I've never thought about that. I'm going to be over here cheering trying to not throw out my back.
YaBoiiAsthma2025-12-11 02:51
I know it's stupid fan service but I would be happy if they established that this Wolverine and this Peter were friends. I just wanna see everyone get along 🥹
somesnarkycomments2025-12-11 07:16
It's going to be like coming full circle for sure. I don't think I can put my finger on why, but I feel like Wade Wilson and Scott Lang are going to be a fun duo - and having a solid proprietor of the King's English such as Loki having a chance of attempting to converse with Gambit chewing up three dialects and spitting them on the floor seems like a good bit of fun too.
Aiyon2025-12-11 10:49
Is it? They're unconnected in my brain. X-Men and X-2 were rad, and the Raimi Trilogy is great too, but i reckon my response to seeing them cross over as fanservice in the background of an event movie will be "oh, neat!" lol
TypeExpert2025-12-10 16:56
Hugh i love you! But can we give someone else a chance???
ROBtimusPrime19952025-12-10 16:58
This is the end of the road, anyway.
Secret Wars is a final goodbye to these old actors, so I'm not expecting Hugh to stay forever.
A new Wolverine is likely on the way in a few years.
anthonyg15002025-12-10 16:59
Idk we’ve had like 3 final goodbyes already. I’m not convinced they won’t be like “well bringing everyone back made money last time.. what if we bring everyone back this time?!”

I wouldn’t count on that
mrbaryonyx2025-12-10 18:34

As a fan of Hugh Jackman's Wolverine all I can say is...
first time?
FX1142025-12-10 19:43
Why do they *need* a final goodbye?
matches-malone2025-12-10 20:16
You mean like days of future past was the final goodbye to the old cast? Or Logan was the final goodbye to the character? Or Deadpool was the final goodbye to the fox movies?
themosquito2025-12-10 21:06
I didn't even realize people thought DP&W was any kind of goodbye. Wolverine is still around by the end, hanging out with Deadpool, who is confirmed to be part of the MCU going forward, and they literally joke in the movie that he'll be doing Wolverine til he's 90, so I kind of just assumed Wolverine would be back!
CaptainCharisma5122025-12-11 09:04
Also with the exception of Henry Cavill, them showing that Hugh is multiple Wolverines in the multiverse, I'd assume we'd see another version of him again.
BartleBossy2025-12-11 16:08
Or when we said goodbye to RDJ?
demonoddy2025-12-10 17:05
He will be done with secret wars unless they keep him on as a mentor for the X-men but idk
HenryOnYt12025-12-10 17:10
He has to be in the next Deadpool movie.
demonoddy2025-12-10 17:15
I don’t think he does to be honest. I think the next Deadpool movie will be more X-men focused or Deadpool interacting with the main MCU characters more
HenryOnYt12025-12-10 17:17
It would be weird if the second main character of the first MCU deadpool movie just disappears.
demonoddy2025-12-10 17:18
Cable isn’t in Deadpool 3 and colossus and teenage warhead are barely in 3 too. It’s not that weird especially if Hugh jackman has a huge role in an avengers movie. Again who knows maybe they will keep him around
HenryOnYt12025-12-10 17:20
I'm telling you the Deadpool and Wolverine team up is just the beginning for a new trilogy.
demonoddy2025-12-10 17:36
I guess we will see.
themosquito2025-12-10 21:09
While true, the theme of DP&W is that Wade has friends and over time realizes he values them more and is happier with them than losing them for the sake of fame (represented by "joining the MCU", metaphorically). So while they weren't in the movie much, it was because thematically he had to realize he missed them. So not having them in the next one would be... odd!
demonoddy2025-12-10 21:32
Maybe the next one will be him making new friends in the rebooted universe lol
HenryOnYt12025-12-10 17:09
33 years, wait 33 years
Business_Barber_36112025-12-10 17:18
We will be getting a Wolverine game next year, so it should at least get some people ready to see a new version of the character in the mainstream. Still an Aussie playing him though 😂
AsterArtworks2025-12-10 16:56
He’s in doomsday and secret wars.

Small role in doomsday but huge role in secret wars if I had to guess

More importantly after the divorce, why would he want to? Shit it might not really be an option.
Canvaverbalist2025-12-10 18:01
And hanging out with half of Hollywood on dreamlike sets with the most wizardy of technicians, lets not forget that.
At a certain point you're rich enough that you can say no to whatever you want. But "fun" is one hell of an incentive.
Tyrath2025-12-10 19:21
> dreamlike sets
You mean green screen
natayaway2025-12-10 22:42
Virtual productions (LED walls), and setpiece props.
Stingerbrg2025-12-12 14:35
[They're moving beyond just green screens now](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StageCraft). Instead of the actors being on a green blank set and the background being added in post, they build the background first and show it on screens while filming and the actors can see it.
StretchAntique91472025-12-10 23:00
Disney offered me $1 to eat Pluto's shit. Not sure where Im supposed to spend this Mickey Buck though
NyriasNeo2025-12-10 17:01
“It \[Deadpool and Wolverine\] doesn’t feel like the end.”
Certainly not end of big paychecks.
demonoddy2025-12-10 17:05
That divorce probably drained him a bit lol. He needs bachelor money
Neveronlyadream2025-12-10 21:37
Maybe, but I bet Disney is throwing ungodly amounts of money his way that are impossible to turn down.
Hell, they paid Downey nearly $100 million to come back and that's what we *know* he got. I'm sure he's also getting a percentage somewhere along the line. If someone was offering me that much money for a role, I'd say yes too.
demonoddy2025-12-10 21:43
I’m sure he’s game to come back as long as they want him to. It just depends on the story they are wanting to tell
Neveronlyadream2025-12-10 21:45
I can't speak for Jackman, but I think in his position I'd always be game to come back too. It's a role people love, he makes good money, and the worst part of it is the workout.
As long as the story isn't terrible, it seems like a great gig.
demonoddy2025-12-10 21:58
Exactly. And he’s not exactly an actor that’s sought after for a ton of other stuff. He’s a good actor but I don’t see him doing generic dramas or action movies. He likes Wolverine and singing lol
prettyboylee2025-12-11 16:02
He was phenomenal in prisoner
demonoddy2025-12-11 16:08
Absolutely love that movie
raisingcuban2025-12-10 22:05
Sometimes I wonder if Redditors truly know what it’s like to be on a film set
geek_of_nature2025-12-11 00:28
Also he always used to say he wanted to be in an Avengers film.
ArnoldTheSchwartz2025-12-11 00:57
If they keep him in the suit, the workout could be toned down immensely. Making it even easier for him to make millions.
Neveronlyadream2025-12-11 01:00
Honestly, I wish they'd have him in a mentor role and Laura would be the main MCU Wolverine. Put her in the suit, Jackman doesn't have to deal with the workout routine.
No idea what their plan actually is, but I'm curious to see.
Soranos_712025-12-11 16:02
I would like it if he became a combat instructor for the Danger Room at the Mansion for upcoming X-Men and let X-23 become a thing. They could introduce the OG X-Men as MCU 616 and let Jackman be an older grizzled variant. They could use Secret Wars to introduce character variants we are familiar with and avoid a lot of origin stories.
Scherazade2025-12-15 10:36
it is a shame that apart from rogue in the first huge jackedman ones, and a smidge with laura, we haven’t seen a massive amount of Wolverine’s standard role from the comics: The Eternal Dad But Not Actually Your Dad So You Feel Somewhat Comfortable Acting Around Them Without The Shared Baggage to all the young uncertain heroes of the world. Heck we haven’t even had the friendship between a spiderman and a wolverine, a love-god damn you’re annoying but I respect your sincerity- relationship more secure than most marriages
demonoddy2025-12-15 14:38
We will get there. Either with jackman or a new actor
ShittyDBZGuitarRiffs2025-12-11 22:35
yes, it depends on the $$$tory they are wanting to tell
Scorkami2025-12-12 01:08
I vaguely remember him talking about the reasons why he quit the role back then and how he felt about it afterwards.
Wolverine was going nowhere. They kept him around for shirtless cameos and the occasional "and wolverines here too" story. So he wanted one role that took him seriously, which was logan, and then end on a high note. He immediately regretted it due to deadpool finally getting the green light after he had announced it, but by that point he already said be was done
Then deadpool not only succeeded, it also opened the gate to the avengers universe, so now that theres new stories to tell and that wolverine can get appearances that arent just "okay and you kill people while shirtless in this one" he is down to come back
demonoddy2025-12-12 01:15
Yeah I don’t blame him. Fox was a shit show he ended on a high note with Logan
RavingRationality2025-12-10 23:04
> I bet Disney is throwing ungodly amounts of money his way that are impossible to turn down.
Fox killed him. Disney brought him back. They're gonna make him do this till he's 90.
noob_world_order2025-12-11 19:56
_Til he’s 90_
ThisIs_americunt2025-12-11 08:03
Downey definitely got some revenue share, no shot he wouldn't put it in his contract
Gasparde2025-12-11 11:10
> but I bet Disney is throwing ungodly amounts of money
Let's see how long this strategy of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a handful of actors keeps working in this age of barely any film being able to break the 500m BO these days.
Apparently, the reason why people aren't going to the theaters anymore is because there's just not enough RDJ and Jackman for them, so naturally we have to reserve 100m of our 200m budget *entirely* for like 5 people.
frezz2025-12-11 02:32
When he retired after Logan he did say he would've stayed on if he could be part of the MCU. I think he just enjoys it.
The bags of money he earns are probably nice too though
demonoddy2025-12-11 02:52
I’m sure he does enjoy it. It’s what he is known for and it’s probably a fun role to play
Diortheking2025-12-10 17:05
We might actually get the trailer tomorrow theirs a supergirl countdown for something
leoboro2025-12-10 17:07

ContrarionesMerchant2025-12-10 17:27
The divorce seems rough
nipplesaurus2025-12-10 19:54
I read a gossip article about it last week. They're divorced but he still wants to spend time with his ex-wife. He has a new girlfriend, which his ex-wife doesn't like, and his gf doesn't like that he's spending so much time with his ex-wife. Weird situation.
Necessary_Piccolo2102025-12-11 01:24
I've been there (without his bank balance, of course). It's a virtually impossible needle to thread when kids are in the picture and you're trying to be a cordial co-parent to one person and a good partner to another. Especially when they dislike each other on principle without ever having met.
wiifan552025-12-11 02:17
This, and also relationships are complicated. When you've been with someone 20+ years, it's not like everything just goes away once you split. Sometimes people can still love each other without being right at that point in time to live together. And that certainly adds a wrinkle in subsequent relationships.
GrimaceGrunson2025-12-11 06:02
People keep saying this but maybe he just enjoys getting paid absolutely absurd sums of money playing a cool character who gets to stab a bunch of people with metal claws?

I feel alone in wanting him to finally be done so they can recast. I'm almost 40 and I don't feel the urge to see all these 2000s versions on screen again. I happily want to move forward. I find new casting much more exciting.
labbla2025-12-10 18:13
Oh I'm with you. I am 40 and so tired of those Fox X-Men being around forever. It's not nostalgia if they never go away. We've been in desperate need for really new X-Men for a very long time.
MooKids2025-12-10 22:40
I like Patrick Stewart, but I think he needs to rest and enjoy life. Unless he needs more [house repairs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Geese_II).
LegacyTom2025-12-11 17:22
They haven’t all been in a movie since 2014 and it was a small part compared to the new actors playing the younger roles..?
asspastass2025-12-11 20:25
I'm in the same boat at 26, and the 2000s superhero movies/the cast is a key part of my childhood and what got me into superheroes comics. I want to see new actors play these iconic characters.
denizenKRIM2025-12-10 21:14
That and it also feels in the inevitably of recasts for these legacy on-screen characters, it feels "too soon" because of recency bias.
Seeing a new Wolverine is more impactful when we haven't seen the character in so long.
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and all that.

Doomsday or Secret Wars will probably be Patrick Stewart's last major movie.
I have to imagine he's thinking about retirement after getting that Disney money.
CrabOpening14212025-12-11 07:24
Didn't Stewart already state openly that this would be his final role before he retires from acting entirely?
InTooManyWays2025-12-10 21:50

JtheIrishNerd42025-12-10 22:06
He's definitely gonna be back at some point in the next two Avengers movies, it's locked in. Depending on what they do with the Fox X-Men team, maybe we get two variants - one that's with the X-Men team (maybe thats a big early death to set up the threat of Doom), and then the variant we see in D&W.
Im hoping we get a great sendoff for him here before we move into the next Saga with hopefully a new actor. Although Jackman will always be my Logan, he can't do this till he's 90
BetterCallMaul1232025-12-11 00:26
Doomsday and Secret Wars can be tolerated but once the MCU X-Men are introduced, he really does need to pass the mantle.

electriclightthemoon2025-12-11 04:37
If he wants to keep playing Wolverine, that's fine. I was hoping we could get a recast but I think it might be jarring since D&W come out recently. If Logan has been his last film, it would be close to a decade since we've seen Wolverine so recasting would have been easier to digest.
dacalpha2025-12-11 07:00
Have him occupy a universe-displaced Old Man Logan, maybe \*with\* Dafne Keen as X-23. Then eventually she takes over the mantle or maybe the 616 version of Logan finally escapes Weapon x.
