After bidding farewell to Wolverine with his death in 2017’s Logan, actor Hugh Jackman might be hinting at a possible return to the character. At least that is what it looks like after Jackman first posted fan art depicting Wolverine, and then followed it up with a photo featuring himself and Marvel boss Kevin Feige.

It is to be noted that the Hollywood star had once said that if the X-Men franchise was introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he would continue playing Wolverine in subsequent movies. However, there is no official confirmation yet.
