Hollywood star Hugh Jackman has shared  that he will never say he is never playing  Wolverine again. Jackman announced he was done playing the iconic X-Men superhero after 2017’s ‘Logan’ which ended with the character’s death. But Jackman wasn’t being truthful, reports ‘Variety’. He returned as Wolverine seven years later in the 2024 Marvel blockbuster ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’.

He recently appeared on ‘The Graham Norton Show’, where he said, “Every time you’re on (talk show), you gotta go, ‘Nope, I’m not doing that again’. But then you keep making another one. And it’s a big big hit. So are you gonna have to do it again? Maybe. I am never saying ‘never’ ever again. But I did mean it when I said ‘never’ (the first time), until the day when I changed my mind. But I really did for quite a few years, I meant it”.

As per ‘Variety’, during last year’s ‘Deadpool and Wolverine’ press tour, Jackman admitted that his feelings about staying in retirement from Wolverine were complicated after he saw the first ‘Deadpool’ movie.

“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”, he told Fandango. “I rang Ryan (Reynolds). And I just said, ‘Let’s do it’. Like, I hadn’t rung my agent, no one. I had to ring my agent and said, ‘Oh, by the way, I have just committed to a movie’”. (IANS)
