If one thing’s for sure, it’s that Hugh Jackman has had a legendary career as Wolverine. Starting in 2000’s X-Men, the actor gave his emotional farewell performance in the recent Logan.

With audiences responding so well to the film and character, it’s no surprise that fans want to know who’s next in line to portray the character. On the topic, Deadline recently spoke to producer Simon Kinberg, and here’s what he had to say.

We haven’t even thought of the next iteration of Wolverine. For all of us, we were keeping our fingers crossed that the audiences would respond to ‘Logan’ the way they have. I can’t visualize in my head another Wolverine, but — if that day ever comes — we would talk to Hugh [Jackman] about it.”

Should Jackman get a say in who plays the next Wolverine? Comment your thoughts below.

Plot synopsis: “In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan’s attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.”
