Wolverine’s Claws Come Out: Is This an Avengers Hint?

by

Marvel prolonged the anticipation of unveiling the cast for Avengers: Doomsday by presenting five and a half hours of empty chairs to the audience first, but now they’re going even further. In celebration of National Stress Awareness Month, Marvel has uploaded an unusually lengthy video on their YouTube channel titled “Wolverine Breathing Exercise | Marvel Ambiance | Deadpool & Wolverine”. The eight-hour video, intended as background noise, focuses on a single moment: Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine taking deep breaths. This extended video has fans buzzing and speculating that Marvel might be planning something additional, hinting at further surprises.

The main eight-hour video focuses on Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, dressed in his famous yellow and blue suit from Deadpool & Wolverine, remaining still and taking deep breaths. At one instance, through Phase Hero, Jackman’s Wolverine draws out his claws, mirroring a well-known pose from Frank Miller’s cover for the first issue of Wolverine in 1982, created by renowned X-Men author Chris Claremont. Here’s a brief snippet of the modified scene.

Will Wolverine Return in ‘Avengers: Doomsday?’

Following the blockbuster release of Avengers: Doomsday, a fresh lengthy video featuring a renowned Marvel actor has sparked debate among fans regarding potential future appearances of Wolverine within the MCU. Despite both videos seemingly unrelated – the Wolverine video being uploaded to Marvel’s YouTube channel post-event as background noise, much like a calming fireplace clip – it does suggest that Hugh Jackman’s tenure as Wolverine may not be fully concluded yet. Regardless of the details, it seems Marvel is intent on keeping fans intrigued by the idea of Jackman’s Wolverine.

In the announcement of the cast for “Avengers: Doomsday,” it was unveiled that seven characters from the X-Men series would feature, with James Marsden as Cyclops, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, and Patrick Stewart as Professor X among them. Conspicuously missing from this lineup, however, was Hugh Jackman as Wolverine. This omission was surprising given that the combined box office earnings of “Deadpool” and “Wolverine” amounted to an impressive $1.3 billion and the fact that Jackman is arguably the most iconic actor and character from the Fox-era X-Men saga. If “Avengers: Doomsday” is a film bringing together both Avengers and X-Men, one might wonder why Wolverine would be excluded. Fans may find solace in the possibility that they will see Wolverine again in the upcoming “Secret Wars.

Audience members can maintain their excitement since both Kevin Feige and Robert Downey Jr. have hinted that what was shown during the live stream in relation to Avengers: Doomsday is just a glimpse of things to come. Halle Berry stated she won’t reprise her role as Storm, but Chris Hemsworth, who stars in Doomsday, has been vague about whether Berry will return for the movie. It’s likely that more popular X-Men characters will be announced at San Diego Comic-Con, an event where Marvel Studios usually makes a big impact. With Wolverine played by Jackman being a strong possibility, and following the brief teaser in Deadpool & Wolverine, the sequel to Avengers may finally give fans the long-desired confrontation between Wolverine and the Hulk that comic enthusiasts have eagerly anticipated for years.
