For those who are wondering, the team-up between Spider-Man and Wolverine is reported not to be between the MCU versions of the characters but rather the pre-MCU versions. Specifically, between Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine.
According to industry insider @MyTimeToShineH, Maguire’s Spidey and Jackman’s Wolverine will join forces in 2026’s Avengers: Secret Wars. The insider has often been proven credible as they nailed past scoops with films such as Spider-Man: No Way Home. Despite this, it must be noted that this information has not been verified by official sources and should be taken with a grain of salt.
Interestingly, Hugh Jackman was supposed to make a cameo in Tobey Maguire’s first Spider-Man film, directed by Sam Raimi, but the plan fell through when the production team realized they did not have Wolverine’s costume.
Jackman, in a 2013 interview with Huffington Post, confirmed the same when the interviewer asked him about his desire to act opposite Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man:
“In the first “Spider-Man” — Kevin Feige reminded me of this — we really tried to get me to come on and do something, whether it was a gag or just to walk through the shot or something. The problem was, we couldn’t find the suit. The suit was stuck in some thing. And so when they were in New York when I was there, we couldn’t get it together.”
The actor continued:
“So, you know, I actually asked some high level people about it. Because the optimist in me goes, “Why not? Why can’t we do it? You know, a split cast or whatever?” And someone reminded that the amount of money Fox paid compared to the amount of money Disney paid is very different [laughs]. So how you split that pie up? God knows.”
He finished by saying:
“But in the comic books, what’s great about it is they’re just mashing together all the time — and it’s awesome. And people are like, “Yeah, well, let’s get this one with that!” And, you know, I still think, one day, there may be an ability to do it.”
