Liam McIntyre Cast as Wolverine for Insomniac Game While MCU Film Role Remains Unnamed

Insomniac’s confirmed casting highlights Marvel’s cross‑media Mutant Saga rollout with the cinematic Wolverine replacement still pending.

Overview

Insomniac Games has cast Liam McIntyre to play Wolverine in Marvel’s Wolverine, using his voice, likeness, and motion capture for the character’s full in‑game performance.
Marvel’s Wolverine, the action game starring McIntyre’s Wolverine, is scheduled to release on September 15, 2026.
Marvel Studios used D23 and recent film cameos to unveil a young X‑Men ensemble that includes Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Christopher Abbott as Professor X, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, Maya Boyd as Storm, and Adam Driver as Mr. Sinister.
Marvel has not announced a theatrical recast of Wolverine for its planned X‑Men reboot and has not confirmed reports that Hugh Jackman will appear in Avengers: Doomsday, leaving the film succession for the role unresolved.
Hugh Jackman’s 26‑year association with Logan frames fan expectations and makes the game casting a notable early example of Marvel using multiple platforms to reshape the mutant franchise ahead of a May 5, 2028 target for the MCU X‑Men reboot.
