1) Classic Costume
Despite fans having called for it for the past, oh, nearly twenty years, Hugh Jackman never got to wear Wolverine’s classic yellow costume on screen. While it was the right decision to do away with it again in Logan – the colourful suit wouldn’t have fit in with the film’s sombre tone – it is alluded to at several points.
As we glimpsed in the trailers, Logan reveals that X-Men comics exist in this universe, as fictionalized versions of the adventures of the mutant team. In these comics – specially-commissioned for the film by Marvel artists Joe Quesada and Dan Panosian – Wolverine wears the typical outfit. Logan later angrily rants about how the world is nothing like the comic books though, including the fact that heroes don’t wear “leotards.”
Classic Wolverine also appears in action figure form in the tragic final scene of Logan‘s funeral. One of the mutant children is seen holding his Wolvie doll, acting as a final, touching reminder that these children will remember him as a hero.
