Remember last spring when Marvel spent five hours announcing the Avengers: Doomsday cast through a slow procession of chairs? It took the internet by storm and started up all kinds of conversations, including some about familiar names oddly missing from the seemingly endless line. That includes Hugh Jackman, who has yet to confirm if he’s playing Wolverine again or not.
Though the longtime Marvel star’s future with the MCU is up in the air for now, the Golden Globe and Tony Award-winning actor has two confirmed 2026 movies that have my attention. One is an offbeat murder mystery where a flock of sheep solves a homicide, and the other is a dark take on a classic literary character. They’re vastly different from one another, but I have to see them.
