Hugh Jackman is finally reprising his role as Wolverine for the upcoming movie Deadpool 3. Of course, a version of the character was previously killed in the film Logan. Now the weapon which was used to kill that version of Wolverine is officially for sale.
X-Men fans no doubt remember Wolverine’s death in the film quite well. He sacrifices himself to save Laura and the other mutants from the Reavers. He ultimately dies in her arms underneath a tree. In fact, a tree branch can also be seen coming through his body, and it’s that very prop which is available online.
The tree branch was mostly created digitally. But there is a small piece that was used as the base for VFX artists. It’s that very “blood-stained faux wooden branch component” that is now for sale via Ebay. Here’s how the item is described in the listing:
“A blood-stained faux wooden branch component affixed to a white canvas rig with a plastic buckle, from director James Mangold’s superior Wolverine-centred movie, Logan, released in 2017 and starring Hugh Jackman in the iconic title role.
This screen-used bloodied death-rig was used during the sequence where X-24 (Jackman) used his ‘adamantium’ claws to impale Logan on a tree branch.”
They further describe the condition of the item:
“This screen-used death-rig remains in very good production-used condition and is a very desirable article of memorabilia from one of the MCU’s most loved and enduring cinematic franchises.”
The listing also notes that the item “comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.”
The faux weapon would certainly be a great piece to own for any fan of the X-Men film franchise and Wolverine. Especially when the film it’s from, Logan, is considered to be one of its best offerings. And while Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine in the upcoming film Deadpool 3, there’s no doubt that many fans will continue to value the importance of Logan.
