In an interview with Screen Rant, Jackman was asked about his ideal Marvel movie scenario, if only those pesky rights issues were no longer a problem. Would he want to appear as Wolverine in an "Avengers" flick?
"If that was on the table when I made my decision, it certainly would have made me pause," Jackman told the site. "That's for sure. Because I always love the idea of him within that dynamic, with the Hulk obviously, with Iron Man, but there's a lot of smarter people with MBAs who can't figure that out . You never know."
While that last sentence from the actor does leave the door open ever-so-slightly for a potential Wolverine return, it seems highly unlikely -- in this lifetime, anyway -- that either Fox or Marvel will budge on their stronghold on these characters. And that's probably for the best. After all, Jackman has already shaved off his Wolverine beard; it would be a pain to have to regrow that sucker.
