At this stage, Hugh Jackman is going to be continually linked with reprising his career-defining role as Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe until someone else is cast as the mutton-chopped mutant. Despite reiterating on numerous occasions that he was done with the claws, speculation has persisted that Kevin Feige might be able to tempt him to return for one last outing.
Of course, Jackman’s retirement has always been tinged with a hint of regret on the part of both him and the fans, after he admitted that he would have definitely played Wolverine in the McU and gladly faced off with the franchise’s established roster of heroes if only Disney’s takeover of Fox had happened a couple of years earlier. As it stands, though, the 52 year-old got to bow out in pretty spectacular fashion anyway, with Logan widely regarded as one of the finest comic book movies ever made.
