Surely not?

Speculation has mounted that Hugh Jackman, famous for his roles as Jean Valjean, PT Barnum and, well, Wolverine, might be turning up somewhere very unexpected some time soon. A Google search for "famous Hugh Jackman movies" for some reason throws back a result of Avengers: Endgame — the follow-up to 2018's much discussed Infinity War, which saw half of our beloved Marvel characters crumble into dust. Not much is known about the fourth Avengers film just yet — even though we finally have a trailer — but we know that it's set to be the final chapter in this phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Twists, shocks and high-profile deaths are expected, and a Wolverine-out-of-nowhere gambit is the exact kind of move that some fans will expect. Disney's recent acquisition of 21st Century Fox means that the once-off-limits X-Men are now very much on the table, but it would be a surprise if Marvel Studios had acted fast enough to include Wolverine (who's supposed to be dead) in the MCU by May. Of course, there are other possible explanations. A glitch, a mistake on Google's part, some strange side-effect of the Thanos finger-snap. Who knows? https://twitter.com/BillzMusicUK/status/1078702223864008705 Theories also abound that the movie is set to feature time travel, which definitely increases the possibilities of some unexpected characters popping up.
