The Evolution of Wolverine In TV & Film (1982-2017)

We are excited about Logan opening this weekend. Hopefully it will be a nice goodbye to Hugh Jackman playing Wolverine. As the weekend approaches, here's a look back at the evolution of the character.
We have updated our previous evolution video with quite a few new bits throughout and added the newest media that has come out since we last created the video.

Hugh Jackman has been playing Wolverine for 17 years, wow. Bravo, sir 🐕

[@vincasjanusas1607]

yeah but it's the ned of him now :'(

[@tylanmaul6646]

And if Disney gets the rights we might get him back

[@LukeLovesRose]

He set standards for acting in comic book movies

True "bub"

@@tylanmaul6646 Well that comment aged better than wine.

[@WALZ97]

Just saw it a few hours ago, heres a mini review: Dont watch it, its too heartbreaking 10/10 Wolverine should've always been R rated, the action is beyond great.

[@DakshMehla]

WALZ97 is logan dead at end

[@WALZ97]

Daksh Mehla Not telling you

[@zevac]

Daksh Mehla yeah

[@SamanthaMoonCosplay]

Haha. I like how you said don't watch it's a 10/10.

Who is excited for Logan? Happy or upset that Hugh Jackman is finally retiring from playing Wolverine?

[@mario10nat75]

Burger Fiction sad

[@lizziebooth5397]

Burger Fiction super excited. I love a genre movie with something to say 🍔💟💪

[@goodjobeli]

sad

[@SmoothTurtle840]

Burger Fiction Sad. X-Men Origins: The Wolverine was just so good.

[@Justwill007]

Burger Fiction great movie. finally did him right

[@damienscullytoo]

I've seen Logan. It needs to be said but it is just 100% Raw. Not for the faint of heart or people who dont like the sight of blood.

[@lizziebooth5397]

really? is it worse than Jessica Jones? I really want to see it but I am a bit squeamish

[@damienscullytoo]

Lizzie Booth oh definitely.

[@SASSN1PA]

Radioactive Snake I'm surprised it wasn't an 18, I watched it earlier in imax

[@telemonlikehappy]

Radioactive Snake I'm sad that there is no more wolverine ( ͡ ʖ ͡ )

[@Toastcat890]

It wasn't that bad really blood wise the way people were talking I was expecting massive amounts of blood but all I got was moderate violence like most Xmen movies but with blood added.

[@andynguyen3271]

Damn that scene in Night at Museum is funny as hell LOL

[@DoctorXander]

Ir's the only watchable part of the whole movie

[@penny1545]

Lol! Wolverine is such a savage!

[@AngryKefir]

So you're 15 and haven't been much in the cinema is what you're saying??

[@Tristansonic911]

0:07;Time for pain, bub!

[@SuperShah201]

Saw the movie yesterday. Safe to say I cried 3 times during the movie. The brutal fight scene was amazing, the story was amazing, and the ending is just too much for me to handle. *wipes off tears*

[@nicolasprieto6117]

SuperShah201 only movie in my 19 years of life that made me legit shed a tear , x-23 actress is so good i felt her pain and shed a few tears

[@kingofwakanda6899]

Can't fucking wait to see rated R Wolverine. I've been waiting for this for a while now. Logan!!!!

[@maasirjaved6788]

King of Wakanda it was probably the second best superhero movie of all time.

[@damienscullytoo]

after seeing it, it deserved that rating. Its only 16 here in Ireland, i don't know how.

[@margarethafalco63]

King of Wakanda Can't wait for Black Panther tho

[@dericjames2018]

ilay mishaly Deadpool

[@P3DROCARNITAS]

Logan was epic :)

[@Matt-rm5ir]

3:51 Okay, I know Origins wasn't good...but come on, you cannot deny how badass that clip was, that roar was awesome! (In my opinion, his best roar of any film)

[@tealandcoralenthusiast]

god bless those muscles

[@deadpoule4402]

8:41 They actually used X2's theme ! Nice !

[@Tristansonic911]

3:04;So funny how Logan kicked the regeneration man right in the *Screwballs.*

[@thefancasthub6862]

I love the transition from 3:48 to 3:50

[@YayaFeiLong]

X-Men Film Universe Wolverine is the best. Hands-down.

[@tompraeger]

Followed by TAS

[@Tristansonic911]

That's the superhero mutant, Wolverine. He's got unbreakable everything and his claws can slice through, well, everything.

[@glides4381]

Wait why does he have an Australian accent at first. Dude's Canadian.

[@Arep273]

Its too heartbreaking.. Im sorry guys. Bye logan

[@IndieGameFan316]

Watching this after seeing the new Deadpool & Wolverine trailer! Wolverine is back!!!

[@timinatr99]

Logan movie made me cry...

[@ExtremeGamer482BR]

"Grow THOSE back" 😂😂😂

[@orangeinferno]

Is the old Wolverine Australian?

[@taliyeth]

I was like: "No fucking way was the old Wolverine Australian, and when they got an Australian actor they made him Canadian???"

[@peborger]

He sounds Irish tbh

[@globoy440]

OrangeinfernoFTW he is Australian

[@Intenxsify]

OrangeinfernoFTW Voice actor yes. Character...I think still Canadian

[@EC2019]

Irish here. Nobody in Ireland sounds like this unless they're faking a really bad Australian accent. It makes no sense that a character called Wolverine should be Australian. If he was going to be Australian they should have called him the Tasmanian Tiger/Wolf or something. Or I dunno, the Iron Wombat. (Anyone makes the Iron Wombat movie and I'm suing for royalties).

[@pavankalyan-vl3rk]

he is doing his wolverine thing😂😂

[@sorenthefilmbrony]

0:20 Whoa now, Wolvie. This is a kids cartoon. (But I didn't mind when he did it in the first live-action movie.)

[@SleepingLion525]

2006 Darktide was the absolute best, the visuals, and the performance of Wolverine were just mind blowing

[@robgosling4567]

Logan's death still hits hard, being thrown on a tree beach like that and having the branch go right through him, his last words to Laura "Dont be what they made you to be" and her screaming "Daddy" very powerful moment, with the young wolverine clone though I'm guessing there is a way for him to keep playing Logan if he ever decided to come back.

[@robgosling4567]

and then the clone killing Charles, wow it was brilliant.

[@dextermorgan8447]

Rob Gosling Wow spoiler alert dude!!!

[@joshucoolable]

Feels so weird watching all the action scenes from previous X-men movies after watching Logan and all the blood in it

[@johnname7163]

The music from the 1992 animated series brought back so many memories. :(

[@poesrath7255]

at 2:12-2:16 Wolverine was like "AAAAaahhh, Faaaaabulous"! like he was on dancing with the stars. then went all serious like "alright I'm done shown' ya m'dance moves let's go bubs!"

Makes it fitting that they would cast Hugh doesn't it?

[@WakandaSykes]

I'm so glad you guys included the Pete Holmes version ^_^

The Wolverine will have a on-screen one more time next year in 2024 for Deadpool 3 in the MCU.

Lol That Deadpool Scene 😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@beckoningoblivion739]

Wolverine was Australian back in the 80s. Neat.

[@Intenxsify]

Beckoning Oblivion I've seen you before in another comment section...Ashita No Joe? Or maybe Hajime No Ippo related.

[@GothicXlightning]

cool my 1982 birthday right there there is never such a thing as too much X-men this damned world of ours will always need that X Magic of them i think my favorite face of Wolvie will always be from the 90s series just got to love that Young Mel Gibson + Lion-0 face of his :)

[@LukeLovesRose]

I love how the original cartoon Wolverine was Australian and then they hired an Australian to play him in movies. And he blows it right out of the water. Seems fitting.

[@ayinfrazier3682]

I know right

Wolverine:"Wow. Nothing to say, huh? I think I like you better this way."Yukio:" *Muffled arguing* "(Wolverine cuts the chains off Yukio with his claws in one slice, and makes her fall down.)Yukio:" *Muffled yell* "(Yukio puts her hand on the tape on her mouth.)Yukio:" *Muffled grunting* "(Yukio removes the tape off her mouth.)Yukio:"What took you so long?!"

Hold on. The first few animated renditions of Wolverine were Australian? lol I think the producers of the show took the characters name a little too literally.

[@JazukaiAdventures]

Hugh Jackman is Australian, Wolverine animals aren't found in Australia, they're found in Canada which is where the character is from.

[@CousinBowling]

@@JazukaiAdventures yes but he's not talking about Hugh Jackman. He said the animated series has an Australian wolverine. Which his accent is Australian.

[@raziel4235]

He is strong enough to go toe to toe with Hulk, robots and cut through metal doors, but in movies he is strugling to throw one soldier of himself. And people are sad that Hugh is retiring..

[@Lev--vf3tx]

haha "First Class"-Wolverine was the best.

[@petrakurnia6772]

many complains about Wolverine Australian accent in some shows, but not complain that Wolverine talks japanese perfectly in his anime... funny -_-

[@sweeneagle16]

2 things I noticed. Animation got way better in the late 2000's. And the older Hugh Jackman got the more ripped he got.
