Jennifer Garner and Channing Tatum make cameos from Deadpool and Wolverine.

Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are more popular than Jesus – at least at the box office Deadpool and Wolverine broke the 2004 box office record The Passion of Christ being the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.

Now the film is officially available as a digital release, in case you’re one of the few film fans who haven’t yet seen the raunchy action in theaters – or want to relive the madness.

The digital premiere comes ahead of the just-announced 4K, Blu-ray and DVD release on October 22nd.

The Daily Beast’s Obsessed includes an exclusive clip of one of the bonus features, an interview with the superheroes who make surprise appearances in the film to talk about returning to their characters – and their wardrobes – all these years after their first appearances. It is part of a set of features called Loose Ends: The Legacy Heroesin which Reynolds, director Shawn Levy and the cast and crew go through some of those cameos and the characters who finally get the ending they deserve. They cover the intense choreographed sequences, updated costumes and the assembly of the legendary team.

Jennifer Garner talks about returning to the character Elektra nearly two decades after the first film… and the need to change the costume to reflect the times gone by.

“It’s a different costume. A lot less skin,” Garner says with a laugh in the clip. “Elektra always showed a lot more midriff, which we don’t need now. That’s not necessary. Elektra had three children.”

She talks about how the costume was adapted to reflect the different ways she moves now as an action star: “I can move and it still looks like Elektra, which I love.” And the big difference is that I don’t wear heels. I said I don’t know if my 55 year old feet can fight in high heels all day. I don’t know if I can do it. So I have a little wedge.”

Wesley Snipes, who revived the character of Blade in Deadpool and WolverineShe also has a sense of humor about the way the costume has changed. “It’s less shiny. “It’s less glittery,” he says. “I don’t have the same drip as the others. When you put it on, you begin to see where your body has changed or where you need to improve or build. Thank God for muscle suits.”

And Channing Tatum, who steals scenes by returning as Gambit in the film, noted how the costume team took direct inspiration from the original comics to perfect his look: “Down to the pattern on the chest plate and headpiece. It is extraordinary what they have achieved. I still can’t believe it.”
