Wolverine back? Hugh Jackman's stunt double seen on set; Avengers: Doomsday rumors grow
Hugh Jackman
Speculation regarding Hugh Jackman's comeback as Wolverine in 'Avengers: Doomsday' has hit new levels following a recent photo post by his veteran stunt double, Daniel Stevens.
According to a report in Comicbookmovie, Stevens posted on social media that he is working at London's Pinewood Studios, which is the verified location of filming for the next Marvel blockbuster. The news has renewed speculations regarding Jackman's future within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Earlier this week, Jackman also shared a video on Instagram that fans suspect could be him preparing for a character, again sparking rumors about his return as the legendary mutant.
Although the video did not explicitly state anything, the timing of the upload, together with Stevens' check-in location, has piqued the interest of fans and insiders.
Familiar faces and fan favorites join epic ensemble
Daniel Stevens, a stunt veteran, has been directly linked with Jackman's interpretation of Logan in numerous films. Still, he has doubled for other top heroes such as Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man, and Chris Hemsworth's Thor.

All three actors are already set to show up in 'Avengers: Doomsday,' leaving it open whether Stevens is doubling for any of them rather than Jackman.
Nevertheless, the timing has sparked rumors that Jackman may be getting back into the costume after last year's successful Deadpool & Wolverine cameo. During a recent interview, Jackman was questioned about his future and responded cryptically, "I really can't say much, except when you say 'appear,' it's more like dominate and destroy every other character.
I'm kidding." He continued, "I really have nothing to add, and if I did, I would find a really cool way to not say it, but I actually have nothing to add.
"
'Avengers: Doomsday' is being directed by Joe and Anthony Russo and written by Stephen McFeely, who had worked with the duo before on 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' and 'Avengers: Endgame.' The movie stars a diverse lineup of returning and new actors, including Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Tom Hiddleston, Paul Rudd, Letitia Wright, Sebastian Stan, and Robert Downey Jr.
The film will also be the Avengers franchise debut of Wyatt Russell, Simu Liu, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Hannah John-Kamen. Cast members of the 'X-Men' and Fantastic Four franchises have been confirmed as well, including Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Rebecca Romijn, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, and Channing Tatum, who appears in Deadpool & Wolverine.
'Avengers: Doomsday' will release in theaters on December 18, 2026, with 'Avengers: Secret Wars' on December 17, 2027.

Exclusive - Harleen Kaur Rekhi on her deep bond with her Dad: Every day is Father's Day for me
Actress Harleen Kaur Rekhi, known for her powerful performances in Shrimad Ramayan, and her impressive work in theatre as Sita in Hamare Ram opened up about the special bond she shares with her father in a heartfelt reflection for Father's Day. 'I honestly believe there is not only one day to celebrate your father or your mother,' says Harleen. 'Every day is Father's Day, every day is Mother's Day. But yes, a day that is specified obviously feels a little special.' Speaking fondly, she described her father as a man who may not always show his emotions, but loves unconditionally. 'He has tears in his eyes but doesn't show them to you. He has feelings but sometimes is less expressive because of the masculinity we associate with fathers. But he's also sensitive, chubby, bubbly, and very particular—yet so friendly. We both are number nines, so we gel pretty well.' Harleen also shared how her father continues to be her pillar of strength, emotionally and spiritually. 'He's a proud father and whatever I'm doing today, he's happy and proud of it. He always goes to Gurdwaras and mandirs to do Ardas for me—whether it's a play, a shoot, a new project, or even a voiceover. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo That's something really sweet of him, especially at his age.' She credits her values—groundedness, humility, and politeness—to both her father and mother, calling them her guiding force. 'He comes from the same school of thought as my mother. I want to carry that legacy too.' When asked about the fun side of their relationship, Harleen smiles, recalling family trips. 'He's very chirpy, loves to explore, and is quite adventurous. He's a total foodie and absolutely adores getting his photos clicked. He literally turns into a baby when we travel—and that's the beauty of it.' But above all, Harleen says the biggest lesson from her father is how he communicates. 'He knows how to balance things, how to keep people happy, how to convince with wisdom and purity. Whatever I'm doing today—especially based on my communication skills—the credit goes to him.' 'Truly, he's my biggest blessing,' she says with pride and love.
