In an interview with an entertainment portal, he talked about the character and what he would have liked him to do. He said that Wolverine was always one of his favourite characters. 

Continuing on the topic, Joe Russo added that Incredible Hulk #181 was the first comic book that he remembered collecting. The book also had the first appearance of Wolverine in it.

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.
