Russo complimented Hugh Jackman on acting out the characters over the years and doing an "incredible job" with it. He also suggested that the makers of X-Men should take a break before asking someone else to come on board to play the character.

Anthony Russo had also revealed in an interview that he would have loved for Wolverine to be a part of Avengers: Infinity War.

In fact, some time ago, Hugh Jackman who played Wolverine in all the X-Men instalments claimed that if the timeline had worked out, he would have loved to join MCU. However, it seems a new character will have to play the hero.
Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel studios has said in a statement that although they can now use mutants due to the new merger, there is no rush to bring them onboard MCU. It seems the mutant heroes will not be introduced until phase five of MCU which, at this point, is a long way off.
