We next see Wade in costume as he walks through a fancy casino, up to a man with a very distinct haircut, in a white suit. This is, of course, our first of two tiny glimpses at the return of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, but it’s a very specific version: Patch, an alter ego Logan established after the X-Men were believed by the world to have been killed during an encounter with the demonic entity known as the Adversary.

While many of the resurrected X-Men relocated to the Australian Outback to surreptitiously continue their heroic missions, Logan donned a white suit and eye patch to go with his new moniker and went off to Madripoor, a fictional Southeast Asian island nation that has, over the years, played the part of a haven of crime and shady doings in Marvel’s comics. Madripoor officially entered the MCU in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Given the multiversal shenanigans at play here, it’s hard to say if this is meant to be the Madripoor of the “sacred timeline” reality, or some version of it adjacent to the reality of the Fox X-Men movies and their own messy timeline.
