Hugh Jackman retiring as Wolverine without never once putting on the iconic Wolverine costume after 17 years in the role would be a crime against humanity.

If he appears in Deadpool 2, I'd say it's almost a certainty that he's in the costume.

 

[Anth0ny]

no shit

it was all about leverage for a bigger payday

dude is more jacked than ever, man


plus marvel needs to get the rights back with him still in the role, damn it >_<

 

[Slayven]

He should go to DC and play Mr.America

For Snyder to kill him

 

[sixteen-bit]

get that paycheck

 

[Dabanton]

Pretty much this.

Well played to him and his agent

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

He should go to DC and play Mr.America

For Snyder to kill him

And I thought, we could do something cool with him. Something interesting for the character. Then it hit me, "wouldn't it be cool if he died?"

 

[MegaManTrigger]

Jackman must've seen a lot of zeroes in that check.

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

Starring Michael Cera as Lex Luthor

Best thing about this joke is it would fit Deadpool perfectly and Reynolds would totally want to do it.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

If he doesn't don the classic suit at least once, I will be severely disappointed.

 

[Shaanyboi]

If he doesn't don the classic suit at least once, I will be severely disappointed.

Deadpool will make a crack about how Wolvie needs a new look, and they'll do classic 80's style mall dress-up sequence. Book it.

 

[PlayerOne]

Wolverine in Avengers Infinity War, please.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Best news of 2017 so far.

Just keep fucking Seinfeld away from him...

 

[itwasTuesday]

Wolverine in Avengers Infinity War, please.

Hey puts on the gauntlet and tries to rid thanos only to pop the claws and break it.

 

[shira]

aka pay up fox

Nah man he wants that Disney money.

Unite the clans

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Lol. This has always been a "I'll believe it when he's recast" thing for me. He loves the character too much.

 

[OldMan]

Change of heart perhaps? No actor played a superhero true to his original design that Hugh has with his Wolverine gig

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

I'd at least like to see him cameo in a Deadpool movie.

 

[BlanketFort]

Gut reaction was, lets move on and do more creative stuff... but, that said, I've had a change of heart too, Hugh. You slay as Wolverine. Keep going, I say.

 

[spindashing]

I don't know: Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man comes to mind.

 

[thecouncil]

All I want out of this guy, at this point, is to see him fight Hulk.

 

[Dash_Riprock]

At this point he could ask for $60 million up front plus a percentage and Fox would give it to him, no questions asked.

 

[iFirez]

I don't know: Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man comes to mind.

He oozes Tony Stark's personality too its crazy, he's pretty much him in real life... minus the flying suits of armor.

I adore Hugh Jackman, he's been great - even in the terrible wolverine standalone movies, he's the only thing that makes them watchable -- what am I saying, they're not watchable. Logan looks amazing though, I have faith - hopefully its not ill place faith.

 

[The Kree]

Of course Fox wants more Wolverine.

Of course.

 

[Dysun]

Hugh Jackman and Deadpool v2 are the best things FOX has ever managed to do

Pair them up

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

The timing may be wrong?

Yup, he's dying in Logan.

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

The timing may be wrong?

Yup, he's dying in Logan.

I don't see that happening

 

[Discotheque]

Hugh Jackman retiring as Wolverine without never once putting on the iconic Wolverine costume after 17 years in the role would be a crime against humanity.

it would be a crime against humanity to sully his perfect portrayal and legacy with that clown costume.

 

[jmdajr]

Fine with me brother!

 

[cLOUDo]

Why people says is for money
He even took a Paycut to Make Sure the movie Could Be Rated R

He clearly love the character and is very grateful about it

 

[strafer]

I DON'T WANT YO FJUTCHA!

 

[Admiral Woofington]

it seems every actor saying they'll drop X superhero character keeps backing away from the statement.

 

[illmatic22]

DO IT

 

[strafer]

it seems every actor saying they'll drop X superhero character keeps backing away from the statement.

Hopefully Chris Evans does back away after Infinite War. I want to see him direct and star in more non-superhero roles.

 

[i-Lo]

As a 5'3" Canadian, I hope to put in my application for the next generation is wolverine.

 

[rdytoroll]

Yes please

 

[gutter_trash]

Wolverine for life

 

[chrisPjelly]

I think he's sick of typical "PG13 but also have to appeal to kids" esque superhero flicks. Seeing his comments regarding Deadpool and Logan having more creative freedom makes me think that his potential return is only contingent on the films being R rated.

 

[CaviarMeths]

I don't give a shit about yellow spandex, but I would love to see him do another. Also need to see Yukio again, because she too damn fun in The Wolverine to be retconned out of existence forever.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Wolverine in Avengers Infinity War, please.

Nah man he wants that Disney money.

Unite the clans

Big things have small beginnings.

 

[jelly]

Good idea about a proper costume, that would awesome to see. Them thighs though, come on Jackman.

 

[CaviarMeths]

Dude is like 50 and eats a garbage truck worth of protein a day, probably shits out solid rock, give him a break. He can skip leg day if he wants to.

 

[Staccat0]

I kinda wish he was in other/better movies more often. His shoulders have gotta hurt from carrying these XMen movies.

 

[NMFried]

Jackman is Wolverine now. As much as I'd love to see him stay as the character, I think that X series has run its course.

Let Deadpool take the Fox reins, introduce X-Force and The New Mutants, then bring back the classic X-Men and Wolverine later on down the line.

 

[Rymuth]

Don't leave us, Hugh.

 

[Discotheque]

I kinda wish he was in other/better movies more often. His shoulders have gotta hurt from carrying these XMen movies.

yeah I wanna see him in more stuff like Prisoners and Prestige.

 

[TheSeks]

There was a rumor that Ryan Renyolds shot a Deadpool scene for Logan last month. But that got shot-down.

I could see Jackman doing it. I really don't see what else he has going on right now that would stop him from doing it and then retiring if he REALLY is tired of it.

 

[FyreWulff]

Jackman holding out for that MCU role in 2056

 

[Goro Majima]

Oh please let it happen with it being rated R

 

[Sesha]

He can't quit until we get an adaption of Remender/Opeña Uncanny X-Force.

 

[Glass Rebel]

it would be a crime against humanity to sully his perfect portrayal and legacy with that clown costume.

stop it fam

the last stand and the first wolverine did more damage to his "legacy" than putting on a costume in a deadpool movie ever could
