Marvel’s prescription for National Stress Awareness Month? A video of Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine doing some audible breathing for eight and a half hours—just about as long as the average workday, which may be no coincidence. Frankly, it’s more action-packed than Marvel’s lengthy stunt to unveil the casting of Avengers: Doomsday, with nary a chair in sight.
Around the halfway mark, Wolverine does move a bit (other than his breathing muscles) and show off his claws. Otherwise, this is just “Marvel Ambiance” here to soothe you, much in the vein of Marvel’s 10–hour video of Agatha All Along‘s dreamy, witchy beach house.
Pretty soothing, right? Unless you’re Justin Baldoni, in which case any attempt to use Deadpool & Wolverine as a stress reliever is probably ill-advised.
Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday chair announcement livestream actually pulled in more views than the Deadpool & Wolverine trailer drop, which had previously set view records for the studio. Will eight-plus hours of Wolverine’s deep breathing and unbroken eye contact meet with the same success? How long did you last watching “Wolverine Breathing Exercise”?
