Hugh Jackman Regretted One Thing About His Performance As Wolverine In Logan
Hugh Jackman had expressed regret over his performance in the critically acclaimed film Logan. Having starred in nine movies over 17 years, Jackman bid farewell to the character in the 2017 movie.
In an interview, he candidly admitted that he had one regret when it came to his portrayal of the X-Men member. Reflecting on his journey, he said,
“I wish I’d started playing him like that 17 years ago. So there’s some sense of missed opportunity, but when I saw Logan, I sat there and I did have tears in my eyes.”
Alongside this regret, The Son star also shared another unfulfilled desire regarding a specific storyline he wished had been part of his Wolverine career.
He revealed his fondness for the idea from the comics where, on Logan’s birthday, his brother would visit and engage in a brutal fight. He explained,
“The other idea that I always loved was the idea in the comics that every year on Logan’s birthday, his brother comes and beats the crap out of him.”
Despite Jackman’s enthusiasm, the storyline never made it to the films. Following his tenure as Wolverine, the artist ventured into diverse projects. Interestingly, Jackman also revealed surprising insights about his Yellow Spandex Wolverine Costume in the X-Men film franchise.
Hugh Jackman Revealed He Didn’t Want To Play Wolverine While Dressed In His Yellow Spandex Attire
The Real Steel actor known for his iconic portrayal of Wolverine, recently surprised fans with a revelation about his experience playing the beloved Marvel character.
Throughout his remarkable journey, spanning nine movies in the X-Men series, Jackman has left an indelible mark on audiences worldwide.
However, amid the thrill of representing the mutant superhero, there was one aspect that brought him relief the absence of the yellow and green spandex costume.
In an interview, Jackman humorously expressed his aversion to the yellow tights, playfully stating,
“I think it’s safe to say that I and yellow tights don’t get on. There were a couple of things I couldn’t work out how to do. Fans always say, When are we gonna see you in the blue and yellow spandex? We’ve gotta see that shot.”
Fans of the Marvel comics may recall Wolverine’s signature attire, but the film adaptation took a different approach, opting for a more powerful and shirtless portrayal.
Now, he’s set to reprise his role in Deadpool 3 as both he and Ryan Reynolds become a part of the MCU. The movie will hit the theatres on 3 May 2024.
