Overview
- Jackman, speaking Thursday in interviews with PBS and Project Big Screen, joked that at 57 he plans to play Wolverine “till I’m 90,” signaling a continued personal willingness to return to the role.
- He said he will not offer advice to whoever eventually plays Wolverine, arguing that no one guided his own early performance and hoping a successor will make the role their own.
- Marvel Studios has not confirmed any future appearances by Jackman’s Logan or by Deadpool despite casting returns for several original X‑Men actors in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
- Marvel is developing an X‑Men reboot directed by Jake Schreier that is expected to seek younger leads while Deadpool & Wolverine established Jackman’s Logan as a multiverse variant that the studio could reuse without blocking a recast.
- Jackman’s public intent to keep playing Wolverine could delay a long‑term recast or shape how Marvel uses the character in ensemble films, but reports of specific future appearances remain unconfirmed and speculative.
