Get ready for a wild ride, Marvel fans! The internet is buzzing with a juicy rumor that's sure to spark some heated debates. Hugh Jackman, the iconic Wolverine, might just be sticking around in the MCU for a lot longer than we thought!
You've probably heard the whispers before, but this time, it's a persistent rumor that Jackman isn't quite ready to hang up the claws. After his official retirement in James Mangold's Logan, we thought we'd seen the last of Jackman's Wolverine. But, surprise! He's back, and this time, he's teaming up with Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool in a raunchy adventure that had fans convinced it was his final hurrah.
But here's where it gets controversial... Rumors are swirling that Jackman will be reprising his role as Wolverine not just in Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, but also in an untitled X-project, possibly a new take on X-Force. And this is the part most people miss: Marvel Studios is reportedly planning to keep Jackman around for even more projects beyond Secret Wars. Wade Wilson's joke about Jackman playing Logan until he's 90 might not be too far-fetched after all!
So, will Jackman's Wolverine ultimately join the new X-Men roster as the MCU's Mutant Saga unfolds? It's a tricky question. Introducing a new, younger Logan, especially after he's become so synonymous with Jackman, is a bold move. Marvel/Disney might just opt to keep Jackman (and possibly some of the original Fox cast) in mentor roles, guiding the new generation. What do you think? Is this a brilliant move or a risky one?
And here's a fun fact: Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars have been delayed significantly, with Doomsday now scheduled for December 18, 2026, and Secret Wars following a year later on December 17, 2027. Both movies will be directed by the Russo brothers, who are making their MCU comeback after their epic run with Captain America and the Avengers.
The full cast for Doomsday is a who's who of Marvel superstars, including Paul Rudd, Simu Liu, Tom Hiddleston, and many more. It's an epic adventure in the making, and we can't wait to see how it unfolds.
