Hugh Jackman recreates the sad Wolverine meme for Deadpool and Wolverine success.
Marvel Studios posted a picture of Hugh Jackman on X, in full Wolverine gear, reclining on a bed, staring at a picture, recreating the iconic sad Wolverine meme from an episode of the animated X-Men series that aired in 1993. In the series, a sulky Wolverine is staring at a picture of Cyclops and Jean Gray. In Marvel’s tweet version, the picture says “#1 movie in the world”, with the caption “Crushed it. #DeadpoolAndWolverine.” The meme was first used on Reddit in 2011, which replaced the picture of Cyclops and Jean Gray with one of Scarlet Johansson.
