- Why won’t Marvel let Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine retire in peace?
The actor himself has promised to accept all future cameos as the beloved claw-gremlin, but this will only wear out his superpowersThere was once a time when Hugh Jackman Wolverine cameos made a sort of sense. Bursting out of a cell in full Weapon X gear, massacring half a bunker, then vanishing, in 2016’s otherwise pretty forgettable X-Men: Apocalypse.
