Hugh Jackman Confirms ‘Wolverine’ Sequel Will Be His Last

Hugh Jackman hinted on Saturday that his days as iconic “X-Men” character Wolverine are ending, stirring up fans with an Instagram post.

“Wolverine… one last time,” Jackman captioned a photo of his fists, clutching the claws of his famous mutant character.

While bloggers and social media users debated the actor’s meaning, an individual familiar with the situation told TheWrap he is referring to a planned sequel of the 2013 standalone hit “The Wolverine.”

The character could feasibly appear in Bryan Singer’s forthcoming ensemble “X-Men: Apocalypse,” or in Ryan Reynolds’ spinoff “Deadpool,” but the insider says Jackman is pointing to the forthcoming follow-up that also has director James Mangold returning.
