Whether it’s a Multiversal adventure starring Hugh Jackman and Mark Ruffalo or a fresh take in the post-’Avengers: Secret Wars’ era. Just the thought of Hulk and Wolverine trading blows on the big screen has fans buzzing with excitement. Moreover, Jackman, who is rumored set to reprise his role as Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3,’ has long championed the idea of a Wolverine-Hulk faceoff.
Back in 2014, he excitedly shared, “There’s no doubt he’d get in a fight with Hulk at some point. Those two bad, rage-filled characters squaring off would be quite fun.” His enthusiasm for the pairing has only grown, with Jackman cheekily insisting in 2020 that Wolverine would win such a fight.
The History Of Hulk vs. Wolverine In The Comics
The roots of the Hulk-Wolverine rivalry trace back to Wolverine’s very first appearance in ‘The Incredible Hulk #180’ in 1974. In that issue, Logan (who was an operative for the Canadian government’s Department) was sent to confront the Green Goliath. What followed was an iconic battle that introduced Wolverine to Marvel Comics readers.

Additionally, it established him as a ferocious, claw-wielding force of nature. Over the decades, Hulk and Wolverine have clashed numerous times in the comics, with each battle highlighting their stark contrasts. Hulk, despite being huge, meets his match in Wolverine, a smaller but equally deadly fighter.
So, the cinematic adaptation of this dynamic could deliver an action-packed spectacle while delving into the characters’ emotional cores. Whether it’s a feral Wolverine slashing through Hulk’s impenetrable skin or a raging Hulk landing earth-shattering blows, this film could redefine what fans expect from superhero battles.
