Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige Smiling and Hugh Jackman Frowning as Wolverine in Deadpool 3 and Logan
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A few years before Deadpool & Wolverine became the biggest movie event of the year, Marvel Studios CEO Kevin Feige advised Hugh Jackman not to reprise his iconic X-Men movie role in the MCU. Shawn Levy's upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine may be the biggest MCU movie since Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Soon after that, and soon after the Disney/Fox takeover had been announced, Feige had breakfast with Hugh Jackman, the actor who had played Logan across 17 years and nine movies. And there, Feige did something unexpected too. Rather than ask Jackman to reconsider his decision to hang up his claws, and come play with Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Feige told Jackman to enjoy his retirement. "We were in the midst of Infinity War and Endgame," recalls Feige.
That morning in the summer of 2022, Jackman had been on a call with his agent, who had said, "Dude, you're at such a great point in your career. You can do anything you want. What do you want to do?" Jackman didn't have an answer. After seventeen years and nine Wolverine movie appearances in the X-Men franchise, Hugh Jackman clearly maintained a deep appreciation for Wolverine. And despite the large number of comic book-inspired and original storylines Wolverine participated in across Fox's X-Men movies, many ideas remained unexplored by the time Wolverine died in Logan.
