"Marvel Studios brought Jackman back for one last ride in Deadpool & Wolverine in 2021, which already felt gratuitous given his anti-hero's noble end in Logan. It helped that Deadpool mocked the actor's return, cheekily poking at Marvel and Disney's insatiable thirst for nostalgia. That Deadpool & Wolverine was positioned as the final final goodbye to the latter - and to all the characters in Fox's X-Men universe - also made Jackman's return feel a little less shameless."
"Per Richtman, the sun hasn't fully set on Jackman's Wolverine. The actor is already rumored to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, joining erstwhile X-Men co-stars like Patrick Stewart and Rebecca Romijn. But Richtman claims that there'll be yet more in store for Jackman, even after Secret Wars reboots the X-Men. "I hear the idea is to have Hugh Jackman in more Marvel projects even after [ Secret] Wars," Richtman recently shared."
Hugh Jackman returned as Wolverine in Deadpool & Wolverine (2021) despite Logan providing a noble end for the character. Deadpool mocked Jackman's return and positioned the film as a final farewell to Fox's X-Men characters. Marvel Studios plans an X-Men reboot after Avengers: Secret Wars to reset the multiverse and ideally recast a younger Wolverine. Industry leaker Daniel Richtman reports Jackman is rumored to appear in Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars and that Marvel may intend to include him in more projects even after Secret Wars. Marvel's continued reliance on Wolverine remains evident.
