Hasbro - Deadpool & Wolverine: New Wolverine Figure Honors the MCU Blockbuster

By Mulder, 01 april 2026

The annual April Pool’s Day celebration has become something of a tradition for fans of the Merc with a Mouth, and in 2026 Hasbro and Marvel chose to mark the occasion with a release that immediately caught the attention of collectors and movie enthusiasts alike. Revealed as part of the festivities surrounding Deadpool & Wolverine, the new Marvel Legends Series Wolverine action figure recreates the distinctive bare-chested look worn by Logan during key moments of the blockbuster Marvel Studios film. Standing at six inches tall and featuring more than twenty points of articulation, the collectible arrives with five accessories, including an alternate head sculpt and four interchangeable hands, allowing fans to recreate several of the character’s most memorable poses. The release is scheduled to be available during Summer 2026 following a Target-exclusive pre-order launch on April 1, with a suggested retail price of $27.99. The announcement itself perfectly reflects the playful marketing spirit that has become synonymous with the Deadpool franchise, blending humor, nostalgia, and fan service into a product designed specifically for longtime Marvel collectors.

What makes this particular figure especially noteworthy is the choice of costume. Rather than focusing on Wolverine’s now-iconic yellow-and-blue comic-inspired suit, the figure captures the rugged, battle-worn version of Logan seen during several emotional and action-heavy sequences of Shawn Levy’s film. The bare-chested design recalls the character’s vulnerability beneath the adamantium claws and the gruff exterior that audiences have followed for more than two decades. According to the official product description, the figure was designed to faithfully replicate the on-screen appearance portrayed by Hugh Jackman, whose return as Wolverine became one of the defining cinematic events of 2024. The attention to detail extends to the sculpting, articulation, and interchangeable display options, allowing collectors to showcase the figure either with or without claws. For Marvel Legends enthusiasts, it is another example of Hasbro’s increasingly cinematic approach to the line, where figures are treated as miniature recreations of major film moments rather than simple toys.

The figure’s release also serves as a reminder of the extraordinary impact of Deadpool & Wolverine, the film that inspired it. Directed by Shawn Levy and written by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells, and Shawn Levy, the movie became a landmark production for Marvel Studios. Featuring Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson and Hugh Jackman as Logan alongside Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Aaron Stanford, and Matthew Macfadyen, the film represented the long-awaited meeting of Fox’s X-Men universe and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The story follows Wade Wilson after he is recruited by the Time Variance Authority and forced into a desperate mission that ultimately leads him to seek help from a reluctant Wolverine from another reality. The result was a multiverse adventure that balanced outrageous comedy, surprising emotional depth, and a celebration of Marvel’s cinematic legacy.

Behind the scenes, the journey to bring Wolverine and Deadpool together was far from straightforward. Development on a third Deadpool film began years before Disney’s acquisition of 21st Century Fox, but the project underwent multiple creative reinventions. According to verified production accounts, the screenplay struggled to find a compelling direction until Hugh Jackman unexpectedly decided to return to the role he had seemingly retired after Logan in 2017. That decision transformed the entire project. Ryan Reynolds, Kevin Feige, and Shawn Levy subsequently reshaped the film around the chemistry between Deadpool and Wolverine, creating what ultimately became both a celebration of the Fox Marvel era and a major MCU event. The film’s production was further complicated by the 2023 Hollywood strikes, which temporarily halted filming before work resumed later that year. Despite those challenges, the finished movie emerged as one of the biggest commercial successes in Marvel history.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the figure announcement is how it reflects the cultural impact of Wolverine’s return. For years, fans dreamed of seeing Hugh Jackman wear a costume closer to the comic-book design that had defined the character for generations. Deadpool & Wolverine finally delivered that vision while simultaneously embracing alternate versions of Logan that highlighted different aspects of the character’s history. The bare-chested appearance immortalized by this new Marvel Legends release recalls the more savage and emotionally damaged side of Wolverine, a portrayal that contrasts beautifully with the bright yellow suit that dominated much of the film’s marketing campaign. In many ways, the figure captures the balance that made the movie so successful: honoring comic-book iconography while never losing sight of the deeply human character beneath the claws.

The film itself became a phenomenon upon its release in July 2024. Premiering at the David H. Koch Theater in New York before opening worldwide, Deadpool & Wolverine shattered expectations and box-office records. It generated more than $1.3 billion globally, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film in cinema history and one of the most successful Marvel productions ever released. Audiences embraced the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, while the film’s numerous surprises, legacy character appearances, and affectionate tribute to the Fox Marvel era helped transform it into a major pop-culture event. The success extended well beyond theaters, with merchandise, collectibles, and tie-in products becoming highly sought-after items among fans eager to commemorate the movie’s historic run.

For collectors, this Marvel Legends Wolverine release is more than simply another action figure. It represents a tangible piece of one of the most significant superhero films of the decade and a celebration of a character whose cinematic journey has spanned more than twenty-five years. Whether displayed alongside other Marvel Legends figures, paired with a Deadpool counterpart, or showcased as a standalone tribute to Hugh Jackman’s unforgettable performance, the figure encapsulates the blend of nostalgia, humor, and blockbuster spectacle that defined Deadpool & Wolverine. As April Pool’s Day once again proves, Hasbro and Marvel understand exactly how to keep fans talking—and collecting—long after the credits have rolled.
