The actor also teased about his potential appearance in the film, reported Deadline.

Following his return to the role (aka Logan) in last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, the Oscar nominee recently assured he "actually" has no news about whether he'll clench his claws once again for Avengers: Doomsday.

"I really can't say much, except when you say 'appear,' more like dominate and destroy every other character--I'm kidding. 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," said Hugh Jackman as quoted by Deadline.

Jackman made his debut as Wolverine in 2000s X-Men. He reprised the role in X2 (2003),' X-Men: The Last Stand' (2006), 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' (2009), 'The Wolverine' (2013), 'Logan' (2017) and 'Deadpool & Wolverine' (2024).

According to Deadline, actress Halle Berry has previously shut down any hope of her inclusion as 'Storm' in 'Doomsday'.

Meanwhile, Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) Rebecca Romijn (Mystique) and James Marsden (Cyclops) are set to return in the film.

Also joining the cast of Avengers: Doomsday are Robert Downey Jr. (Doctor Doom), Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Vanessa Kirby (Susan Storm), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Florence Pugh (Yelena), Tenoch Huerta (Namor), Simu Liu (Shang-Chi), Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes), Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Thing), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Lewis Pullman (Sentry), Danny Ramirez (Falcon), Joseph Quinn (Johnny Storm), David Harbour (Red Guardian), Winston Duke (M'Baku), Hannah John-Kamen (Ghost), Tom Hiddleston (Loki) and Channing Tatum (Gambit), reported Deadline.

The release date of 'Doomsday' has now been shifted. It is now set to debut on Dec. 18, 2026, moving about seven months off of its originally slated date of May 1, 2026.

As a die-hard Marvel fan from Mumbai, I can't wait to see Wolverine in the MCU! But I hope they don't overuse his character like they did with some others. Quality over quantity, yaar! 🤞

The cast list is looking too crowded... Feels like they're trying to fit everyone in one film. Remember what happened with Justice League? Hope Marvel learns from DC's mistakes.

December 2026 is so far away! 😭 But if it means better VFX and proper character arcs, I'm willing to wait. Just hope they don't rush things like in Quantumania.

Excited to see Indian representation with Simu Liu as Shang-Chi! Though I wish we had more South Asian superheroes in major roles. Maybe one day we'll see a proper Indian Avenger? 🇮🇳

Hugh Jackman IS Wolverine. No one else can play that role. His teasing is making me nervous though - hope it's not just a cameo. We need proper Wolverine action against Thanos-level threats!

The delay is actually good news. Marvel needs time to properly plan this massive crossover. After some disappointing Phase 4 films, they can't afford another rushed project. Fingers crossed!
