Jackman, Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., and a few others make it so hard to envision any other portrayal of the iconic cinematic characters. Jackman even holds the Guinness World Record for &#8216;longest career as a live -action Marvel hero&#8217; with an astounding 18 years under his belt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the acquisition of the rights to the X-Men characters and their properties <em>Disney<\/em> is to be looking for a new cast to play the mutants in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Jackman is done with portraying Wolverine he recently stated that may not have been the case in an interview with <em>Daily Beast<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;If seven years ago that had happened I\u2019d be like, \u2018Oh yeah!\u2019 but I knew it was the right time for me to leave the party\u2014not just for me, but for the character. Somebody else will pick it up and run with it. It\u2019s too good of a character not to. It\u2019s kind of like, you\u2019re on your way home and your friend rings you and goes, Oh, dude, a new DJ just came on and the music is awesome, are you going to come back? And you say, Sounds good but\u2026 no. They\u2019re fine with someone else.&#8221;<\/p><cite>via Daily Beast<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fans can only imagine what it would have been like for Jackman to lineup beside a star-studded cast like in <i>Avengers: Endgame<\/i>. Unfortunately the timing just wasn&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The X-Men will be introduced into the MCU sometime in the future with no set plans for these characters as of yet, all fans can do is speculate on their return to the big screen in the ever-growing Marvel Cinematic Universe.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nHugh Jackman is among a group of actors whose portrayals are so iconic it seems impossible to think of anyone&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=22332\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;With better timing Hugh Jackman would have been in the MCU&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":75,"featured_media":22333,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,2,3,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comics-2","category-comics-videogames","category-comics-cartoons-anime","category-tv","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
