Ever since 2024's *Deadpool & Wolverine* smashed box office records, fans have been wondering — has Hugh Jackman finally hung up his adamantium claws for good?

Well, in typical Marvel fashion, the actor refuses to give anyone a straight answer. But he is offering fans some hope.

During his Saturday visit to *The Graham Norton Show*, Jackman was asked to address the possibility of his return to the role. And instead of shutting it down outright, he made it pretty clear that anything can happen.

"Every time you're on, you gotta go, 'Nope, I'm not doing that again,'" Norton pointed out. "But then you keep making another one. And it's a big big hit. So are you gonna have to do it again?"

"Maybe," Jackman replied with a sly look to the studio audience. He then joked, "I am never saying 'never' ever again."

He continued, "I did mean it when I said 'never,' until the day when I changed my mind. But I really did for quite a few years, I meant it."

Jackman joked that after his many appearances as Wolverine, the studios have "got enough" to just add an AI version of him to the news films. He quipped, "In fact, I've done your show five or six times, I could be in the dressing room [right now]."

Jackman's teasing comes at a perfect time. Already, speculation is rampant about whether Wolverine or Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) could have a part to play in the next big MCU team-up movies, *Avengers: Doomsday*.

Prior to *Deadpool & Wolverine*, Jackman seemed to bid a definitive farewell to his superhero days with 2017's *Logan*. The acclaimed film not only wrapped up his character arc, but also included Wolverine's death. But the idea of reuniting Wolverine with Reynolds' Deadpool was too good to turn down.

"I was on my way, I was just driving, and literally, just like a bolt of lightning, came this knowing deep in my gut that I wanted to do this film with Ryan," Jackman told *Fandango* in 2024. "For *Deadpool and Wolverine* to come back together. I swear to you, when I said I was done, I really thought I was done. But in the back of my head, ever since I saw *Deadpool*, I was like, 'Those two characters together.' I knew it, I knew the fans wanted it ever since I put on the claws, people talked about these two. So, that had always been there, but I just knew."

For years, Jackman and Reynolds discussed the big screen team-up. Pitch meetings followed, a big corporate merger between Fox and Disney shook things up and eventually, the film came to be, as part of the expanded MCU.

Reynolds told* * last year that finally making the movie was "wish fulfillment." He added, "It's not a secret. This pairing has been something I've dreamt about for as long as I can remember."
