Hugh Jackman took to Instagram to show off his sleek new haircut, causing fans to go wild for his huge makeover.

The Hollywood actor took a selfie in the car of his new chiseled look, bearing a striking resemblance to his Wolverine character.

He also sported a full beard, which is also another signature feature of his popular comic book character.

Hugh captioned the post: "When you've had a haircut and are desperate for a shower."

Fans rushed to the comments to share their excitement over seeing Wolverine in his new look.

It was believed that the actor had hung up his claws at the end of Logan until Reynolds teased last year the mutant would return in Deadpool 3.

Reynolds has previously shared his desire for a Deadpool and Wolverine double act, but it was just a case of timing.

He told Collider: "I always wanted Hugh to come back.

"My first meeting with Kevin Feige when Disney bought Fox years ago was about doing a movie with the two of us, a Deadpool/Wolverine movie."

When he first "expressed interest in coming back", Reynolds went straight back to Feige to pitch it one last time.

Reynolds then quipped: "It's not like adding Hugh Jackman to a movie like this is a hard sell. It's an immediate and emphatic, unqualified yes."

It will be Reynolds and Jackman's first time working together within the Marvel universe since Ryan appeared as a different version of Deadpool in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

Speaking of the upcoming movie during an appearance on Who's Talking to Chris Wallace? Jackman said: "When I keep thinking of me and Ryan, of Deadpool and Wolverine, which are classic comic-book rivals, there's also a dynamic that I've never really got to do before as Wolverine.

"I just thought, This is gonna be fun. Something I've never done before. I can't wait."
