“Hugh Jackman is too tall”: Haters Won’t Ever Complain Against Hugh Jackman Anymore After Watching the Comic Accurate Wolverine in Deadpool 3

Not all of Deadpool & Wolverine’s comic accuracy is welcome by fans.

Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool & Wolverine was a masterpiece for Marvel fans. Doing justice to fans of the comics, it ended up delivering one of the best films of all time, disguised as fan service. The creators of the film understood the significance of the characters they were showcasing as well as how anticipated their meeting was. Thanks to this, they ended up breathing life back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe and giving the fans a joy ride simultaneously.

A lot of wrongs were made right in the film, even though some were temporary. Fans got to see Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy undo the mistakes made by those before them and make the comic fans happy. A lot of these changes were centered around Jackman’s Wolverine.

There is one hilarious scene in the film that mocks the haters who have a very specific criticism of Jackman’s character and they are still not happy.

Hugh Jackman’s Biggest Criticism

When the first X-Men film was being made and Marvel was deciding on Wolverine’s character, they took a lot of creative liberties. Since the film was coming out at a time when Marvel was only known for its comics, they reduced the intensity of a lot of parts of these characters to make them easier to like and gain popularity. Specifically for Wolverine, he was stripped of his iconic yellow suit and given everyday clothes.

Another change that was made was the film was a fundamental part of the character; his height. In the comics, the character is famously 5 ft. 3. However, when the studio decided to cast Hugh Jackman, who is 6 ft. 2, they ended up diverting quite a lot from the comics. This one choice ended up making the live-action Wolverine almost one foot taller than the one from the comics.

Naturally, many hardcore fans of the comics who believed in complete accuracy were upset with the change. In the years since the release of the film, fans have demanded that the height be fixed. After the release of Logan in 2017, Jackman announced that he would be walking away from the role.

With this news, these fans began to hope that the next actor cast in the role would bring about accuracy when it comes to the height.

Unfortunately for the critics, Hugh Jackman ended up coming back and reviving his role as Logan in Deadpool & Wolverine, and Marvel did not need to cast another actor. However, it would seem that the criticism that the height and lack of a suit got did not fall on deaf ears. Shawn Levy, the director of the film, and Ryan Reynolds seemed to have taken it upon themselves to right these wrongs.

The film brought the iconic yellow suit into the film in the best ways possible. They understood that the film should do justice to the suit and delivered exactly what the fans wanted. However, when it comes to the height aspect, the movie decided to poke fun at it.

During the scene where Deadpool is meeting the many variants of Wolverine, ‘Short King Wolverine’ is the first one he interacts with. One fan on X pointed out how Marvel tried to give them what they wanted but failed drastically.





While the nod was definitely not supposed to be seriously taken, other fans pointed out how a comic-accurate Wolverine would not be appreciated by fans. They mentioned how fans found the scene to be hilarious instead of fan service, proving that they would not have enjoyed a shorter version of the character.
