Actor Hugh Jackman has had an outstanding career, spanning acclaimed projects on both the stage and screen. Many of the best Jackman movies have shown off his ripped physique, particularly his appearances in the X-Men films. He regularly shows off his workouts on social media, and the latest is another impressive display of his physical fitness... even if it's unclear when he'll return as Wolverine in upcoming Marvel movies.

Jackman often posts workout videos, and his hard work was on full display during a shirtless scene in Deadpool & Wolverine (which is streaming with a Disney+ subscription). He's keeping super fit, and the latest clip shows him doing some impressive work on a pull-up bar. As you can see in this recent Instagram post:

Honestly, I could never. I work out, but Hugh Jackman's on another level. He stays in superhero shape, even after Deadpool & Wolverine hit theaters. Fans who have spent years watching the Marvel movies in order are hoping this is an indication he'll appear in either Avengers: Doomsday and/or Secret Wars, but only time will tell if the Greatest Showman actor actually pops up as his signature character. Regardless, it's clear that Jackman isn't letting himself go anytime soon.

Disney+: from $11.99 a month w/ ad-supported plan
Disney+ is the home for the MCU, and X-Men franchises. Plans start at $11.99 a month for its new ad-supported plan. Go ad-free and pay $18.99 a month or save 16% and pre-pay $189.99 for a year.

Upon its release, Deadpool & Wolverine broke records at the box office. This was particularly significant following recent box office bombs like The Marvels. Given the movie's success, it seems inevitable that both Jackman and Reynolds would be back for more projects in the MCU. But the studio hasn't revealed when this might happen just yet, with the Song Sung Blue actor keeping busy with other projects and his residency at Radio City Music Hall.

While there are plenty of fans hoping that Jackman's workout videos mean he's going to be in the next Avengers movies, there hasn't been any actual indication that this is happening. He was noticeably missing from the Doomsday cast announcement, which revealed the various superhero teams that will be factoring into its multiversal story. But the discourse about this return is likely going to continue as Jackman continues to post workout videos.

The next Marvel movie hitting theaters is Spider-Man: Brand New Day on July 31st as part of the 2026 movie release list. While we wait, Jackman's tenure as Wolverine can be streamed in its entirety over on Disney+.
