Hugh Jackman is among those actors whose name became synonymous with the roles they played the best. For many fans of Wolverine, the sentiment is that it is either Hugh Jackman or nobody who will do the superhero character a fair justice.

Hugh Jackman has played the character of clawed mutant from Marvel Comics, for over a decade now. For many, it is his face they imagine and recalls when someone even mentions the word 'wolverine'. But now that an extension plan of another 10 years has started to buzz on the internet, fans are finding it hard to keep a serious face.

They are both thrilled and rib-tickled with humor. Some fans are totally up for it, while some have differing opinions. Hugh Jackman has previously played central roles in X-Men (2000) and Logan (2017), but when it comes to Wolverine, Jackman's version is considered a golden gem.

Jackman fans are having a field day at work with all those humor-filled posts shared on X and comments posted in an effort to poke fun at the situation. Some die-hard Wolverine fans are also excited at the rumored opportunity of being able to see Jackman plunge into mutant action with the claws again. Fans will surely be screaming "Age is just a number" when that happens!

A jokester piped up,

"TILLLLL HEEEEESSS 90!!!"

This netizen wrote,

"That’s crazy, instead of casting a new younger actor. Nostalgia is a heck of a drug"

A netizen humorously chimed-in,

"Enjoy it while it lasts....10 years from now, only worst case scenarios await. - We get a 'Logan' remix - Wolvie gets the Spidey or Captain America retirement package.."

A humorous observation was made,

"He was put on earth to play wolverine"

A funny X user wrote,

"They really got him going until he's 90"

Another user humorously remarked,

"Another 10 years?! Is he going to turn into Professor X?"

An X user commented,

"That’s 40 more in Wolverine year"

Another netizen took a jab,

"Deadpool weren't kidding about the 90 think"

Remember how you sometimes think of a pending task in your mind and you instantly recall some names from your friends and family. This thought basically reinforces the role of actors in a highly action-packed movie like Spiderman or that of Wolverine. After a point, their name builds a certain kind of legacy.

There was a time when Peter Parker's name was synonymous with that of Tobey Maguire, but later we had many variations of this superhero character. Starting from Tom Holland to Andrew Garfield, we have seen actors playing these action-packed roles.

But as the buzz grows hotter with new additions, make sure to save the funny jokes to share at the dinner table.
