Marvel boss Kevin Feige has praised Hugh Jackman for bringing a “darker element” to his superhero in Deadpool & Wolverine.
The 55-year-old star has reprised his role of Wolverine for the first time since 2017’s Logan and even after playing the mutant on and off since 2000’s X-Men, the studio chief is impressed the actor is still able to find new sides to his alter ego.
Speaking to ScreenRant, he said: “On a deeper level, I think he has said that he taps into a darker element of the character, which is not necessarily apparent in the fun footage that you’ve seen in trailers.
“But when you see the movie, there’s a darkness that always comes with the Wolverine character from the comics that is touched on in certain of the previous movies, but is delved into in this one in a way that really takes you to, I think, a special place and showcases yet again, what a spectacular actor.”
