Most cameos simply try to wring out a laugh...
And established Hugh Jackman as the only Wolverine ever!

With Len Wein, John Romita created the character of Wolverine. He was supposed to have designed the costume and clawed mutant look of Wolverine.

Ironic that Wolverine is celebrating his first movie today...
and at the same time, he is stopping filming of the latest Wolverine movie as a SAG-SFTRA member.

If there is anyone with whom the success of the XMen franchise can be attributed but who remains behind the scenes -- it must be Lauren Shuler Donner, talent scout of Hugh Jackman...and Kevin Feige!
Here's an article from Vanity Fair on her professional background from 2017 ( the time when LOGAN had been released) --

I could not understand or appreciate the current negativity on social media re the casting of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine and how Wolverine/Jackman became the pointman in the Fox franchise!
Many want other characters to have been the object of focus in the many XMen movies that FOX generated in its film library.
No problem with that... but sounding as if Hugh Jackman and his Wolverine character are to blame -- does not seem fair!

This is what DISNEY is planning to do with the reboot of the XMen movies --
Not favorable reactions from the replies!
My response on "X", where the same news was the subject of the post --
Even with Fox, the attempt to reboot - with Dark Phoenix & Apocalypse & The New Mutants- were both not generally accepted.
