Jackman Open to More Wolverine Movies, Deadpool Crossover Coming in 3 Years?

While we only learned the actual title a few months ago, we’ve known for years thatLoganwill beHugh Jackman’s last performance as Wolverine, a character he has been playing for almost 17 years now, since the firstX-Mendebuted in the summer of 2000. Lately, though, the actor has hinted that there may be a possibility of returning, perhaps for aDeadpool vs. Wolverinemovie thatRyan Reynoldshas been clamoring for. With just a few weeks left untilLoganhits theaters,Hugh Jackmanagain leaves the door open for Wolverine’s potential return in a new interview. Here’s what he had to say below about whether or not this is the finalWolverinemovie.

When I had the script, I was like, ‘Yes.’ And when I was shooting the movie, yes. As I sit here today, yes. God knows how I’ll feel in three years. But right now, absolutely."

There had been rumors thatDeadpoolwould surface inLogan, but those reports were shot down, although sources claimed that another potentialDeadpoolandLoganreunion may happen, but no details were given. Given the massive success ofDeadpool, a movie whereHugh Jackman’s actual name is dropped several times in various jokes, it would be interesting to seeDeadpoolandHugh Jackmancome together, but how that may happen is unclear at this point. Perhaps three years will be enough time away from the character forHugh Jackmanto return for aDeadpool vs. Wolverinemovie, which could perhaps round out theDeadpooltrilogy after the original blockbuster andDeadpool 2, which starts filming this summer for a potential 2018 release. For now, though the actor is done playingLogan, revealing in hisNew York Timesinterview that he is not retiring from acting all together, while adding that he has less self-doubt about his performance inLoganthan he’s had in any other movie.

“Let’s be clear, I’m not retiring. There’s been a gnawing turmoil that I hadn’t really nailed it, fully, either story or performance or whatever. Every film I’ve ever done, I’ve had that gnawing doubt. But I have it way less in this one.”

Even ifHugh Jackmandoes return for aDeadpoolcrossover between now and the next three years, the actor still won’t be playing Wolverine/Logan forever.Hugh Jackmanhas said in the past that he fully expects the Wolverine character to be rebooted at some point in the future, and while we are probably a few years away from that happening,Hugh Jackmansays he’s at peace with it, unless one particular scenario happens.

“The character will go on. Someone else will play it, for sure. (I’m fine with it), unlessDaniel Day-Lewisplays him and wins the Oscar, then I might have a little problem.”

It was recently confirmed thatLoganis set in the year 2029, which is five years past the prologue ofX-Men: Days of Future Past. The story introduces the new mutantX-23(Dafne Keen), who Logan takes under his wing as nefarious forces try to bring her in.Hugh Jackmanleads a cast that includesBoyd Holbrookas the villainousDonald Pierce, along withRichard E. Grantas Dr. Xander Rice,Stephen MerchantasCalibanandEriq La Salle. Hopefully we’ll find out we inch closer and closer to the March 3 release date.
