RUMOR: Hugh Jackman Will Remain On As Wolverine In The MCU After AVENGERS: SECRET WARS

Hugh Jackman is expected to return as Logan for Avengers: Secret Wars, but a new rumor is claiming that he will remain in the MCU after the massive 2027 event...

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.

At one point, Deadpool calls the portal a, “Marvel Sparkle Circle”. Mostly because while we were writing, I didn’t know what it was actually called. One of my favourite parts of this whole experience is hearing folks at Marvel call it a “Marvel Sparkle Circle” as well. As though… pic.twitter.com/6nbn40jbQl

Have you been to see Deadpool and Wolverine yet? If so, what did you think? Check out our review here, and drop us a comment down below.

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.

Shawn Levy directs Deadpool and Wolverine from a script by Ryan Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, and Zeb Wells.

Oldverine
Kids gona love him until he looks like dry cherky leather

@Malatrova15 - it's wild to me that we can now say only 2 people have ever played Wolverine in live action, Hugh and Henry Freaking Cavill.

Malatrova15 - 8/13/2024, 1:05 AM

@TheVandalore - you forget Bob Hoskins in that unproduced X.Men pilot only available in the Akashic Records

harryba11zack - 8/12/2024, 10:39 PM

good

DrReedRichards - 8/12/2024, 10:40 PM

"They're gonna make him do this 'til he's 90!"

Jokes aside, I don't see it happening. In Secret Wars, absolutely. After that, eh... Nah.

TheShellyMan - 8/12/2024, 10:43 PM

Eh, I don't know I feel about this.

Malatrova15 - 8/12/2024, 11:32 PM

@TheShellyMan - easy..you feel great

MisterDoctor217 - 8/12/2024, 10:44 PM

I’m going to put forward a petition to have a Henry Cavill as the new Wolverine

🙌

Malatrova15 - 8/12/2024, 10:51 PM

@MisterDoctor217 - and to stop bombing in gaza

CyberBishop - 8/12/2024, 10:55 PM

@Malatrova15 - drop the political $hit dickbag.

TrentCrimm - 8/12/2024, 11:01 PM

@MisterDoctor217 -

I know he hardly spoke but I actually really liked his Logan voice too. I'd really be ok with Cavill as Wolverine.

HashTagSwagg - 8/12/2024, 11:01 PM

@Malatrova15 - You caught one

McMurdo - 8/12/2024, 11:06 PM

@HashTagSwagg - lol on cue

Malatrova15 - 8/12/2024, 11:28 PM

@CyberBishop - please stop the insults as well as the genocide..open borders are cool

Malatrova15 - 8/12/2024, 11:29 PM

@HashTagSwagg - not gonna lie..he is kinda weird

MisterDoctor217 - 8/12/2024, 11:48 PM

@TrentCrimm -

Dude me too! I honestly never imagined he’d be so good at it. I know it was basically less than 30 seconds of screen time but he made an impression !

And the beard and hair looked great.

And he’s actually a bit shorter than High I think so he does look more bulky than slender and ripped , just like comic Logan.

TheFinestSmack - 8/12/2024, 11:55 PM

@MisterDoctor217 - thank you for being honest about never imagining he'd be so good at it.

TheFinestSmack - 8/12/2024, 11:57 PM

@CyberBishop - what's a "political $hit dickbag"? It's sounds filthy and gross.

MisterDoctor217 - 8/13/2024, 12:07 AM

@TheFinestSmack -

You’re very welcome

Absolutley not! Don’t do another Deadpool & Wolverine, it worked because everything came together perfectly, don’t drive it into the ground. Please just let all of these characters go out in a blaze of glory in Secret Wars so we can reboot the whole thing! I really want to see Wolverine and past Captain America interact! I want to see a late 20’s early 30’s cast for the X-Men so we can get a few comic accurate movies! I want to see Storm hook up with T’Challa!

JackBurton1 - 8/12/2024, 10:57 PM

D&W and Twisters...two way overrated movies because of how many turds Hollywood puts out these days.

TheUnworthyThor - 8/12/2024, 10:59 PM

I wouldn’t if I were in charge but okay I guess if Hugh Jackman really wants to stick around that long (although that sounds insane to me). But no Scott/Jean/Logan love triangle, Jean and Scott are just going to have to be a happy couple and Logan is an old man doing old man things.

TheVisionary25 - 8/12/2024, 11:06 PM

@TheUnworthyThor - love triangle stuff is the least interesting thing you could do with him

Have him be a mentor/father figure to the likes of Rogue ,Jubilee or Kitty.

LSHF - 8/12/2024, 11:00 PM

I "do" want to see him as Wolverine, working with some other MCU super heroes for at least a couple of additional films.

SPQR - 8/12/2024, 11:03 PM

A billion dollars says quite a lot.

IronSpider101 - 8/12/2024, 11:04 PM

At this point if Marvel wanted to reboot the X-Men from the ground up, they'd have given us a chance to forget the X-Men from the Fox series and let the public forget about them. Instead, since the acquisition of Fox, the MCU has included the Fox X-Men casting THREE times, each of which features the classic casting with Cartoon/Comic accurate designs. Hell, the whole "Deadpool and Wolverine" movie essentially hammers home the idea in audiences heads that Jackman is irreplaceable as the Wolverine character.

It seems pretty clear to me at this point that the plan for the X-Men is just to keep the most iconic castings from the Fox movies but give them 90s cartoon aesthetics.

Evansly - 8/12/2024, 11:11 PM

Til he's 90!

TheVisionary25 - 8/12/2024, 11:16 PM

Tbh , I could see this being true…

He’s openly said DP & W is the most fun he’s had playing Logan so I could see him wanting to work with Ryan more as those characters and be part of the MCU.

However dude is 55 and while we can all joke about him doing this till he’s 90 , he had already stated around The Wolverine time or so that he couldn’t deal with his diet anymore as he was getting older so at some point (sooner then later) he wouldn’t be able to maintain his physique and will stop which I could see being Secret Wars.

Anyway , I personally would like a clean slate with the X-Men post SW so new actors in all the roles so I hope this isn’t true.

CaptainMexico - 8/12/2024, 11:17 PM

The Cavilrine is the only way to go now.

TheVisionary25 - 8/12/2024, 11:19 PM

10 films over 24 years is a hell of a thing…

BruceWayng - 8/12/2024, 11:30 PM

God, remember the days when Marvel actually had a plan and mapped out entire phases. They’ve pretty much reached the point where they’re doing the sane shit that Fox, Sony and WB use to do in terms of continuity and just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks. Get it together Feige! You’re running out of emergency glass to break.

TheFinestSmack - 8/12/2024, 11:32 PM

Oh sweet. Another rumor from a source this very site said was shite previously. Such journalistic integrity.

HermanM - 8/12/2024, 11:37 PM

Gonna be doing this til he's 90

Jackraow21 - 8/12/2024, 11:37 PM

MTTSH… ignore.

Huskers - 8/12/2024, 11:44 PM

Why not it worked out so well when they thought Harrison Ford was the only one that could play Indiana Jones and pushed him way past his sell by date…TWICE!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

RockBottom - 8/12/2024, 11:45 PM

NOOOO. Plz. New Wolverine. Don’t RDJ it. Just find a new actor.

DTor91 - 8/12/2024, 11:49 PM

You know…the incessant “rumor” articles oversaturate the site as is, but seriously still going to post the ones from MTTSH of all people? There was a thread just the other day on Twitter that showed EVERYTHING they said about Deadpool & Wolverine was flat out wrong.

One of the reasons I used to love coming to this site, going as far back as 2010 or so, was because this place would beat others to the punch when it came to actual news and scoops. Nowadays, not only is that not the case, more often than not it’s these so called rumors (people clearly making it up,) or just what feels like an infinite amount of broken down quotes split into multiple articles focusing on one subject matter.

And yeah yeah, I clicked on it and “rUmoR aRTicLeS GEt tHe MoSt tRAfFiC,” but god damn it if this is going to keep happening, at least pull from actually reputable sources.

TheFinestSmack - 8/12/2024, 11:53 PM

@DTor91 - agreed 100% but these contributors don't give af. It gives them something to write about, whether the content is based on lies or not. It's embarrassing at this point too.
