Hugh Jackman still wants Wolverine in The Avengers

I am pretty sure I talked about this before, but it has come up once again.

Hugh Jackman has previously expressed his interest in joining the expanded Marvel Cinematic Universe by bringing his X-Men character to The Avengers. If I recall correctly, he was bashing the studios for their rights protection and said they could easily work out a deal so the characters could cross studio lines.
Well, Jackman is at is again. In recent interviews for X-Men: Days of Future Past he expressed his interest and desire in Wolverine joining The Avengers once again. He stated:

"I would love to see him as part of The Avengers because there’s a great dysfunction among that team, and I think Wolverine would fit right into that. He’d like that.”

Another thing he hopes for? A battle between Wolverine and the Hulk.

“There’s no doubt he’d get in a fight with Hulk at some point. Those two bad, rage-filled characters are going to square off at some point. It would be quite fun. I don’t know how much fun to shoot it would be, because I’m sure I’d be on the worst end of it, but hey, he can heal.”

Last time this happened it seemed that Jackman's suggestions fell on deaf ears, but if he keeps badgering the studios you never know what will happen. Hell, he has enough money that maybe he will offer to pay some of the royalties if he wants it this bad. 
Personally, I would love to see a full Marvel crossover film that would include The Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four but I am doubting that will ever happen. They have a hard enough time agreeing on anything. We can't even get a Spider-Man cameo for The Avengers.

So what about you guys? Do you want Wolverine to appear in The Avengers?

Hugh Jackman wants to bring Wolverine to The Avengers and Spider-Man

As you may or may not know, the studios aren't able to freely use characters as they please because certain studios own the rights to specific characters. Despite the fact that in the comic books The Avengers collaborate and appear next to Spider-Man and the X-Men, including them in the same movie is... well, it's complicated.

Hugh Jackman, who is probably most famous for his role as Wolverine, has stated that he would love to appear as Wolverine in The Avengers and/or a Spider-Man film and basically said the studios should suck it up and split the cost. As it currently stands Fox owns X-Men and Fantastic Four, Sony owns Spider-Man, and Marvel (aka, Disney) owns Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, Hulk, etc.. When Collider asked what it would take to get all these heroes on the same film Jackman responded with:

“Mate, I ask the same question.  I literally asked the same question the other day to Tom from Marvel who works with all the other studios, he works with Sony and Fox, that’s his job to liaise.  I said, ‘Man, can this happen?’ and he goes ‘Look, it’s not gonna be easy because you’re working with different studios and they’re their properties.’  But I believe—maybe I’m optimistic, I understand at Marvel they’ve got The Avengers, they’ve got a lot of big things going on, but at some point I just find it almost impossible that there’s not a way to bring Iron Man, all the Avengers characters, Wolverine, the X-Men characters, Spider-Man, and somehow get them in together.

I don’t see the impediment!  I’m like, okay you’ve got three studios, just split it three ways in terms of the cost, and happy days it’s all coming together!  I would love to… I’m in for it, I’m totally up for it because I think that would be really exciting for fans across the board.”

I would love for this to happen but it isn't likely. The studios are greedy and they don't want to pay the money involved in bringing the heroes together. This shouldn't be the case, though. After seeing the villains announced for Guardians of the Galaxy and The Avengers 2 (specific villains that involve Fantastic Four and the X-Men), I think it could be possible for at least Fox and Marvel to partner up and share a few characters. Even if it isn't all of them. When you have Hugh Jackman on board it's something to at least be considered, I think.

You can see Jackman as Wolverine once again in The Wolverine which comes out on July 26th.
