Hugh Jackman has denied rumors that he'd render as Wolverine in the Curiosity Cinematic Universe, and he's right to stay abroad. The actor was mostly unknown when he fabricated his debut as Wolverine inTen-Men in 2000. Since then, Jackman'southward distinctly different Wolverine appearances have seen highs in films such equallyX-Men: Days of Future Pastand lows inX-Men Origins: Wolverine.Now, more than than two decades afterward, Jackman has become synonymous with the character. And with his Wolverine connection, at that place are constant rumors and questions nigh the player possibly coming dorsum.

Though Deadpool 2 brings Jackman back equally his clawed character in repurposedX-Men Originsfootage, the actor made his final Wolverine appearance in 2017'sLogan. In the motion-picture show, Jackman's Wolverine, whose healing powers are waning, cares for an bilious Professor X (Patrick Stewart). He plans to stay away from the globe until a immature mutant with Wolverine-like powers, X-23 (Dafne Keen), appears in his life. Unfortunately, thugs are hunting the mutant, and Wolverine takes it upon himself to go her to safety. He ultimately sacrifices himself to save the kid, getting a poignant goodbye in a grave marked with an X, which honors his history and the X-Men.

Despite rumors, Jackman recently shut downwardly the idea that he'd return to the Wolverine role. The actor himself stoked the flames of a Wolverine return, sharing Wolverine artwork on his Instagram story and a photo of himself with Curiosity boss Kevin Feige. The images led to speculation of a Wolverine improvement in the MCU; yet, Jackman cleared up the Wolverine rumors in an interview withSR promoting his upcoming picReminiscence.Jackman said Feige is but a friend, and Wolverine is in his "past." The answer may be disappointing to fans, but the thespian is making the correct decision. He shouldn't return as Wolverine.

Jackman already gave everything to the Wolverine part. The histrion spent around 17 years as Wolverine, often being a highlight even when the flick wasn't a brilliant spot. In addition to the massive amount of fourth dimension dedicated to the Wolverine character, the role was taxing physically and mentally. His appearances put him through periods of fasting, bulking upwards, cut weight, losing sleep, and following carefully calibrated diets. For his last appearance in Logan, Jackman put himself through a hellish regiment. Before appearing shirtless on screen, the actor would deprive himself of water for a day and a half. With all that Jackman put into the role, he doesn't owe anyone anything.

Additionally, Logan was the perfect sendoff for Jackman'southward Wolverine. Unlike previous X-Men installments, the picture, based on the Old Man Logan comics, isn't focused on selling merchandise. Instead, it'due south a bold, tragic, and thoughtful good day. The R-rating allows the picture to requite a raw, mature reflection on Wolverine's past. There's extreme violence, powerful dialogue, and even Professor X giving a Taco Bong monologue. The picture show truly has it all. The aged Wolverine even gets a heroic last burst as his former self, destroying enemies to save the next generation of mutants and pass on the torch to Ten-23 for a possible Logan spinoff. With such a flawless adieu, Jackman is justified in his decision to stay away from another Wolverine  flick or cameo, continuing to be an ex-X-Men.
