Hugh Jackman<\/a> is a mainstay when it comes to superhero movies, having played Logan\/Wolverine in a total of 10 films to date. The latest flick to feature Jackman\u2019s adamantium-clawed mutant is Deadpool & Wolverine and, since then, fans have been wondering about the character\u2019s future. Considering OG X-Men are returning for Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> and mutants are going to factor into future MCU films in a big way, it\u2019s natural to ponder what might happen. Now, Jackman is sharing comments about another reprisal.<\/p>\n

In Deadpool<\/a> & Wolverine, Wade Wilson gets meta by opining that Logan (but more specifically, Jackman) will remain in this role until he\u2019s 90. That, of course, surely won\u2019t happen but, at the very least, the notion of Jackman playing the character again at some point isn\u2019t far-fetched. While on The Graham Norton Show, the Australian actor was asked about the prospect of playing the famous X-Man again. Jackman doesn\u2019t seem opposed to jumping back in the Marvel sandbox, but he also made a funny point (via Digital Spy<\/a>):<\/p>\n

Maybe. I\u2019m never saying ‘never’ ever again. I did mean it until the day I changed my mind. I did mean it for quite a few years. I have done ten films now, so I think they have enough for an AI version of me!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Greatest Showman star is definitely correct in saying that, at this point, Disney, Marvel and 20th Century Studios have plenty of footage of him as Logan. The House of Mouse actually did use AI and file footage to help craft a version of a character in a film, though. I\u2019m talking about young Indiana Jones<\/a> in The Dial of Destiny. However, like myself, I\u2019d like to think that should Wolvie return, fans would like to see Jackman actually playing him in real time.<\/p>\n

All that tech talk aside, though, it sounds as though Hugh Jackman isn\u2019t opposed to playing Wolverine again, though I\u2019d imagine there would just have to be a compelling story on that front. With the Deadpool threequel, Ryan Reynolds<\/a> was able to lure his pal out of his self imposed X-Men movie retirement with the film\u2019s depiction of an emotionally broken Logan who aligns himself with Wade Wilson to protect the multiverse. If any upcoming superhero movie<\/a> could top that narrative it would probably be Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not much is known about Doomsday, though the official synopsis confirms that Earth\u2019s Mightiest Heroes will team up with others, including the X-Men, to take on Doctor Doom<\/a>. With that, OG mutant actors like Patrick Stewart<\/a>, Ian McKellen<\/a> and James Marsden<\/a> are reprising their roles. So it would make sense to have Jackman\u2019s Wolverine join them for what could become their finest (and maybe even final) hour.<\/p>\n

Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige<\/a> has been teasing that the X-Men will join<\/a> the MCU proper and be portrayed by a brand new ensemble of actors. Also, if a recent rumor is to be believed, Cyclops and Jean Grey\u2019s family will be the focus<\/a> of the rebooted franchise as opposed to Wolverine. Still, it\u2019s also rumored that Hugh Jackman\u2019s Logan will stick around<\/a> for a while. It\u2019d be great to see the actor play the role once more ahead of Jake Schreier\u2019s reboot but, if that happens, I hope it\u2019s worthwhile for Jackman.<\/p>\n

See the X-Men return to the big screen in Avengers: Doomsday, which opens in theaters on December 18 amid the 2026 movie schedule<\/a>. In the meantime, stream various mutant-centric films from Marvel\u2019s catalog using a Disney+ subscription<\/a>.<\/p>\n
