A Wolverine Solo Movie Would Be Hugh Jackman"s Worst MCU Future
As Deadpool 3 brings Hugh Jackman back to his famous claws, the actor signing on for another Wolverine solo movie would be the worst possible future for him in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadpool 3 is reported to start production in London this May. The movie features Jackman as Wolverine alongside franchise star Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool/Wade Wilson, in what will be the first time the characters enter the MCU — following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, which reverted the rights for the X-Men and the Fantastic Four back to Marvel Studios.
Jackman originally hanged up the claws with 2017's Logan, a movie where Wolverine's healing powers were not working properly anymore, which in the end led to a heartbreaking moment with Logan dying and then Dafne Keen's Laura turning the cross on his grave into an "X" to represent the character's X-Men past. After such an emotional and beloved finale for the character, Jackman's return caught the world by surprise. While a buddy film with Deadpool is a good method to bring the character back, another solo Wolverine movie would be Jackman's worst MCU future.
