I get why he might hesitate to take another movie as Wolverine. You don’t want to keep pumping out mediocre echoes of the same movie until people are sick of it, and Logan was an excellent place to walk away from the character on a high note. I also think this is the perfect opportunity to play the character again, though. It’s been several years since we last saw Jackman as Wolverine, this is a movie pairing people have been begging for, it will likely feel unlike any other Wolverine appearance we’ve seen so far, and hopefully it’ll just be a standalone performance, and not some crazy attempt to start a new Jackman Wolverine series of movies.

Micheal Keaton is doing a Beetlejuice sequel. That's after doing 'Birdman' about how terrible it is to be typecast as a character for the rest of your career.

He came back as Batman in the Flash, which is a more direct comparison.

What annoyed me the most about that movie was that in the original comic version, the Batman of the new reality was Bruce Wayne's father. Bruce was the one killed in the alley; his Mom lost her mind and became the Joker. Dr. Thomas Wayne owned Gotham's biggest casino and employed the Penguin as his 'Alfred.' He used a dangerous and addictive formula to make him stronger. That was what I was hoping to see.

Wasn't he typecast as a family comedy guy until he did Beetlejuice with Burton, who got him a darker more gritty role as Batman?

Family comedy?

Whose family? The Coreleones? The Montanas?

Coming soon to Netflix: Deadpool and the Wolverine, the newest Marvel series!

After they wrested the Defenders series from Netflix, I doubt Disney would throw them a bone that big.
