It’s been more than four years since the last Marvel Avengers movie, Avengers: Endgame, hit the theaters.

Such was the pushback from Tony Stark/Iron-Man and other superheroes toward Thanos’ insidious pursuit that the movie broke all records at the box office, amassing close to $3 billion in worldwide revenue.

More importantly, Avengers: Endgame left fans wanting more. The sheer demand and obsession for the Avengers has been reflected in the failure of subsequent Marvel projects, as fans are still stuck in their universes. Thankfully, two chapters are being developed to further the Avengers franchise.

Plans for Upcoming Avengers Movie Involving Hugh Jackman Revealed

Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, has so far done well to keep a blanket over potential plots and cast of upcoming Avengers chapters. Apart from the titles: Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars, there’s no formal confirmation on anything else.

Avengers: The Kang Dynasty should see Jonathan Majors (Kang) dominate the screen time. The issue, however, with the fifth installment of Avengers is the cloud of uncertainty over the future Majors, who is embroiled in controversy over different charges of assault and harassment.

Meanwhile, very little is known about Avengers: Secret Wars, which is scheduled to hit the theaters in 2027. The only thing that can be said with certainty is that the storyline – that is if it’s inspired from Marvel comics – will revolve around a cosmic entity Beyonder, which clashes Earth’s mightiest superheroes with villains on a planet known as Battleworld.

Now, Daniel Richtman has given some insight into a potentially big role in Secret Wars. It’s understood that Hugh Jackman had a meeting with Feige to discuss the importance of his character Wolverine in the movie. It is added that talks took place before the SAG-AFTRA strike.

Hugh Jackman to Join Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool 3

Avengers: Secret Wars has already seen its release date pushed back a year further than originally planned, and considering how Hollywood is more or less at a standstill due to the ongoing strike, one cannot rule out another delay.

But if any fan is too excited to wait that long to catch Wolverine, they can see him tearing villains’ limbs in Deadpool 3.

Jackman, who last used his claws in Logan back in 2017, will rock the comic book character’s yellow suit to join hands with Ryan Reynolds for the movie penciled in to release in 2024.

Shawn Levy will direct the movie, which will be integrating Wolverine for the first time into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This might irk some hardcore Logan fans who are very particular about timelines. Still, the Australian actor, who played the role frequently from 2000 to 2017, has assured there won’t be any mix-up on that front.
