Hugh Jackman Gives Update On Wolverine Future
Logan has long been touted as the last film for actor Hugh Jackman’s run as Wolverine from the X-Men, and based on early reviews, he went out with a bang. That being said, there are still rumors about him coming back.
The first is that he’ll be back for a team-up with Deadpool either in X-Force or in a sequel. But Jackman stopped that rumor during a Facebook Q&A.
“No, and Ryan [Reynolds] is currently sleeping outside my house,” said Jackman with a laugh. “Look, if that movie had appeared 10 years ago, probably a different story, but I knew two and a half years ago that this was the last one. The first call I made was to [‘Logan’ director James Mangold]. I said, ‘Jim, I got one more shot at this,’ and as soon as Jim came up with the idea and we worked on it, I was never more excited. But, it feels like the right time. ‘Deadpool,’ go for it man, do your thing. You don’t need me.”
However! There is one thing that could get him back. In an interview with Screenrant, Jackman notes that if Marvel and the Avengers called, he might answer:
“If that was on the table when I made my decision [to quit], it certainly would have made me pause. That’s for sure,” said Jackman. “Because I always love the idea of him within that dynamic, with the Hulk obviously, with Iron Man but there’s a lot of smarter people with MBAs who can’t figure that out. You never know.”
Logan arrives March 3rd.
