Kevin Feige on Hugh Jackman’s Yellow Wolverine Suit and the MCU Going R-Rated With Cocaine and Sex Jokes in ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’
Kevin Feige had to tell Marvel employees about pegging after the "Deadpool and Wolverine" trailer launched.
This was a couple of years ago, and Jackman had just confirmed his grand return as Wolverine after retiring the character in 2017’s emotional sendoff “Logan.” The 55-year-old Australian had played the gruff mutant with adamantium claws and regenerative abilities in nine films across two decades to much acclaim and, according to Feige, one glaring oversight. Feige, whose long history with Marvel began as an associate producer on the first “X-Men” movie, remembers a time when studio executives wouldn’t allow A-listers to go near something as “bright and silly” as fluorescent Spandex — instead opting for black leather. Feige spoke to Variety for a cover story about “Deadpool & Wolverine” and chatted about the early struggles to get the film off the ground, as well as the truth about that cocaine joke in the trailer.
