Take a look below.
Jackman famously played Wolverine in the X-Men movies. Marsden played the X-Men’s leader and Wolverine’s rival, Cyclops. Marsden co-starred in X-Men (2000), X2: X-Men United (2003), and X-Men: The Last Stand (2006). His presence in the X-Men movies was minimal after that. This was due to an often-criticized off-screen death for Cyclops in The Last Stand. He did return for one final scene in the rewritten future of X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014).
Jackman played Wolverine in nine X-Men movies. He acted opposite Marsden in the original X-Men Trilogy. He starred in the first X-Men solo movie, X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009). He made a cameo appearance in X-Men: First Class (2011) and starred in a second solo film, The Wolverine (2013). He returned to lead X-Men: Days of Future Past and had a small role in X-Men: Apocalypse (2016).
Jackman reprised the role one last time in 2017’s Logan. Avengers star Sebastian Stan hinted that Jackman may consider a comeback in the MCU.
“I asked him because I kept thinking he said whether or not that was, Logan, was supposed to be the last Wolverine thing or whatever and he said to me, well I think he publicly said out there, which was like he’s been thinking about it and it’s been on his mind,” Stan said. “So, I don’t, he may be.”
