Marvel Rumor Claims Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Will Be Around For The Long Haul (And I So Hope Its Legit)

by

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is constantly expanding with new movies and shows available in theaters and on Disney+. While some releases have been more successful than others, *Deadpool & Wolverine* recently achieved record-breaking box office numbers. Many fans have been eager to see Hugh Jackman reprise his role as Logan in future Marvel films, and a new rumor suggests we might get some answers soon. I, for one, am hoping the rumor turns out to be true!

Hugh Jackman’s brief return as Wolverine caused a huge online buzz and significantly boosted the success of *Deadpool 3*. Now, rumors suggest Marvel Studios, led by Kevin Feige, wants to continue using him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. According to insider Daniel Richtman (via Screen Rant), Jackman isn’t just appearing in *Avengers: Secret Wars*, but could continue in future projects, even after the *X-Men* films are potentially reimagined for the shared universe.

Details about *Avengers: Doomsday* are scarce, and even less is known about *Secret Wars*. While the cast for *Doomsday* includes several original *X-Men* members, Hugh Jackman wasn’t among them. However, if this rumor is true, we might see Jackman in *Secret Wars* before he appears in other Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.

Disney+ offers a streaming library including Marvel Cinematic Universe and X-Men content. You can subscribe for as low as $9.99 per month with ads (price increases to $11.99/month on October 21, 2025). An ad-free plan costs $15.99 monthly ($18.99/month starting October 21, 2025), or you can save 16% by paying $159.99 for an annual subscription. See the deal here.

We should probably be skeptical of this rumor for now. However, considering Hugh Jackman’s long history as Wolverine and the huge success of *Deadpool 3* (particularly after *The Marvels* didn’t perform well at the box office), it makes sense the studio would want to continue their partnership. It’s becoming difficult to picture anyone other than Jackman as Wolverine in future films, even after seeing Henry Cavill’s appearance in *Deadpool & Wolverine*.

Details about Marvel’s upcoming *X-Men* movie are scarce since it’s still early in production. Most fans anticipate a fresh cast of actors will portray the mutant heroes, moving away from the previous actors from the 20th Century Fox films. However, recent reports suggest Hugh Jackman might reprise his role as Wolverine. Either he’ll return as the only familiar face, or his version of the character could exist in a separate universe, potentially leading to a multiversal appearance – something the MCU has been known to do recently.

After years of following the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans are excited to see the X-Men take center stage, both in the upcoming *Doomsday* project and their own dedicated film. Plus, the second season of the animated series *X-Men ’97* is scheduled to premiere next summer.

We should get answers to our questions when *Avengers: Doomsday* comes out in theaters on December 18th of next year, as part of the 2026 movie schedule. *Secret Wars* will then be released on December 17th, 2027. That means it will be quite some time before we know if the rumors about Wolverine are true.
