Hugh Jackman Teases Prolonged Wolverine Role, Mentions Time Capsule

X-Men star Hugh Jackman hints at continuing his role as Wolverine, jokingly suggesting he'll play the character until he's 90 and leaving a 'time capsule' for his successor.

Hugh Jackman has hinted that he may not be retiring his role as Wolverine anytime soon, despite Marvel's plans for a full X-Men reboot. The actor referenced a joke in Deadpool & Wolverine about playing the character until he's 90 and leaving behind a 'time capsule' for the next actor. While Jackman has not confirmed his return, fans anticipate seeing him in future Marvel films.

Although Jackman previously indicated he was done with the character after Logan in 2017, he later reprised the role alongside Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool. With the success of Deadpool & Wolverine, generating over $1 billion, the possibility of Jackman returning as Wolverine seems highly likely.

As Marvel prepares for its X-Men reboot, set to debut after Secret Wars in December 2027, the fate of Wolverine in the new saga remains uncertain. Eventually, Jackman will pass on the Wolverine mantle, but he hopes his successor will bring a fresh perspective to the iconic character.
