Actor Hugh Jackman has appeared on screen at a Disney event to ask for a part as Wolverine in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday film.

The clip saw the Australian actor, who is currently not mentioned in the film’s cast, egged on by Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds – who is also yet to be confirmed in the film despite making an appearance during an event at San Diego Comic Con earlier this year.

Speaking at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, Jackman told Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige: “I just wanted to check in totally unprompted, just wondering if you might need some help rounding out the cast?

“I’d love to join, and I don’t know, I might be able to convince Ryan (Reynolds, who could be heard off screen) to appear in Avengers: Doomsday.”

His comments came as a new trailer for the film was released showing Captain America, played by Chris Evans, cradling a baby in his arms.

It also showed Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom beating away the hammer of Chris Hemsworth’s Thor, and shows Sir Ian McKellan as a long-haired version of Magneto.

The trailer opens with a voiceover which says: “Victor was always the smartest guy in every room, he used to be different, he used to be kind, he used to be caring, and then, everything he loved was taken from him.

“I knew he was lost, but I did not realise that he was broken.”

A fight scene between Doctor Doom and Thor is then shown, which ends with Downey Jr’s character saying “hell answers to me, for I am Doom”.

The upcoming film serves as a sequel to 2019’s Avengers: Endgame and is the 39th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The blockbuster features an ensemble cast as the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Wakandans and New Avengers converge from different universes to face Doctor Doom.

Marvel’s synopsis for Avengers: Doomsday reads: “Universes collide and the Multiverse Saga begins its final chapter in Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday.

“Beloved heroes from three distinct universes will be set on a deadly collision course and ultimately face an existential threat unlike anything they’ve ever encountered.

“This epic film will lay the foundation for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”

Avengers: Doomsday will be released in cinemas on December 18.
