Hugh Jackman reportedly sets conditions for his potential appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars following his highly anticipated return as Wolverine in Deadpool 3.

Jackman's return to the Wolverine role surprised fans, as the actor had seemingly bid farewell to the character after the 2017 film Logan. The Deadpool and Wolverine trailer featured a subtle Easter egg that supports a compelling theory regarding the upcoming Avengers: Secret Wars film. In a brief shot, Ryan Reynolds' Wade Wilson is glimpsed lying next to a comic book from the 2015 Secret Wars Marvel Comics event, hinting at the potential significance of this storyline in the MCU's future.

According to scooper MyTimeToShineH on X, Jackman has reportedly communicated his willingness to reprise his role as Wolverine in Avengers: Secret Wars, but with specific conditions attached. The scooper claimed Jackman informed Marvel Studios he would only return forAvengers: Secret Wars if he could interact with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man. This revelation has sparked excitement among fans eager to see Jackman continue his involvement beyondDeadpool and Wolverine. The actor himself has also previously expressed his desire to remain a part of the MCU.

Marvel Studios may reboot the MCU following the release ofAvengers: Secret Wars. This approach would mirror the strategy employed by Comics, which used the event to establish a new continuity for the Marvel Universe.

While this potential reboot has not been officially confirmed, it presents an exciting possibility for the MCU franchise's future.

Deadpool 3 will see the return of several characters from previous Deadpool films, including Morena Baccarin as Vanessa, Brianna Hildebrand as Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Stefan Kapičić as the voice of Colossus. The film will also introduce new additions to the cast, such as Succession star Matthew Macfadyen and Emma Corrin, who is rumored to portray Cassandra Nova, Professor Charles Xavier's long-lost sister, and Deadpool 3's potential primary antagonist. This crossover event will mark Deadpool's official entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe following two successful films made outside the MCU continuity.

From Jackman's rumored conditions for appearing in Avengers: Secret Wars, it is clear that the actor is keen on sharing the screen with other iconic Marvel characters. Maguire's return as Spider-Man in 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home proved that bringing back beloved characters from previous
