Hugh Jackman Talks About Next Wolverine

Australian actor Hugh Jackman who first took up the role of Wolverine in the 2000 film X-Men has been embedded in the minds of the audience as the character. He has played the clawed mutant in seven movies with the latest being X-Men: Days of Future Past. Hugh earlier stated that he will play the character one last time and said that Tom Hardy will be the perfect successor.

Hugh stated, “I think Tom Hardy would be a great Wolverine. He is younger than me for sure... However, I haven’t really given it a lot of thought I’m always like, ‘I don’t wanna make it too easy on the studio to replace me,’ you know?” The 46-year-old added, “I’ve still got one more (film) to do. I’m sure they’re already talking about it, and there’s some actor (they’ve told) ‘shh, keep it quiet but we want you next”.

Also known for his roles in The Prestige, Prisoners and Les Misérables, Hugh will be seen in the next instalment in the X-Men franchise, X-Men: Apocalypse. His last role as the character will be in the next Wolverine sequel. It is planned for release on March 3, 2017.
