After portraying Wolverine for the last time in the 2017 film, Logan, fans thought Hugh Jackman will never be X-24 again. Even the actor himself thought he was done with the character until he realized he was not.

In Mangold’s recent interview with Variety, he revealed how he felt about Jackman’s return as Wolverine.

The 59-year-old director wished Logan should have been the final performance of Jackman as Wolverine. However, he knew there would always be another Wolverine. “There could be a baby Wolverine and a cartoon Wolverine,” said Mangold. He believed people would not leave the character alone until there was nothing left to explore. Therefore, while agreeing to let Wolverine be back, he expressed his true wish for the character to be left alone.

Nevertheless, the director himself also approved the return of the character, Jackman once revealed, albeit with some reluctance. Although Mangold’s feelings have significance, there is one more thing about Wolverine that fans should know.
