Hugh Jackman said the entire crew of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ was so quiet “you could hear a pin drop” after the shocking scene happened.

When Jackman, 55, appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on July 23 to promote the new movie, he and Jimmy Fallon discussed enthusiasm fans held for Jackman’s Wolverine to wear his bright yellow and blue suit, in line with how Marvel Comics originally envisioned the superhero.

“I gotta tell you, for 24 years people have been talking about [the suit.] It’s one of the first things [Ryan Reynolds] said to me,” Jackman told Fallon. “I said, ‘I want to do it,’ and he goes ‘We’re going to do the yellow and blue.’ “

Though the actor said he was not entirely sure whether the yellow-and-blue suit would work, he said “you could hear a pin drop” the first time he arrived on set in costume.

“It was just a hush. And it was one guy there, Billy Lawless, whose Ryan’s dresser, he started to cry,” Jackman said of the crew’s reaction. “His kid’s name is Logan, just so you know. And he goes, ‘This is the best day of my life.’ “

Jackman is not the only figure from Deadpool & Wolverine‘s production who attested to crew members reacting emotionally to seeing the iconic costume in real life. Wendy Jacobson, an executive producer on the film, recently told the outlet HeyUGuys that the crew had a “mind-blowing ” experience conducting camera tests with Jackman and Reynolds at the start of production.

“But Hugh walking out in the yellow and blue, I mean, there were grown men like sobbing on the set,’ she said. “So we knew it was a very special thing.”

Jackman himself continued to boast about the yellow-and-blue suit during his appearance on The Tonight Show, though he noted the costume is tricky to slip out of. “It’s the best. It looks so good, it feels so good — except when you’re urinating, it does not feel good,” he said. “It’s like a labyrinth getting there.”

The new movie marks Jackman’s first onscreen appearance as Wolverine since 2017’s Logan, which otherwise ended his run as the lead protagonist of many of the X-Men movies. In Deadpool & Wolverine, which claws its way into theaters Friday, July 26, Reynolds’ character Deadpool meets a Wolverine from an alternate universe and must team up with him in order to save his own.
