Hugh Jackman knew an epic superhero team-up like Avengers: Doomsday was coming all along.
“I believe… maybe I’m optimistic. I understand at Marvel, they’ve got Avengers. They’ve got a lot of big things going on,” Jackman said during a 2013 press junket for The Wolverine. “I find it almost impossible that there’s not a way [to take] Iron Man, all the Avengers characters, Wolverine, the X-Men characters, Spider-Man… and somehow get them in all together.” You can check out the brief clip below.

Though Wolverine dies at the end of James Mangold’s Logan, Deadpool and Wolverine sees the Merc with a Mouth quite literally dig up Wolverine’s grave and introduce a new variant to the MCU. It’s worth noting, however, that this does not make Jackman the official Wolverine of Earth-616… and that another could be on the way.
In terms of seeing even more new characters in Doomsday, we’re eagerly awaiting the proper introduction of the Young Avengers after Agatha: All Along introduced us to Wiccan (Joe Locke) and Speed. We also have Avengers: Secret Wars to look forward to…
Avengers: Doomsday arrives in theaters on December 18. For more on Marvel Phase 6, keep up with all the upcoming Marvel movies and TV shows on the way.
