Recent videos released by Hugh Jackman have fans wondering if the Deadpool & Wolverine star is getting ready to step back into the suit for Avengers: Doomsday.
Why do fans think Hugh Jackman is returning to the MCU?
Recently, Jackman took to social media to share a video of himself lifting weights while being coached by trainer Beth Lewis. While the post was meant to show off the weight training and shout out his trainer, fans quickly began wondering what he was working out for.
Although many fans congratulated Jackman on staying fit and active, many also were curious about the serious weights Jackman could be seen exercising with. This led to speculation that perhaps Jackman was once again preparing to return to the role of Wolverine for the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.
