One of Deadpool & Wolverine’s<\/a> best jokes has become a lot more literal in 2026 with Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>. When a gag about Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine and his age is applied to two other new MCU actors, the joke remarkably becomes even more true.<\/p>\n

At the end of 2026, Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> will be bringing back several legacy actors, many of whom do not originate from the main MCU timeline itself. This includes two of the oldest working Marvel actors to date, making Deadpool & Wolverine’s joke in 2024 much more of an impressive reality.<\/p>\n

One of Deadpool’s Best Jokes Was About Hugh Jackman’s 26-Year Career as Wolverine<\/p>\n

One of Deadpool & Wolverine’s funniest gags comes from some meta-commentary on Hugh Jackman\u2019s longevity as Wolverine<\/a>, directly referencing Jackman\u2019s return and highlighting his remarkable run as Logan for over two decades. According to Deadpool, Marvel Studios is going to make Jackman play Wolverine “Till he’s 90.” <\/p>\n

Jackman was 32 when he first played Wolverine in 2000\u2019s X-Men, meaning he\u2019s currently 57 years old. His 26-year career playing such a beloved Marvel superhero is quite the testament, and there are hopes we’ll see him before the end of the Multiverse Saga. However, the Wolverine joke gets a lot more literal with two upcoming MCU actors starring in 2026’s Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday Makes The Joke A Near-Reality With Ian McKellen’s Magneto and Patrick Stewart’s Charles Xavier<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday will see the return of Sir Ian McKellen\u2019s Magneto and Sir Patrick Stewart\u2019s Professor X<\/a>, alongside a handful of other actors who previously played X-Men in Fox’s universe. By the film\u2019s December release, McKellen will be 87 while Stewart will be 86.<\/p>\n

Both Marvel actors debuted in 2000\u2019s X-Men as well, giving them just as long careers as Hugh Jackman\u2019s Wolverine. Suddenly, Deadpool\u2019s quip about playing superheroes into old age doesn\u2019t sound far-fetched at all.<\/p>\n

Even beyond superhero cinema, it was just reported that McKellen is also set to return as Gandalf the Grey<\/a> in the upcoming Lord of the Rings movie, The Hunt for Gollum.<\/p>\n

\"Patrick
\n Patrick Stewart as Professor X in Avengers: Doomsday<\/p>\n

All that said, Avengers: Doomsday (and possibly Secret Wars) will likely be McKellen and Stewart’s final bow for their iconic X-Men characters, especially with Marvel Studios reportedly planning its own X-Men reboot<\/a> once the Multiverse Saga comes to an end. <\/p>\n

One can only hope that Avengers: Doomsday will give McKellen and Stewart the send-off they and their legacy characters very much deserve.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday is set to release on December 18th from Marvel Studios.<\/p>\n
