After Jackman shared two intriguing photographs on his Instagram Stories that hinted at his return in a future Marvel film, rumors of him returning took the internet by storm.

On his Instagram stories, the actor showed fan art of Wolverine by BossLogic, followed by an old shot of himself posing with Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige.

Following Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox, the studio now owns the 'X-Men' and 'Fantastic Four' film franchises. While the 'Fantastic Four' is rumoured to be part of Marvel's Phase 4 release schedule, no mention of the 'X-Men' has been made.

According to reports on several internet portals, Jackman suggested to resuming his role as Wolverine, but in an Avengers film.

"Every time I saw an Avengers film, I imagined Wolverine standing in the centre of them all, punching them in the skull. But it was like, 'Oh well, that's not going to happen," said Hugh Jackman.

The actor also stated that, while he believes his chances of appearing in an MCU film are long gone, he is excited to see a fresh actor take on the part.
