Marvel Studios Has Reportedly Found Its Wolverine

Even though what he does isn’t very nice, Wolverine is, of course, the best there is at what he does. And for two decades, Wolverine was the best there was at carrying Fox’s otherwise unremarkable X-Men franchise on his back with Hugh Jackman carving out an iconic place in film history as Weapon X. Though Jackman thought he’d bowed out of the role following 2017’s Logan, it turned out the actor had one more turn to take, bringing the character into the MCU in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine. It’s safe to say that despite the hard work to get back in shape for the role, it was a win for everyone as the film put Marvel Studios back on top at the box office and Jackman admittedly had a great time working with friends Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy on the film.

With Deadpool & Wolverine serving as a farewell to the Fox universe and Marvel Studios preparing to move ahead with its own version of the X-Men, rumors have once again begun to fly about who will fill the role of Logan in the MCU. And as word about the roster of the MCU’s team of X-Men hits the web, there is reportedly a leader in the clubhouse to portray Logan…at least in the short term.

According to MCU insider Daniel RPK, Marvel Studios is hopeful that Jackman will stay on as Wolverine, not only for Avengers: Secret Wars but potentially beyond.
