Hugh Jackman has revealed that he hasn’t ruled out returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the future. The Wolverine actor has been involved in Marvel films for more than two decades, including in the 2024 release “Deadpool & Wolverine,” and has now refused to say that he has fully retired from portraying the famous X-Men character.
Hugh Jackman Could Return to the MCU
Over the weekend, Jackman was a guest on a British chat show alongside Kate Hudson, Ben Stiller, and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. During his appearance on “The Graham Norton Show,” he was asked by Norton about the process of coming back as Wolverine for the 2024 film.
The chat show host said, “Every time you’re on, you go, ‘Nope, I’m not doing that again,’ But then you keep making another one. And it’s a big, big hit. So are you gonna have to do it again?”
Jackman replied with a simple “maybe” while mischievously looking towards the studio audience.
He then went on to expand on his answer, explaining that he now takes an approach of not giving a definitive answer as it is always possible that the right project could come along and change his mind
“I am never saying ‘never’ ever again,” explained Jackman. “I did mean it when I said ‘never,’ until the day when I changed my mind. But I really did for quite a few years, I meant it.”
The remark references the fact that Jackman had previously retired from playing Wolverine after the 2017 film “Logan.” For the next seven years he was not part of any Marvel project but returned to the role alongside Ryan Reynolds for “Deadpool & Wolverine.” With rumors suggesting Deadpool might appear in “Avengers: Doomsday,” it wouldn’t be a huge shock to see Jackman as Wolverine in the upcoming film.
Hugh Jackman Unrecognizable as Robin Hood
Whether or not Jackman does once again take up the mantle of Wolverine may not be sure, but what fans do know is that he will have a very different look in his next movie. The actor is set to portray the titular hero in “The Death of Robin Hood” and has gone through something of a physical transformation to do so.
“There is a depth, a camaraderie and a spirit to the entire cast and crew of ‘The Death of Robin Hood.’ Thank you for this wonderful experience. It is an honor and a privilege. Thank you Ireland!!! Your beauty knows no bounds,” Jackman wrote alongside an Instagram video showing how his look is achieved
