mask any emotion and kill the actors performance. I have no idea why anyone would watch something like The Batman and come away thinking "Can we give him empty white eyes though"

[@ActuallyAlask]

@@snatchr2451 You're incorrect that it masks all emotion and kills the actor's performance. We have the technology to use the actor's facial expressions even if they're completely masked (which batman isn't) and you also still have vocal performance and physical performance.

[@C-M-E]

Professional costuming has become such an interesting space with the accessibility of technology. While I embrace as much as I can, it's SO easy to go overboard with details to the point where you have to start going back to modesty for the sake of being able to produce it, even with the best tools available in your repertoire. 3D scanning, modeling, printing, 3d CNC carving, etc. It's more approachable to bang out incredible parts, while at the same time, having to reign in some of that when it comes to molding and making copies. The wolvie suit looks modest but functional and still does everything it needs to for portraying an interpretation of a classic scheme.

[@PanoptesDreams]

What an incredible build! Thank you all for the amazing breakdown.

[@YodatheHobbit]

Gota say, Adam's chin and goatee looks pretty good in the cowl. Old Man Logan.
