Hugh Jackman Says He Will Keep Playing Wolverine for Years

Actor Hugh Jackman has indicated he intends to continue playing the superhero Wolverine for many years to come, humorously suggesting he will portray the character until he is 90 years old. The 57-year-old actor made the remarks in a recent interview, addressing his future with the role and his thoughts on any eventual successor.

Jackman, who first played Logan/Wolverine in 2000's "X-Men" and most recently returned in 2024's "Deadpool & Wolverine," stated he plans to keep playing the part as long as Marvel Studios allows. When asked what advice he would give to a future actor taking on the role, he said he would offer none, preferring to let a new performer make the character their own. He explained that no one gave him guidance when he started, and he had not read the comics beforehand, allowing him to develop his own interpretation over time.

The actor's future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe remains officially unconfirmed. While several veteran "X-Men" cast members, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, and Rebecca Romijn, are confirmed to appear in the upcoming "Avengers: Doomsday" scheduled for release on December 18, 2026, Jackman has not been announced for that film...
