After more than 15 years playing the beloved mutant Logan,Hugh Jackmanis prepping for his final performance as the character inWolverine 3, which is scheduled to start production in early 2016. 20th Century Fox has already set a March 3, 2017release datefor this superhero adventure, but there is very little we know about the story at this point. While promotingPan,Hugh Jackmanwas asked about his favorite scene from all of theX-Menmovies, and without hesitation, he had this to say to Digital Spy, which may surprise you.
“I still think, ultimately, my favorite one is the cameo inX-Men: First Class. To me, that just, in about 15 seconds, sums up the character.”
If you don’t recall the actor’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it scene inX-Men: First Class, Logan is approached by Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lensherr (Michael Fassbender) in a bar, while they are recruiting new mutants, where Logan tells them, “Go f–k yourselves.“Hugh Jackmanhas starred in seven movies as Logan/Wolverine, 2000’sX-Men, 2003’sX2: X-Men United, 2006’sX-Men: The Last Stand, 2009’sX-Men Origins: Wolverine, 2011’sX-Men: First Class, 2013’sThe Wolverineand last year’sX-Men: Days of Future Past. While it’s strange to think that the actor’s tiny cameo inX-Men: First Classis his favorite scene, he does have a point, in that it “sums up the character” in such a short amount of time.
Last month,Hugh Jackmaneven shared his pick for who he’d like to see replace him as Wolverine, stating that he thinksTom Hardywould “be great” asLogan. Just one day later, fan art already surfaced showing whatTom Hardymight look like with Wolverine’s iconic hairstyle, and a cigar in his mouth. It will surely be a few years until we find out who will replaceHugh Jackman, but the actor offered some words of wisdom to whoever takes his place.
“Start training six months out. I got the part literally as they were filming.Bryan Singersaid, ‘How long do you need to get into shape?’ ‘Three weeks?’ We had to hide a lot of stuff. If you look at the film carefully there’s quite a transformation in my body, during the film.”
SinceHugh Jackmanhas appeared in literally everyX-Menfilm to date, many are wondering whether or not he’ll pop up inX-Men: Apocalypse, after the actor and directorBryan Singerhad a cryptic exchange during their Hall H panel at Comic Con. Principal photography has already wrapped onX-Men: Apocalypse, but it’s possible they either already shot a secret cameo, or that they could be doing reshoots, whereHugh Jackmancould step in as Wolverine. Take a look at the actor’s video interview segment, and chime in with your thoughts below. We also have the scene in question.
