Despite previously announcing his retirement from the role, Hugh Jackman might continue playing Wolverine in future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. Recent reports suggest Marvel Studios is considering extending Jackman’s time as the iconic mutant, even after the release of *Deadpool & Wolverine*.
Hugh Jackman’s ‘until he’s 90’ Wolverine meme might just become a reality
According to a recent rumor, Hugh Jackman might reprise his role as Wolverine in future Marvel Cinematic Universe films, even after appearing in *Avengers: Secret Wars*. Industry insider Daniel Richtman reports that Marvel Studios is considering keeping Jackman involved with future projects, despite also planning to introduce a new version of the X-Men.
Hugh Jackman initially stepped away from playing Wolverine after the movie *Logan*, but he came back for *Deadpool & Wolverine* alongside Ryan Reynolds. While the studio promoted *Deadpool & Wolverine* as Jackman’s last time in the role, sources say Marvel intends to feature him in future team-up films like *Avengers: Doomsday* and a possible *X-Force* movie starring Reynolds.
Marvel is planning a fresh start for the X-Men franchise with a new movie directed by Jake Schreier, who also directed *Thunderbolts*. While fans might expect to see a young Wolverine quickly, reports suggest that Hugh Jackman could continue playing the character in a guiding or mentor capacity as Marvel’s current storyline progresses.
The running joke in Deadpool & Wolverine about Hugh Jackman’s character continuing until age 90 might hint at Marvel’s plans for the future. Jackman’s Wolverine has been a key part of the X-Men movies since 2000 and is a major figure in the franchise.
Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors behind Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, are set to direct the next two Avengers films: Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. They expressed their excitement about working with Kevin Feige, Lou D’Esposito, and the entire Marvel team to create a new and exciting chapter in the Avengers saga.
Marvel has announced new release dates for two of its upcoming Avengers films. Avengers: Doomsday will now be released on December 18, 2026, and Avengers: Secret Wars will follow on December 17, 2027.
