No. He would not.
Speaking with Collider, Jackman said that while the prospect of Wolverine in the MCU was tempting to him in the past, his days of weird pointy haircuts and simmering mutant rage are at an end:
While it’s potentially exciting to imagine Jackman’s Wolverine showing up in an upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film, it’s also worth acknowledging that very few actors have played one specific part for nearly 20 years. Jackman has that distinction, and it’s perfectly acceptable to hand the role over to a new actor. Plus, as mentioned above, Logan was as perfect an ending for Jackman’s run as the character as one could hope for. It was an emotional, impactful conclusion, and to have Jackman return to pal around with Iron Man for a few scenes would tarnish that ever so slightly. Let’s let Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine rest in peace.
“It’s interesting because for the whole 17 years I kept thinking that would be so great, like I would love to see, particularly, Iron Man and the Hulk and Wolverine together. And every time I saw an ‘Avengers’ movie I could just see Wolverine in the middle of all of them like punching them all on the head. But it was like, ‘Oh well, that’s not gonna happen,’ and it was interesting just when I first saw that headline — it was just the possibility of it and who knows what’s gonna happen, obviously — I was like, ‘Hang on!’ But I think, unfortunately, the ship has sailed for me, but for someone else I would like to see Wolverine in there.”
