Today, we are going to discuss something that has caused great discussions on the web—Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine in the new Deadpool and Wolverine film.

Let’s try to understand what it means to develop the further MCU, the Jackman’s importance for it, and what this can mean to create the X-Men universe.
The Return of Hugh Jackman: A Dream Come True
Whenever it was announced that Hugh Jackman will be gearing up Wolverine again the Marvel fans worldwide did not disappoint. Still, given that Jackman played Wolverine, people believed that they could no longer see the character after the 2017 movie Logan. In Deadpool and Wolverine, his return is more than a cameo, it is an effective tactic for Marvel to simplify the integration process of X-Men into the MCU.
Ever since Kevin Feige, the architect of the MCU, got the power to greenlight movies, he wanted to have Jackman’s Wolverine in it. When Disney bought Fox, and the X-Men became the property of Marvel Studios, it was just a matter of time before Wolverine was going to pop up in the MCU. Nonetheless, when deciding to bring Jackman back instead of recasting Wolverine, Feige wants the audience to note that Marvel is trying to pay its respect to the character but also establish a transition towards the next generation.
What Does This Mean for the MCU?
That is why Hugh Jackman’s return is not just an appearance and fan service but the word that speaks about the development of the the MCU. Thus, by including Jackman’s Wolverine, Feige is probably hinting that the multiverse story arc will be a significant focus within the MCU’s future plans. This paves the wave for characters from other Marvel films to appear, which is a gold mine for crossovers and story arcs.
Also, the connection of Jackman to Deadpool and Wolverine adds a suggestion of the rough and shocking themes of Deadpool merged with the all-inclusive cinematic universe appeal of the MCU. It could pave way for more diversity in the franchise with other subsequent films that are to be produced. It is a prospect that may open a new era in the making and viewing of superhero movies.
Kevin Feige’s Vision: Nostalgia Meets Innovation
It is revealed in a way that it is the master plan of Kevin Feige to give a mixture of old and new attempts to accommodate Jackman. With the inclusion of Robert and other characters that have featured in previous Marvel movies, Feige is not only satisfying the old generation’s Marvel fans but also creating a way for new generation superheroes. This approach combines both the firm’s history imperatives and progressive pertinence to guarantee it is up to date while still maintaining tradition.

However, Feige’s vision also points to a sad reality: the possible last show for characters who have become dear to many. It could be Jackman’s swan song to his character Wolverine that has been in development for almost two decades. Looking forward, it’s very possible that as the MCU continues to expand more of such scenes where the mantle is shifted to the new characters will be portrayed.
The Bitter Reality: The End of an Era?
It seems awesome to have Jackman back as Wolverine, but there is a sort of melancholy with it as well. It could be the last we set our eyes on with him wearing the costume, it is the end of an era for X-Men. The MCU has prided itself on its potential to adapt, though change is not without its challenges as it goes from heroes fans know to those they gradually get to know.
This can come as a relief for some as Jackman’s return might pave the way for the Fox X-Men universe joining the MCU but at the same time, it is bidding goodbye to the beloved version of Wolverine. It is an important truth of the MCU and a sign, as this universe continues on and adapts, that the original heroes must be left behind.
