AceShowbiz - Hugh Jackman was asked about reprising his iconic role as Wolverine in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday during a Good Morning America interview, but instead of responding directly, he deflected the question by cheering for the New York Knicks, Superherohype reports.

The actor was promoting his new film The Death of Robin Hood during the appearance, and Aol also detailed that this movie is a darker reimagining of the classic Robin Hood tale. The story focuses on an older Robin Hood grappling with the consequences of his violent past after sustaining a serious injury. The Death of Robin Hood is written and directed by Michael Sarnoski and stars Jackman alongside Jodie Comer and Bill Skarsgård. A24 plans to release the film in the United States on June 19, 2026. Additionally, Jackman will star as Long John Silver in Ridley Scott’s upcoming adaptation of Treasure Island, a project he joined after being impressed by Jack Thorne’s script, according to Aol.

Hugh Jackman is best known for his portrayal of Logan/Wolverine in X-Men and its sequels, which established him as a major Hollywood star. His extensive filmography includes over 50 credits, ranging from early roles in television dramas to blockbuster films like Van Helsing. He has also earned multiple award nominations, notably for his work in Logan and The Greatest Showman.

This evasive answer to the Wolverine question matters because fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation of Jackman’s participation in Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for release on December 18, 2026. Yahoo notes that while many of Jackman’s former X-Men co-stars are confirmed for the film, his name has not appeared on the official cast list. Given his recent return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3, his ambiguous response keeps speculation alive about whether he will once again don the claws for the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next big event.
