It’s been almost one year sinceDeadpool & Wolverinesliced into theaters everywhere, and the film left its mark asone of the biggest accomplishments in MCU history. Not only did it gross well over $1 billion, but it also finally broughtRyan Reynolds’Deadpool andHugh Jackman’s Wolverine into the MCU. One of the biggest surprises of the film comes in the first act, when Deadpool heads out into the multiverse to search for a version of Wolverine that can replace his, who died inLogan(2017). One of the variants he comes across is an Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, who immediately attacks Wade and sends him packing.Hot Toys has released a new figure of this Age of Apocalypse version of Wolverine,who has only ever been called Weapon X in this universe, that bears a terrifyingly uncanny resemblance to Jackman’s appearance in the film.
The collectible features Age of Apocalypse Wolverine’s iconic black-and-red costume, as well as his one nub of a hand that he lost in a fight with anevil version of Cyclops. The figure comes with various interchangeable hands and arms, including options both with and without his signature claws. It also comes with the same broken brick stand Jackman’s character is leaning againstwhen Deadpool finds him in the 2024 film. He’s even rocking a fierce mane that connects with his beard, similar to the look he’s sporting when we first pick up with him inThe Wolverine(2013). This version of Wolverine has certainly seen his fair share of tough times.He lives in a world ruled by Apocalypse, who is infamously portrayed in live-action byOscar Isaac.
Will Hugh Jackman Ever Play Wolverine Again?
It’s unclear at this time if Hugh Jackman will reprise his role as Wolverinein a futureMCUfilm, but given that it’s been confirmed his Fox X-Men compatriots will star inAvengers: Doomsday, it’s likely he will too. The heroes will need all the help they can get in the fight against Doctor Doom (Robert Downey Jr.), and while some on the team will certainly be of more value than others, Wolverine could be a real help. Jackman was recently asked about hisAvengers 5status, but as expected,he played coy.
The new Age of Apocalypse Wolverine figure is now available for pre-order andcan be purchased here. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on all the latest Hot Toys figures and watchDeadpool & WolverineonDisney+.
