Long-time Marvel star Hugh Jackman is asked whether Wolverine will be returning to theMarvel Cinematic UniverseinAvengers: Doomsday. The MCU is about to enter Phase 6 this summer with the arrival ofThe Fantastic Four: First Steps, but 2026 will finally see the return of the Avengers. After it was revealed duringMarvel Studios' surprise announcement live streamthat severalX-Menactors are reprising their roles inAvengers: Doomsday, many have been wondering if Jackman’s Wolverine will be sharing the screen with them again.
During his appearance onThe View, Jackman was asked by Sunny Hostin if he could say anything about the rumors that Wolverine will be inAvengers: Doomsday, with the film currently in production. However, Jackman had a very cryptic response, as he shared the following about whether fans will be seeing Wolverine inAvengers: Doomsday:
I really can’t say much, except when you say ‘appear’, [it’s] more like dominate and destroy every other character—I’m kidding. I really have nothing to add, and if I did, I would find a really cool way to not say it, but I actually have nothing to add.
What Hugh Jackman’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments Mean
For anyone who has followed the MCU, it has been well established that actors constantly have to keep things under wraps when it comes to major projects like theAvengersmovies. With someone like Jackman, who plays one of the most iconic X-Men characters of all time, it’s no surprise that his latest comments are very cryptic, given the larger scope of theAvengers: Doomsdaycast. However, with that in mind, Jackman’s response onThe Viewmakes it seem very obvious that he knows more than he is allowed to share.
Given how Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feige has teased moreAvengers: Doomsdaycasting newsis on the way, it would not be shocking if Jackman’s Wolverine is one of the many surprises they have coming up. From Jackman’s Wolverine legacy alone to the massive success behindDeadpool & Wolverine, it would be more of a surprise if the actor didn’t appear inAvengers: Doomsday. Given how manyX-Menstars have already been announced forAvengers: Doomsday, not having Wolverine there would be a huge waste, and it would be out of character for Marvel Studios not to stage that reunion.
Our Take On Hugh Jackman’s Avengers: Doomsday Comments
Knowing that moreAvengers: Doomsdaycast members are being revealed at some point, Jackman’s comments definitely come off as him not being allowed to share what is bound to be a poorly kept secret. Since Wolverine is one of the manymissing powerful Marvel heroes in theAvengers: Doomsdaycast, it feels like a safe bet that Jackman will be factored into the film, given the large threat that Doctor Doom will present to the whole multiverse. Hopefully, whether it’s at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con or a future event, the world will ideally know before 2025 is over if Jackman’s Wolverine is part ofAvengers: Doomsday.
