==Trivia== *'''Bone Claws''': Wolverine's translucent veined bone claws were inspired by rattlesnake teeth. *'''Victor and Logan''': The connection between Victor and Logan as brothers was first explicitly established in ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine''. *'''Hugh Jackman's Inspiration''': Jackman likened Wolverine to characters like Dirty Harry and Mad Max, describing Logan's essence as "bad ass." To convey Wolverine's silent fury, he took freezing showers daily. *'''Hideaway''': Logan built the hideaway he shared with Kayla Silverfox during his time as a lumberjack. *'''Fighting Style''': Hugh Jackman modeled Wolverine's relentless fighting style on Mike Tyson's. *'''Claws''': The skin between Wolverine’s knuckles tears and bleeds each time his claws are extended. *'''Casting''': Hugh Jackman was a last-minute replacement for Wolverine in the original ''X-Men'' movie, as Dougray Scott was delayed by additional filming for ''Mission Impossible II''. *'''Weight''': Wolverine weighs 195 lbs without adamantium and 300 lbs with it. *'''Memory Retention''': Professor X and Wolverine are the only characters to retain memories of the original timeline, with Wolverine’s consciousness projected back in time and Professor X using telepathy in 1973. *'''Dog Tag Number''': Wolverine's dog tag number is 458 25 243. *'''Yellow Spandex''': Cyclops's line "What would you prefer, yellow spandex?" in ''X-Men'' refers to Wolverine’s iconic comic book costume. *'''Deleted Scene''': A deleted scene from ''The Wolverine'' shows Yukio presenting Wolverine with a costume similar to his comic book outfit. *'''X2: X-Men United''': Hugh Jackman wore a wig in the final scene of ''X2'' because he had long hair for his role in ''Van Helsing''. *'''X-Men: The Last Stand''': An alternate scene shows Wolverine returning to Alberta, Canada, and continuing his solitary life, even meeting the bartender from the first film. By the time of ''The Wolverine'', Wolverine returns to Canada alone, specifically to the Yukon. *'''Timeline Inconsistency''': Despite Wolverine’s history as a soldier with Sabretooth in the early 1900s, he is depicted as a civilian in ''X-Men: First Class'' and ''X-Men: Days of Future Past'', which cover the Vietnam War era. This implies he might have been taking breaks between his various conflicts. *'''Glenn Danzig''': In the 1990s, Danzig was considered for the role of Wolverine in an early X-Men film due to his physical resemblance to the character and his similar height. He had to decline because filming would interfere with his band's touring schedule. *'''Russell Crowe''': Bryan Singer initially wanted Crowe for Wolverine but eventually chose Hugh Jackman. Other actors considered included Glenn Danzig, Dougray Scott, Keanu Reeves, Gary Sinise, Mel Gibson, Aaron Eckhart, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Viggo Mortensen, Edward Norton, and Bob Hoskins. *'''Kodi Smit-McPhee''': Originally cast as young Wolverine in ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'', Smit-McPhee was replaced by Troye Sivan due to his commitment to ''The Road''. Smit-McPhee later portrayed young Nightcrawler in ''X-Men: Apocalypse''. *'''Seeing Through Disguises''': Logan is one of only two characters able to see through Mystique's disguises, using his sense of smell. The other character is Stryker. They both were tricked by Mystique in ''X2: X-Men United'' when she impersonated Jean Grey and Wolverine. *'''Height Difference''': While Wolverine is depicted as 5'3" in the comics, Hugh Jackman, who portrays him in the films, is 6'2". *'''Spider-Man Cameo''': Jackman was originally set to have a cameo in ''Spider-Man'' (2002). The scene was scrapped because the crew could not access the Wolverine costume from ''X-Men'' (2000). *'''Uncredited Appearances''': Hugh Jackman appeared uncredited in ''X-Men: First Class'' and ''X-Men: Apocalypse'' in cameo roles. *'''Recurring Characters''': Wolverine and Professor X are the only characters to appear in every X-Men film. Wolverine is unique in being portrayed by the same actor, Hugh Jackman, in each appearance. *'''Deadpool Films''': Wolverine and Professor X are not featured in the Deadpool films. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and James McAvoy are referenced, but McAvoy appears briefly in cameos. Stewart is mentioned but does not appear, though archive footage from ''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' is used in the credits of ''Deadpool 2''. *'''Restoration of Claws''': After losing his adamantium claws to Yashida in ''The Wolverine'', they are restored in the dystopian 2023 timeline. It is presumed that Magneto helped re-coat Wolverine's claws in adamantium. *'''Healing Factor''': In the films, Wolverine's accelerated healing powers are never explicitly referred to as a "healing factor." *'''Variation in Healing''': Wolverine's healing abilities were portrayed inconsistently in the early films. Initially, his healing speed wasn't fast enough to prevent bleeding or stop him from being knocked out easily. Later films depict his healing as more advanced, with fewer visible injuries. *'''Consciousness Transfer''': Both Professor X and Wolverine transferred their consciousnesses into different bodies. Professor X transferred into his twin brother's body before his old body disintegrated. Wolverine transferred into his younger body in the revised timeline. *'''Dark Phoenix''': ''Dark Phoenix'' is the only 20th Century Fox X-Men movie that does not feature Wolverine, as Hugh Jackman had retired from the role. *'''Logan's Timeline''': Hugh Jackman suggested ''Logan'' might take place in a different universe than the revised timeline, similar to the "Old Man Logan" comic. James Mangold confirmed that ''Logan'' is set in the revised timeline, though Marvel later designated it as taking place on Earth-17315 and non-canonical to the revised timeline.
