Speculation regarding Hugh Jackman's comeback as Wolverine in ' Avengers: Doomsday ' has hit new levels following a recent photo post by his veteran stunt double, Daniel Stevens. According to a report in Comicbookmovie, Stevens posted on social media that he is working at London's Pinewood Studios, which is the verified location of filming for the next Marvel blockbuster. The news has renewed speculations regarding Jackman's future within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Earlier this week, Jackman also shared a video on Instagram that fans suspect could be him preparing for a character, again sparking rumors about his return as the legendary mutant. Although the video did not explicitly state anything, the timing of the upload, together with Stevens' check-in location, has piqued the interest of fans and insiders.

Familiar faces and fan favorites join epic ensemble
Daniel Stevens, a stunt veteran, has been directly linked with Jackman's interpretation of Logan in numerous films. Still, he has doubled for other top heroes such as Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, and Chris Hemsworth's Thor. All three actors are already set to show up in 'Avengers: Doomsday,' leaving it open whether Stevens is doubling for any of them rather than Jackman.
Nevertheless, the timing has sparked rumors that Jackman may be getting back into the costume after last year's successful Deadpool & Wolverine cameo. During a recent interview, Jackman was questioned about his future and responded cryptically, "I really can't say much, except when you say 'appear,' it's more like dominate and destroy every other character. I'm kidding." He continued, "I really have nothing to add, and if I did, I would find a really cool way to not say it, but I actually have nothing to add."
'Avengers: Doomsday' is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and written by Stephen McFeely, who had worked with the duo before on 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' The movie stars a diverse lineup of returning and new actors, including Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, Letitia Wright, Sebastian Stan, and Robert Downey Jr.
The film will also be the Avengers franchise debut of Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Hannah John-Kamen. Cast members of the 'X-Men' and Fantastic Four franchises have been confirmed as well, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Channing Tatum, who appears in Deadpool & Wolverine.
'Avengers: Doomsday' will release in theaters on December 18, 2026, with 'Avengers: Secret Wars' on December 17, 2027.
