Jackman's 'Internal Chip' Joke on Wolverine Return
10 Oct
Summary
- Hugh Jackman humorously referred to an 'internal chip' when asked about reprising Wolverine.
- Speculation about his return is fueled by workout videos and marketing stunts.
- Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars are slated for December 18 and December 17, 2027, respectively.
Hugh Jackman has kept fans guessing about his potential return as Wolverine. When recently questioned about reprising his iconic Marvel role for the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars, the actor offered a cryptic and humorous response, referring to an "internal chip." This statement alludes to the significant caution he exercises to avoid leaking any details about Marvel Cinematic Universe projects, a common practice for actors working with major studios like Disney.
Speculation surrounding Jackman's return has intensified. The upcoming films Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars are anticipated to feature characters from outside the current MCU continuity, including original actors from the X-Men franchise. This detail, coupled with Jackman's recent workout videos and an amusing "hostage video" alongside Ryan Reynolds, has led many to believe his Wolverine will indeed reappear.
Despite Jackman's efforts to deflect rumors, the circumstances strongly suggest his involvement. Secret Wars is being billed as a major culmination event, and Marvel is preparing to phase out the original X-Men before a reboot. Therefore, Jackman's appearance in either Avengers: Doomsday, opening December 18, or Secret Wars, releasing December 17, 2027, seems highly probable.
