Speaking with Geek.com earlier this week, Jackman had the opportunity to talk about the breaking news about Sony and Marvel teaming up to bring Spider-Man to the Avengers family. Obviously the biggest question to relate to Jackman has to be whether or not he feels Wolverine could be the next subject of another partnership.

"There's so many forces at play there, man, beyond what anyone would want," Jackman explained, according to IGN. The thing I've always loved about the comic-book world is how the fun thing was how a writer of a comic book could just pull all these characters together and what became a Friday-night discussion of 'it would be cool to see Batman fight Wolverine' and bang, Monday morning they're working on it, you know. But that's an idealized world."
