Hugh Jackman has made no secret of the fact that he would like to see Wolverine team-up with Captain America and Iron Man, but with Fox holding the rights to the character that's simply never going to happen no matter how good the relationship between them and Marvel becomes. Now, with Jackman insisting he's done after Logan, we have some news sure to break your hearts.
Talking to ScreenRant recently, the actor was asked whether he would have considered sticking around as Wolverine if he'd been given the chance to meet The Avengers, and his answer was understandably a resounding yes.
"If that was on the table when I made my decision, it certainly would have made me pause. That’s for sure. Because I always love the idea of him within that dynamic, with the Hulk obviously, with Iron Man but there’s a lot of smarter people with MBAs who can’t figure that out [laughter]. You never know."
He then went on to discuss the elements of Old Man Logan which they couldn't include in this movie, including The Hulk and his inbred children. Had they made the cut, Jackman points out that the presence of characters from the MCU would have seen him agree to sticking around a little longer. "At the moment, honestly, if I really did have them there, I probably wouldn’t have said this is the last. It just feels like this is the right time [to leave the character]."
What a shame, eh? We're now never going to see Wolverine meet Deadpool or members of Earth's Mightiest Heroes, but based on what we've heard, at least Logan is going to be the perfect send off for him!
