He mentioned that he is ready to take heat if people criticise suit. But being a writer for se movies as well, he can never get past that fact that Logan is least narcissistic of all superheroes. Any kind he can think of - Marvel, DC or anywhere else. He questioned, who puts a special branded outfit on when y do good deeds? And why?

Mangold added that only reason you wear it is so you can have some sort of trademarked claim and get credit for what you did. filmmaker stated that thing seems less Wolverine-like than desire to put on a trademarked outfit, particularly canary yellow. It is kind of prance about doing good deeds and have people go, "Oh my God! It's Wolverine!" At least Wolverine, as he sees him, would t wear it which is a real struggle for him and always has been. He somehow feels that if somehow y ever put Hugh Jackman into one of those outfits, people would t be happy. Essentially, it is something that lives on p and he is t sure could live anywhere else.
