Before delving into the finer details, we wish to tell you that these are just speculations and cannot be confirmed or denied at the moment. With that being said, Hugh Jackman might not ‘completely’ retire from the role of Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman Has Still Got It In Him

To delve into this theory, we need to go back to the time when the Marvel Cinematic Universe announced the concept of the Multiverse. Different characters, merging storylines, and, intertwining fates are all a part of this ever-expanding universe.

The MCU has also used this concept to bring some fresh faces to pre-existing characters such as John Krasinski inDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madnessand Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror and the hundreds of variants that he had.

But to introduce all these characters, concepts, and parallel words, it must lead to some sort of conclusion. Well, the upcoming Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds’ filmDeadpool & Wolverinemight just tear a hole in this multiverse.

It has been indeed theorized that the multiverse is going to get breached at some point. With Deadpool bringing in Wolverine from the FoxVerse, all the characters from the X-Men franchise will soon make their way over into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The actor had an iconic answer which gave hope to the millions of fans that he wouldn’t retire on the character of Wolverine.

I’ll probably end up doing it… “Shut up, Bub!” “Who said Bub?” “I said Bub…” Who knows? I’m fully aware that people will hear [this Days of Future Past] idea and think, ‘Ah, they’ve just come up with a way to bring everybody together’ right?

He further continued,

And the great thing is, I don’t have to sell it because I know the storyline is phenomenal.

So, this could potentially mean that Hugh Jackman might retire from the original role of Wolverine. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the actor has to leave the character completely.
