Hugh Jackman has been officially confirmed to reprise his role as Wolverine in Marvel’s ‘Avengers: Secret Wars‘. Before the strikes, Jackman met Kevin Feige to talk about Wolverine in “Secret Wars.”
Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine Plays Major Role in ‘Secret Wars’ Following ‘Deadpool 3’; Kang the Conqueror Confirmed as Main Villain
Reports indicate that Jackman’s Wolverine will play a “major part” in the storyline, which picks up after the events of ‘Deadpool 3‘. Kang the Conqueror, played by Jonathan Majors, is set to be the main villain in “Secret Wars.” It’s unclear if the movie will follow the well-known 1980s storyline where the Beyonder brought Marvel characters to Battleworld. That storyline had a big impact, leading to Venom’s creation.
‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ is a sequel to previous Avengers movies, including “The Avengers,” “Age of Ultron,” “Infinity War,” “Endgame,” and “The Kang Dynasty.” The film is the forty-sixth installment in the MCU, serving as the final chapter of Phase Six and The Multiverse Saga. The script is penned by Michael Waldron, and the director has not yet been announced.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige told about what led him to announce multiple projects in a short time. Feige said the studio is “in a slightly different rhythm now,” crediting their presence on Disney+ as enabling them to do more projects in fewer years.
Feige added, “And it felt like we needed to let people know — people used to have that guide point of when an Avengers would come to cap the Phase — it felt like announcing today that the Multiverse Saga and two Avengers films would cap that was something that we needed to share.”
‘Avengers: Secret Wars’ will hit theaters on May 7, 2027.
