Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Len Wein originally pitched Wolverine as a teenage Hulk villain named 'The Badger' before settling on a wolverine — because, as he says, 'badgers aren't scary.'

Cultural

This was filmed during a brief window when both creators were healthy and reflective; Wein passed in 2017, making this one of the last recorded conversations between Marvel's most influential writer-editor pair.
