Well tell you: actor Hugh Jackman is supposedly dropping hints that hell be reprising his iconic role as Wolverine in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). CBR reports how the rumor mill began to churn when Jackman shared some fan art of Wolverine on his Instagram Story.

While the photo was in honor of the recent passing of Richard Donnerwho helped to produce the original X-Men franchisethe Wolverine fanbase nevertheless went into a tizzy. Id pay whatever the f*** to see Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the MCU, commented one over-the-moon fan on a Twitter thread regarding the Instagram. Id be completely fine if they casted Wolverine as Hugh Jackman, another quipped. Other people who heard the news werent all too thrilled; some folks believe that Jackmans time as Wolverine is well and done, and that those in the moviemaking business should let sleeping carcajous lie. Im down for Wolverine in the MCU, and there was a time when I was down for Jackman being Wolverine for the MCU, stated another tweet. Please give Hugh Jackmans Wolverine the rest it deserves. If you want to do the Deadpool 3 road trip movie with Jackmans Wolverine, thats fine, but please stop there.  Jackman portrayed the cigar-smoking mutant in the comics first-ever film adaptation back in 2000. He has since then been lauded as one of the best portrayals of any comic book character in, well, ever (not that people werent skeptical of Jackman at first, of course). However, Jackman has been well documented saying that he is fully retired as Wolverine, as pointed out by Forbes. So, officially, the answer is pretty much no in terms of him coming back. That being said, anything goes in entertainment these days, especially where Marvel is concerned. This means that off the record (and for a lot of fans), the answer is then hopefully.
