At a New York press conference for the movie Chappie, Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, was asked bout Wolverine joining the MCU… and things went a little further than that as Batman got dragged into the conversation too!
Firstly, when asked ig he thinks the X-Men will ever be part of the MCU, Jackman replied: “There’s so many forces at play there man, beyond what anyone would want. The thing I’ve always loved about the comic book world, the fun thing is how a writer of a comic book could just pull all these characters together. What became a Friday night discussion of, ‘Ah, it would be cool to see Batman fight Wolverine.’ Bang! Monday morning, they’re working on it. That’s an idealised world.”
His answer led Chappie director Neill Blomkamp to ask: “What about Christian Bale’s Batman versus Wolverine? I suppose without some of his technology, you would just cut him up [but] If he was in the Tumbler it would be a battle.”
Jackman replied: “We can try and stretch the movie out beyond a short, but I’m guessing it’d be a short.”
So, Jackman reckons Batman wouldn’t have a chance, huh? Hmmmmmmmmm… now THERE’S a debate to get your teeth – or claws – into.
He was also asked by MTV if he would like to appear in the Deadpool movie and he seems up for it: “They are definitely enemies in the comics. They always spark off well together, so I’d be open to that idea.”
Check out his full response where he talks about Deadpool and his friendship with Ryan Reynolds below:

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
