“I asked my friends and colleagues of stage and screen to lend support to this meaningful auction and the response has been extraordinary,” Baranski shared in a statement. “The Actors Fund has provided a much-needed lifeline to our industry, and their work is nothing short of miraculous.

We’re obviously most excited about Jackman’s Wolverine jacket. As for the iconic X-Men character, Marvel Studios president, Kevin Feige, recently shut down rumors that he was looking to cast a new Wolverine. We know that Feige had discussions with Patrick Stewart about reprising his role as Professor X from the X-Men films, but there’s been no official word on how the MCU plans to incorporate the character in the future. Many thought the mutants would come into play after Evan Peters’ Quicksilver showed up in WandaVision, but it ended up being a red herring.

The Actor’s Fund auction is set to take place on Wednesday, April 28 at 10 AM ET.
