Hugh Jackman on why he nearly quit Wolverine after X-Men: Origins

Possibly one of the best ever in the superhero genre.

And now Hugh Jackman, 48, has revealed just why his latest blockbuster film Logan will be his final outing in the Wolverine franchise. (I’m not crying, you’re crying.) At the end of Logan, not only did Wolverine seem very dead, his story felt complete too. We know Wolverine is dead because Jackman has proclaimed Logan to be his last time wearing the claws.

Hugh Jackman is glad he’s no longer dieting for his “Wolverine” roles. “I think… I finally understand you”. After grossing $33 million on Friday (including $9.5 million in Thursday previews), the action movie co-starring Patrick Stewart, Stephen Merchant, Dafne Keen and Boyd Holbrook, brought in an estimated $85.3 million over the weekend.

Sporting an unkempt gray beard, he drinks his days away on the Mexican border, picking up black market drugs to treat the dying Professor X, played for a seventh – and also final – time by acclaimed British thespian Patrick Stewart. “Thanks to the law in California now, it’s just a spray that I put on”. We were trying to make a movie that begun and ended on its own terms. I mentioned the freedom that the R rating provided, and they took full advantage.

Warner Bros.’ “The Lego Batman Movie” and Lionsgate’s “John Wick: Chapter 2” rounded out the top five, earning $11.6 million and $4.7 million, respectively. You didn’t tell me, so we kept on running away from it. Sure, there are references to the other X-Men movies and characters, but it doesn’t really have to adhere to any specific rules or continuity because of how it breaks the fourth wall and serves as comic book satire. Xavier’s powers have become unpredictable and unstable and the film shows us how unsafe Charles can be in this universe.

“Every frame of this film I put everything into, and I owe it to the fans, I’m so grateful to the fans”. For example, people were surprised both The Force Awakens and Rogue One didn’t have post-credit scenes. even though Disney hasn’t planned to have them for any of the films in the franchise.
