Jackman: MCU/Avengers could've kept me playing Logan

[héad.casé]

Hugh Jackman has enjoyed an immensely popular run as the fan-favorite mutant Wolverine, but that will be coming to an end soon in the James Mangold-directed Logan. Recently, however, the actor revealed the one thing that might have gotten him to stay with the franchise.

A Wolverine super fan recently had the chance to watch Logan early (via ScreenRant), a film which currently enjoys a 4.29 out of 5 rating on ComicBook.com's anticipation rankings. In the follow-up interview, he asked Jackman if he would be on board for an Avengers movie, with all film right issues set aside for the hypothetical scenario.

"If that was on the table when I made my decision, it certainly would have made me pause. That’s for sure. Because I always love the idea of him within that dynamic, with the Hulk obviously, with Iron Man but there’s a lot of smarter people with MBAs who can’t figure that out [laughter]. You never know."

Jackman went on to pretty much confirm that he would have stuck around as the iconic mutant if his Marvel alumni had been involved. "At the moment, honestly, if I really did have them there, I probably wouldn’t have said this is the last. It just feels like this is the right time [to leave the character]."

Your move FOX.

Honestly I'm down for him continuing in the role. He's one of the few people I'm not tired of seeing reprising it, unlike RDJ.

[Kevin Hamilton]

It'll be a damn shame if we never get a Jackman Wolvie tusslin with the Hulk.

[Hit Girl]

He should stick with it. He's too iconic in that role.

He has said this before that he wanted to be in the Avengers...

but as I have also said before... yeah... most people want in the MCU for the money it makes... hey I want to be someone in the MCU and I'm not even an actor

To be fair in this case , it is not like Fox wouldn pay him very well to keep doing x man movies

But the majority of Marvel movies have grossed more than any of the X-men movies he played Wolverine in.

He can join the Avengers as D-man!

Besides Robney Jr. ,Jackman got paid more or equal than any of the main heroes of the MCU.


he was paid 20 Million for Wolverine.

I dont have figure for solo movies but Chris Patterson and a few other got 3 . Million

It would be amazing if Jackman is the one who could bring Marvel and Fox together to come to some sort of deal and bring the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool to the MCU.

I would rather not see him in any of the Avengers films as it was bad enough when fox felt the need to shoehorn him into everything.

I actually don't think Marvel would be down. They'd probably want to start from scratch.

But man, if anyone can make Cyclops cool again, it's Marvel.

Jackman should stick around and do one last X-Men movie with Reynolds in as Deadpool and C-Tate's as Gambit (scrap the Gambit movie).

They could very easily do that with X-Force. Just sub in Gambit for Fantomex and call it a day.

Honestly Wolverine's a character I want nowhere near Avengers.

They were just being true to the source!

Yeah, they probably don't want to be beholden to someone else's continuity.

Marvel and Fox are already talking to some degree.

Marvel needed to ok Legion, as well as the Mutant TV show they are shooting a pilot for.

Not to mention Negasonic Teenage Warhead's change in powers needed to be OK'd by Marvel which they did in exchange for the rights to another character.

If he isn't doing it they better not cast someone else.

So just never have Wolverine in a movie again? Fox'll probably go for that.

I'd hope Marvel would be able to make Cyclops awesome again and remind everyone why he's the leader, after how the X-Trilogy made him into little more than a background character who gets killed in his only scene.

As well as how The Wolverine Show turned him into a loser who was incompetent at everything just to remind everyone that Wolverine is the greatest
