A new Hugh Jackman Wolverine movie seems more likely than ever following a recent report. Fans of the X-Men franchise are buzzing with excitement as speculation grows over the iconic mutant’s return to the MCU.
As Marvel Studios continues to expand the multiverse in its upcoming projects, many believe Wolverine’s comeback could tie into major crossover events. As a result, fans have even more reasons to anticipate his next appearance.
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Legacy
Jackman first brought Wolverine to life in the 2000 X-Men movie. Since then, he has reprised the role multiple times, appearing in:
- 2003: X2
- 2006: X-Men: The Last Stand
- 2009: X-Men Origins: Wolverine
- 2011: X-Men: First Class
- 2013: The Wolverine
- 2014: X-Men: Days of Future Past
- 2016: X-Men: Apocalypse
- 2017: Logan
- 2024: Deadpool & Wolverine
Clearly, Wolverine is one of Marvel’s most enduring characters, with Jackman’s portrayal leaving a lasting legacy in superhero cinema. Over two decades, his performance has shaped not only the X-Men universe but also influenced Marvel’s approach to integrating mutants into the broader MCU.
Trademark Filing Sparks MCU Wolverine Rumors
Earlier this week, reports revealed that Marvel filed a Wolverine trademark, which has fueled speculation that another MCU project may be underway. Although a trademark filing doesn’t guarantee a movie, it often signals that the studio is preparing for something.
Scooper MyTimeToShineHello added more fuel to the speculation on Twitter, writing:
“We are getting another solo Wolverine movie starring Hugh Jackman.”
While this is just a rumor, it adds to the growing excitement among fans. The timing is particularly interesting, as Marvel continues to explore the multiverse and prepare for major Avengers events, suggesting that Wolverine’s next story could play a significant role in upcoming narratives.
Could Wolverine Appear in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars?
Much speculation has surrounded Jackman’s potential appearances in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday (December 2025) and Avengers: Secret Wars (December 2027). Marvel has not confirmed his casting in either film, but Jackman recently shared intriguing comments on The View:
“For five years, I was like, ‘I’m done.’ And Ryan Reynolds would ring me a lot like, ‘Come on!’ I’m like, ‘No.’ And then I rang him one day and said, ‘I’m in.’ And so I go with this — and that’s what my gut says — it’s not done.”
Taken together, these words suggest his story in the MCU may not be finished. If Jackman reprises the role, it could open the door to exciting multiverse interactions with other fan-favorite mutants and superheroes.
Wolverine’s Potential Role in the MCU
If a new movie does materialize, it could explore untold stories from his past. For example, this may include unused X-Men lore or entirely new MCU adventures. Meanwhile, fans continue to speculate about Logan interacting with characters like Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, or the Avengers. In turn, this could help bridge the gap between the X-Men universe and the main MCU timeline.
Moreover, Jackman’s character could bring a darker and more mature tone to the MCU. In doing so, it would mirror his critically acclaimed performance in Logan and offer a refreshing contrast to other superhero films.
While nothing is official, these developments suggest Hugh Jackman could return to the big screen sooner than expected. Whether it’s a solo film or part of a larger MCU event, fans should stay tuned for updates from Marvel Studios. As the multiverse continues to expand, his next appearance could play a key role in the MCU’s future.
