Imagine the kind of cinematic intensity when two of Hollywood’s most powerful and charismatic forces, Wolverine and Killmonger, collide, sharing the same frame. Adding fuel to this rising buzz, the OG Wolverine, Hugh Jackman, recently spotted at the 98th Academy Awards for Song Sung Blue, opened up about his thoughts on working with Michael B. Jordan, leaving fans wondering if this high-voltage collaboration could actually become a reality.

Here is everything you should know about what the OG Wolverine Hugh Jackman said about working with Michael B. Jordan.

The moment unfolded during a brief street-side interaction when a media person from TMZ caught up with Hugh Jackman and asked about Michael B. Jordan’s Best Actor win at the 98th Academy Awards for his dual role in Sinners, marking his first Oscar victory, a moment Jackman praised as “awesome” while clearly admiring the performance.

As the conversation continued, he was asked if he would like to work with Jordan, and with no hesitation, Jackman responded with a confident “of course,” a striking reaction that has since fuelled excitement around the possibility of the two sharing the screen. 

The connection is not entirely new, as Hugh Jackman and Michael B. Jordan were previously spotted together on The Graham Norton Show in 2023, where they shared an easy, friendly rapport while discussing everything from fitness routines to their on-screen transformations. Both also belong to the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe space, with Jordan known for his role as Killmonger in Black Panther and Jackman globally recognised as Wolverine, further adding to the excitement around what a potential collaboration between the two could look like.

While a future collaboration might be a possibility, one thing is certain: Jackman is not slowing down anytime soon, with multiple projects already lining up on his 2026 slate.

After years of slicing through supervillains with his adamantium claws, Hugh Jackman now has a packed 2026 ahead, balancing scale and range with projects like The Death of Robin Hood, set to release on June 19, where he steps into a darker, battle-worn version of the legendary outlaw, followed by Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie on November 13, an offbeat mystery that places him at the centre of an unusual m***** case.

Alongside this, Jackman is also making his return to his long-standing love for theatre, moving beyond the big screen as he joins the Audible Theater’s season at the Minetta Lane Theatre in New York. He will be seen in upcoming stage projects like S***** Misconduct of the Middle Classes and New Born, continuing to explore more intimate, character-driven storytelling on stage.

With so much already on his plate for 2026, fans have plenty to look forward to, yet the question remains whether a collaboration between Hugh Jackman and Michael B. Jordan could be next.
