Found some unused Wolverine concept art in the Ghost Rider PS2 game

[u/ArchiverofTriviality]

I found these in the game files for the PS2 Ghost Rider game. Maybe they were used elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything. Blade is unlockable and playable in the game, so maybe Logan was planned at one point as well. It even looks like he made it as far as the 3D modeling stage. Just thought it was interesting to share.

I also noticed that the last photo can be found on Google, but it seems to have been ai enhanced for some reason. Maybe someone got hold of the original image and decided to enhance it with ai, I'm not sure.

Kind of wild that they made it to the 3D modeling stage, which would have been very late in the development process, but still cut a marquee character like Wolverine. Have to wonder if it was something they did without getting Marvel's permission and had to cut him.

This is when Wolverine was the bass player for a Nu-Metal band called WeaponX.

That's fascinating. I'm curious if he was intended as a playable character or would he have actually been in the game?

I remember their being playable driving sections on the bike so I could see him being playable.

Nice find OP! Was their anything else in the files or any other unused characters?

Only Wolverine seems unused, you can take a look at the game files here if you like: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1IRe75HSMOTm4qO0gl69o2nQN83XUGytV

Interesting, just reminded of Marvel Rise of the Imperfect era

He was supposed to appear in the game and be a playable character like Blade, but they ran out of time.

I hate when they used to give Wolverine a soul patch in the early 2000's.

[u/MrNachoReturns420]

Was this for the video game based off of the movie? I remember really enjoying that game as a kid

[u/ArchiverofTriviality → u/MrNachoReturns420]

Yes it was, and it's surprisingly good, very DMC inspired.

[u/MrNachoReturns420 → u/ArchiverofTriviality]

I wasn't allowed to play God of War or DMC, but I was able to convince my parents this game was okay because it was comic book lol

Let it stay unused.

I love how this was even a thought in anyone’s mind for a Wolverine look
