However, this move has got fans curious and they are wondering if Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine in future MCU projects. They are also wondering if this movie will be his final appearance as the character. This is considering how Jackman was once adamant about not returning after Logan, only to go back on his word.
So is Deadpool and Wolverine Hugh Jackman’s definite swan song as Wolverine? Will Jackman’s Logan come back in future MCU movies? Here are your answers.
Is Deadpool & Wolverine Hugh Jackman’s final movie as Logan?
It remains to be seen whether Deadpool & Wolverine will be Hugh Jackman’s final movie as Logan.
Speaking to Collider, alongside Ryan Reynolds and director Shawn Levy, Jackman was reminded by the interviewer about how he once said he was done playing Wolverine after Logan. He was asked if he was again done playing the role after this film to which he gave an honest but rather indefinite response. He said:
“It literally does not matter how I answer this, Steve, because I’m clearly a liar.”
However, Jackman expressed that he had truly believed his lie at the time. Reynolds, however, jokingly suggested that his response at the time was “his safe word” and that it did not mean anything.
Jackman, however, revealed that he never had more fun playing Wolverine in any other movie compared to his role in Deadpool & Wolverine.
Will Hugh Jackman return in MCU movies after Deadpool & Wolverine?
It is unknown if Hugh Jackman will return as Wolverine in future MCU movies as of this writing. This is because his future MCU appearances are currently unconfirmed.
As such, the one MCU movie Jackman could very likely come back in is Avengers: Secret Wars. This is due to the movie being rumored to feature nearly every major MCU or Marvel movie character.
Although Jackman’s future beyond Deadpool & Wolverine is currently uncertain, fans will no doubt get excited if and when he shows up again.
