Avengers: Secret Wars’ Wolverine Return Theory Just Got An Upgrade

Recent statements from Hugh Jackman about reprising his role as Wolverine are fueling speculation that he’ll appear in the upcoming Marvel movie, Avengers: Secret Wars. For over twenty years, Jackman has been a popular and respected actor known for his portrayal of Wolverine in superhero films.

After Wolverine seemingly died in the movie Logan, it appeared Hugh Jackman had finished playing the character. But his return as a different version of Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine has created new possibilities for the character’s future on screen, and it looks like those stories might continue beyond this film.

Hugh Jackman’s Latest Comments About Playing Wolverine Make An Avengers: Secret Wars Return Seem Way More Likely

During a conversation with Cynthia Erivo for Variety, Hugh Jackman addressed her question about whether he felt finished with his role as Wolverine, simply stating, “No. It doesn’t feel like the end.”

Jackman initially felt like his time as Wolverine was over after making Logan, but he started to question that feeling when he saw the first Deadpool movie. Working on Deadpool & Wolverine gave him a chance to portray the character in new and surprising ways, and he discovered aspects of Wolverine he hadn’t explored before.

It’s not surprising that the actor has hinted Deadpool & Wolverine isn’t the last we’ll see of his character. He’s said the film let him discover new aspects of the role, suggesting he’d be open to playing it again in the future.

With reports that many actors from the Fox X-Men films are returning for Avengers: Doomsday, and considering Avengers: Secret Wars is expected to be a massive, *Endgamescale event for the MCU’s Multiverse Saga, it would actually be surprising if Hugh Jackman didn’t reprise his role as Wolverine in the 2027 film.

Why Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Needs To Be In Avengers: Secret Wars

The overwhelmingly positive reaction to Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine is a strong reason for the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars to bring the character back again. Given that Deadpool & Wolverine ends with both heroes surviving and thriving, it would also make perfect sense for Jackman to return.

Wolverine and Deadpool would be natural additions to both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. They’ve directly experienced the multiverse – how to travel between universes and how to save them from destruction – as demonstrated by their success in saving the Fox X-Men universe in the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie.
