[서울=RNX뉴스] 박은경 기자 = Wolverine Reportedly Joining the Avengers in the Next MCU Phase

Ever since Disney’s purchase of 21st Century Fox, fans have wondered when the X-Men characters would appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

According to We Got This Covered, a source close to Marvel said Wolverine will make his appearance in the MCU alongside Thor, Scarlet Witch and more.

Their source also confirmed that this addition to the Avengers team would only happen after the X-Men are initially introduced into the MCU.

Wolverine plays a crucial role in many of the comic book story lines, so it is only fitting that he finally makes an appearance on the big screen.

It is not known whether or not Hugh Jackman will be reprising the role.

As previously stated by Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, it will be at least five years before any X-Men appear in the MCU. Kevin Feige, via We Got This Covered
