Marvel uploads bizarre 8-hour long video of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine breathing

Just in time for Stress Awareness Month.

In one of the more unexpected Marvel drops this year, Marvel Entertainment has released a massive 8.5-hour YouTube video featuring none other than Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine — simply breathing.

Titled a “breathing exercise,” the video shows Jackman’s Wolverine taking slow, gravelly breaths backed by tense Marvel music.

About halfway through the nearly nine-hour runtime, Wolverine suddenly strikes an iconic pose, offering a surprise moment for any fans who tough it out long enough to see it.

The unusual project arrives almost eight months after Deadpool & Wolverine hit theaters, and around five months after its premiere on Disney+.

In a few short hours, the video has already attracted nearly 40,000 views, proving that fans are more than willing to tune in — even if just to hear Wolverine growl in their ears.

Many fans online have speculated that the lengthy breathing session was meant to be an April Fools' Day joke that got left behind.

However, Marvel insists the video serves a real purpose, releasing it just in time for National Stress Awareness Month.

As the video description explains:

“April is National Stress Awareness Month, so breathe deep and feel your adamantium bones melt away.”

Despite Marvel’s stress-reduction claims, some viewers have pointed out that the suspenseful background music paired with Wolverine’s intense breathing might not exactly be the most calming experience.

Still, others have found it oddly meditative — or at least amusing enough to let it play in the background.

For those wondering about Wolverine’s future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), there’s some hope. Although it remains unclear if Jackman and Ryan Reynolds will reprise their roles after Deadpool & Wolverine, signs are pointing to a possible return.

In March, Marvel revealed part of the cast for its upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film, and included among the named characters was Channing Tatum, who portrayed Gambit in Deadpool 3.

While nothing has been officially confirmed yet, fans are holding out hope that they might soon hear Wolverine’s heavy breathing — and see his claws — once again on the big screen.
