Hugh Jackman<\/a> is keeping the door open to return as Wolverine<\/a>, and his recent comments are a positive sign for MCU<\/a> fans.<\/p>\n

What is Hugh Jackman\u2019s Wolverine update?<\/p>\n

2017\u2019s Logan<\/a> was supposed to be Jackman\u2019s swan song as Logan\/Wolverine, ending a nearly two-decade run as the character. While speaking to Cynthia Erivo for Variety and CNN\u2019s Actors on Actors<\/a>, Jackman confirmed that leaving the superhero world after Logan was the plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really felt like the end after Logan,\u201d Jackman said. \u201cActually, I needed to claim it as the end, because I really believed in some things that I wanted that movie to be, and I had to fight for them. I had to say, \u2018This is the last time I\u2019m doing it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Jackman\u2019s plans change after witnessing Ryan Reynolds<\/a> play the Merc with a Mouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen, when I saw Deadpool<\/a>, I was like, \u2018Oh. I see 48 Hrs. I see Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte.\u2019 But I would shove it down,\u201d Jackman explained. \u201cI\u2019ve told everyone that I\u2019m done. I\u2019m not one of those guys. Then I went, \u2018You know what? I change my mind. It\u2019s not that big of a deal. I\u2019m not even gonna say I\u2019m sorry.\u2019 And it was so awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Erivio asked whether his time as Wolverine had ended, Jackman said, \u201cIt doesn\u2019t feel like the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackman is not scheduled to appear in future MCU movies. Wolverine survives at the end of Deadpool & Wolverine<\/a>, setting the stage for another outing as Logan. Looking at Marvel\u2019s upcoming slate, Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> and Avengers: Secret Wars<\/a> will feature many MCU characters from the past and present, and Jackman\u2019s Wolverine is rumored to show up in at least one of the movies, if not both.<\/p>\n

Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters on December 18, 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars premiering one year later on December 17, 2027.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hugh Jackman is keeping the door open to return as Wolverine, and his recent comments are a positive…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309227,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,59392,6461,6462,2839,56,54,55,21389],"class_list":["post-309226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-hugh-jackman","tag-marvel-cinematic-universe","tag-movie-news","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wolverine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309226\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
