Wolverine to fight Thanos in Avengers Endgame

Hugh Jackman is set to star in Avengers: Endgame as his X-Men character Wolverine, according to online rumours.

Marvel fans are hoping 2017's Logan wasn't the last time the Aussie actor played the superhero after all - and his fierce fighting ability would be put to good use against the all-powerful villain, Thanos.

Avengers: Endgame is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, produced by Marvel Studios and set for distribution by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. It is set to be the direct sequel to 2018's Avengers: Infinity War, a sequel to 2012's Marvel's The Avengers and 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron, and the 22nd film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo with a screenplay by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely and features an ensemble cast of actors from previous MCU films.

The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 2. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015, and by May, Markus and McFeely signed on to script the film. In July 2016, Marvel removed the title, referring to it simply as Untitled Avengers film. Filming began in August 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, shooting back-to-back with Avengers: Infinity War, and ended in January 2018. Additional filming took place in the Downtown and Metro Atlanta areas and New York. The title was revealed in December 2018.

The film is scheduled for release in the United States on April 26, 2019, in IMAX and 3D.
