On his instagram account, Hugh Jackman posted a photo of him putting on the signature Wolverine claws with the caption “WOLVERINE …ONE LAST TIME”. See screenshot below:
Jackman has appeared as Wolverine in seven X-Men films since 2000 (this counts the one-scene cameo in 2011’s X-Men: First Class). This posting seems strange as the actor was quoted in February saying he wants to play the mutant superhero until he dies:
I said to my wife, ‘The moral is that I should never stop playing Wolverine. I’ve got to find a way to keep playing him until I die.’ I know that someday they’ll recast the role with another actor…I’d be happy if the role was eventually recast. It would mean that it had become iconic.
