Hugh Jackman made a surprise return for Deadpool and Wolverine after previously retiring as the fan-favorite mutant following James Mangold's Logan in 2017, but it was initially assumed that this would just be a one-off before a new actor takes over as the character in Marvel Studios' X-Men reboot.
Though we're sure another actor will eventually take over as Wolverine in the MCU, Jackman is expected to reprise the role for Avengers: Secret Wars, and might just stick around a while longer!
According to MTTSH, Jackman will stay on as Logan post-Secret Wars, and is keen to make more Deadpool and Wolverine movies with Ryan Reynolds. This is hardly surprising given the positive reception and massive success of the movie (it recently passed the $1 billion milestone at the global box office), and we're sure there has already been at least some discussion at Marvel/Disney about developing a direct sequel.

The MPAA gave the movie an official R-rating for: "Strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore, and sexual references."
“Marvel Studios presents their most significant mistake to date - Deadpool & Wolverine," reads the new synopsis. "A listless Wade Wilson toils away in civilian life. His days as the morally flexible mercenary, Deadpool, behind him. When his homeworld faces an existential threat, Wade must reluctantly suit-up again with an even more reluctantlier... reluctanter? Reluctantest? He must convince a reluctant Wolverine to - F*ck. Synopses are so f*cking stupid.”
In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman in the title roles, Deadpool and Wolverine will see Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Rob Delaney (Peter), Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead) And Shioli Kutsuna (Yukio) return as their respective characters, and they'll be joined by franchise newcomers Emma Corrin (The Crown) and Matthew Macfadyen (Succession), who will play a TV agent and Charles Xavier's evil counterpart, Cassandra Nova.
