Explained why Wolverine won't be in the next X-Men film
The X-Men reboot has been anticipated since Fox was purchased by Disney in 2019, which means that the next mutant film will, for the first time, be produced by Marvel Studios.
And production is in full swing! Recently, Marvel finally announced the film's screenwriter: Michael Lesslie (The Hunger Games). Furthermore, filming is scheduled to begin at the end of 2025.
Recently, it was revealed that the team formation in the film will be the same as that of the animated film X-Men ’97. However, there will be one exception: Wolverine.
Previous rumors already pointed to Wolverine's absence from the film. But now journalist Daniel Richtman has finally explained why. According to the source, Marvel does not want to overshadow the team's first appearance by including Wolverine, because they want Hugh Jackman to continue playing the mutant.
Therefore, only in an eventual continuation of X-Men would Wolverine finally meet the new team of mutants. But in this first film, Marvel wants to establish the team without running the risk of Hugh Jackman stealing the spotlight.
