Fans have officially got a glimpse of Hugh Jackman's complete costume in Deadpool & Wolverine through the promo arts at the CinemaCon in Las Vegas and it came in surprising form — collectible cups.

Jackman's casting in Deadpool 3 was announced in September 2022 and many were thrilled that he would be joining his pal Ryan Reynolds, who plays the Merc with a Mouth, in the franchise. In July 2023, the X-Men actor treated his fans by sharing a photo from the set with him rocking his black and yellow Wolverine costume with Reynolds in his complete Deadpool attire beside him. Jackman's costume in the shot is incomplete because his face is fully exposed. Although his mask was noticeably missing, the post stirred excitement as it was the first time Jackman was seen as Wolverine again, after he announced his retirement in 2015. The 55-year-old actor previously said his 2017 movie Logan would be the final time he would don his superhero custom. Apparently, this isn't the case, as Jackman is reprising his beloved X-Men character James «Jimmy» Howlett aka Logan once more in Deadpool & Wolverine, and the photos from CinemaCon in Las Vegas just unveiled his look as Wolverine with his mask on.

The Movie Podcast shared a photo and a clip of a collectible cup printed with promo art from the event on X, formerly Twitter. The item, spotted in and around the event floor, featured Jackman in his complete Wolverine costume — with his mask on and visible claws as if he was ready for an epic battle. The other side of the cup also featured Deadpool in his signature pose. The Funko POPS for Deadpool & Wolverine are expected to be unveiled on Friday.

Wolverine's mask was also more fully revealed in artwork shown at a CinemaCon photobooth (which was shared by The Hollywood Reporter via X). Both images also showed another minor touch on Wolverine's more comic-accurate costume, that being the metal casing around his signature claws.

The post from The Movie Podcast received several reactions from fans, with many expressing their excitement about the anticipated movie. Several also wanted to buy the item, with one writing, «This cup is a requirement.» Another user praised the improvement in Wolverine's costume because, this time, the claws were placed in the knuckles and not between the fingers. A different netizen seemingly approved of it, with one saying it appeared to be the cartoon character in «reality.» Meanwhile, another user was still skeptical about it, writing:

That's if they got it right. This is just artwork on the side of a cup.

The leaked photo of the collectible cups from the event was a major treat to fans because no one expected to see any footage of Deadpool & Wolverine. Also, the organizers usually don't allow
