Hugh Jackman has reversed his stance on retiring from the Wolverine character after initially appearing to make a definitive exit in 2017's Logan. The Australian actor confessed during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show that he will no longer declare any absolute departure from the clawed mutant role, acknowledging his return for the massively successful Deadpool and Wolverine proved his earlier retirement promises unreliable.
The performer admitted his resolve weakened after watching the first Deadpool film, prompting an immediate call to Ryan Reynolds to propose their collaboration before even notifying his representation. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige initially discouraged the comeback, warning against undermining Logan's powerful conclusion, but the multiverse concept allowed Jackman to portray a different version of the character rather than resurrecting his previous incarnation.
