Fox(NEW YORK) — Hugh Jackman may be hanging up his claws for good.
The Australian actor is set to star in a third Wolverine film that will be released in 2017. Jackman hinted over the weekend that he may retire from the mutant role after that.
Jackman, 46, posted to Instagram on Saturday a photo of his hands, one of which featured Wolverine’s claws. He wrote, “WOLVERINE …ONE LAST TIME. HJ.”
If he does walk away from the Wolverine character, it wouldn’t be a total surprise. He told SFX magazine in 2014 regarding the Wolverine series, “If I did another one I’m 99.9 percent sure it would be the last.”
Jackman previously starred in two stand-alone Wolverine films: 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine and 2013’s The Wolverine. He’s also played the character in several X-Men movies, including last year’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.
His next Wolverine film, which is currently untitled, will open on March 3, 2017.
