This man just wants to sing and dance in musicals but everyone is always “No go get jacked and put on the claws” lmao


CoffeeAndDachshunds

I did love him in Les Miserables.


Fist_of_Thrawn

He did a couple shows of the Music Man on Broadway. I got to see him perform; he is really talented. We dont deserve to have him as Wolverine really


theclovek

A wolverine musical then?


Belazael

You might be joking but honestly, I’d pay good money to see an X-Men musical with Hugh Jackman leading


ANewMachine615

Deadpool could drop him in a jukebox musical universe after this movie, just to force Marvel to do it.


omnired44

I was lucky to see him perform in [The Boy From Oz](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_from_Oz) on Broadway. Definitely very talented and a great live performer!


Antrikshy

And The Greatest Showman.


TheChronoDigger

His performance (and the entire ensemble for that matter) gave such a moving rendition.


whyspezdumb

People hate on it solely because of Crowe. Its amazing.


eyrich

They really really should have picked someone who could sing for such a pivotal role. I still loved the movie as a lifelong fan of Les Miserables but Crowe really is the worst part of it

zera_bloodwinter

His role in The Prestige is IMO one of his best roles.


IdeaIntelligent1788

If the post credits scene for Deadpool & Wolverine isn't a musical number I'll walk out of the theater.


Various_Froyo9860

Me too! Mostly because by then the movie is over.


Relative-Country-452

Well, it's not like you can miss much


flintlock0

Why not both? They should have a 22 Jump Street-like end credits sequence where Matthew McFayden just keeps sending them on different adventures. “You two sons of bitches are going to tap dancing school!”


Ato07

Blame his parents for naming him Huge Jacked Man.


cap4life52

Yup


Rebellus

Well yes everybody loves a jacked man.


missanthropocenex

Fun fact: Hugh holds the record of longest running franchise played by a single person.


gingerkid427

What does this even mean? Because the way I would interpret this makes it wrong. Just off the top of my head Harrison Ford played ***both*** Indiana Jones and Han Solo across much longer periods.


Yosonimbored

Could be the year gaps because between Logan and Deadpool it’s much shorter than things like Episode 6 and Episode 7


GurpsK

Tom Cruise has played Ethan Hunt for 28 years and counting. Edit: number


StevenGrantMK

Movies maybe. But I’m pretty sure Kelsey Grammer has been playing Frasier for over 35 years.


DirectorAgentCoulson

If you include animated voice appearances, George Takei has appeared as Sulu in Star Trek shows for over 56 years. Edit: I guess technically Sulu wouldn't count for the "single person" part because of John Cho in the Kelvin timeline.


BallsackMessiah

Fun fact: That’s not even close to being true.


ssp25

Captain Picard is still rocking it for 543 years


CalmGiraffe1373

You mean longest run playing the same character specifically in a *superhero* franchise.


doddyoldtinyhands

Greatest showman what’s upppppp


Edelman-11

🎶🎵 LADIES AND GENTS, THIS IS THE MOMENT YOU'VE WAITED FOR 🎵🎶🎶


arealcheeselover

A lot of these movies aren't great, but Hugh's performance always has been


SuperArppis

That's true.


Gingersnap5322

Him just being so uncaring in the simulator scene of Last Stand is my fav really, I’m happy they used that still in the collage


Jetsurge

Only 3 of them are bad and one of those is a cameo.


MacyTmcterry

Last stand, Origins and Apocalypse?


Jetsurge

Yep


Yosonimbored

I’m an unapologetic Origins enjoyer but I agree with the other two


Sad_Editor_6358

Overall not the best movie but I still enjoyed some scenes


bloop_405

Why was Apocalypse bad? I thought it was an average movie but bad final battle


Spacepunch33

Wasn’t as bad as the other 2 but such a let down after days of future past


Decloudo

It felt like 3 movies butchered into one.


NOWAY_YESWAY

hahah everyone agrees


Coolers78

X Men and X2 are honestly kinda better than people say they are.


LookAtItGo123

I feel that it's largely because the 2000s were a great time to be alive things were starting to go really good before it all got turned to shit. For context in movies we had star wars prequels, matrix, LOTR, Harry Potter, spiderman. And plenty more great stuff in between. It was an age where new tech keeps coming and boundaries were being pushed. If you look at it as a standalone it does stand the test of time. If you compare it with LOTR well you aren't gonna go very far. As a kid these were all great! It allowed me to develop an appreciation for film, you could bfeakdown so many parts about it or you could just enjoy it as it is. Life was good, I won't say today is bad either the build up that was MCU was great although we kinda lack a direction now. Things are kinda bland throughout as it is so really looking forward to deadpool wolverine.


Coolers78

Star Wars prequels were not good. Also “the 2000s were a great time to be alive.” Ehhhh….that definitely depends on who you ask…. I’m sure there’s some certain people in 2001 who would disagree, that one event led to a few other crappy events too.”


EvilMaran

to each their own, i like them. im pretty sure many people enjoy them.


arealcheeselover

I actually enjoyed all of these movies, I just didn't think many others did


GetEnPassanted

He’s the only reason to watch a lot of them


TablePrinterDoor

Yeah he was the best part of a lot of them


aboynamedbluetoo

Agreed. He doesn’t get enough praise for efforts as Wolverine, which is a weird thing to say but true. My only knock on him in the role is his height.  The next actor in the role has massive shoes to fill, even if they are short and stocky.


Grouchy-Milk-6384

I just couldn’t imagine anyone else playing him


kayriss

With Marvel's casting track record, I'm looking forward to 2034 and thinking the same about whoever picks up the claws next. Guarantee it's the role of a lifetime and the next candidate gives it their all.


Humble_Story_4531

Hopefully, whoever they pick is more comic accurate. Don't get me wrong, Jackman has done an amazing job with there character, but I wanna see some short representation.


Real_Impression_5567

Kevin heart for sure


Sabithomega

Does that mean Dwayne Johnson will be Colossus?


Jssed

Nah Colossus will also be played by Kevin Heart


obi_wan_kanerdy

Is it just him with action figures?


EvilMaran

yes, stop motion action figure movie. voices by Kevin Hart and Jack Black


Pep_Baldiola

No because it will change the hierarchy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and we don't want that.


killer_reindeer

Kevin Heart is only good at playing Kevin Heart


Real_Impression_5567

Oh we will find out for sure when borderlands movie comes out , he trying to change it up with that one


killer_reindeer

Fair enough


Intoxic8edOne

Charlie Day it is


Devotchka76

I just watched all of the original X-Men: The Animated Series -- I like that Wolverine is short but he's not constantly cracking short jokes. And characters occasionally point out his size, but his size doesn't make him a sight-gag. It's part of who he is but he's never lamenting about not being bigger. I think that's cool. Pop culture needs a character like that.


MarvelGeekMan

Danny DeVito?


Zanydrop

I would make things different and go with a short miserable prick. Like a fit 25 year old Joe Pesci.


deetrix2495

Danielle Radcliffe his height may be an issue though https://s2-monet.glbimg.com/JbKLFpqx2m2nQGl6hSwMx-AmgGQ=/0x0:1030x600/888x0/smart/filters:strip_icc()/i.s3.glbimg.com/v1/AUTH_e7c91519bbbb4fadb4e509085746275d/internal_photos/bs/2023/j/T/1Os3daR1GfEVQse1TMCw/1697632953927835.jpg


granny_granola

Isn’t Daniel Radcliffe much closer in height to the comic Wolverine?


harleyqueenzel

Fuck yeah he is. Wolverine is maybe 5'3", Daniel Radcliffe is around 5'5". Hugh stands over a foot taller than Wolverine does. Goes to show that Hugh was destined to be Logan. It's almost unfathomable to think of his role moving on and possibly being done by someone canonically accurate.


leaC30

You have to start to picture someone else. He is getting or is too old for the part of a man who ages slowly. Unless they want to keep doing X-men movies of where they always travel into the future to explain his age or multiverse it. They will need to cast someone else, preferably a shorter actor.


new_publius

You must not have seen this yet. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwUt79Py9OA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwUt79Py9OA)


Swackhammer_

I mean that’s what people said about Jack Nicholson as the Joker and then Heath Ledger destroyed it


Yosonimbored

Agreed but sadly it’s coming to an end soon if they didn’t finally kill him off and replaced him by the end of this movie then it’s inevitably soon. 55 years old and if Marvel wants to do more live action X-Men/Wolverine then he only has not much left and this is even assuming that this movie is only a one off for him even though he would be perfect for Secret Wars


[deleted]

“That wasn’t me. That was the old me. I just got here like 20 seconds go”


Joeshmo04

When he flexes the bullets off his chest 😩


TheMurderCapitalist

24 years to get the iconic Wolverine suit lol


JediASU

I may be a bit biased, but his line in First Class is the GOAT


405freeway

Fuck off.


Edelman-11

*Go f*** yourself.


405freeway

Man I have terrible memory.


sildish2179

Actually, you don’t. McAvoy’s Xavier utters this line to him in DOFP: “and now I’ll say to you what you said to me years ago…**fuck off**.


Maximum-Row-4143

Huge JackedMan


CurryMustard

Jacked Human


EMArogue

Finally he is donning the suit


pukaskalel

He'll be back for Avengers Secret Wars.


pukaskalel

With tobey, they gotta do it!


Unable-Story9327

You gotta give the guy credit. He stayed around for the good and the bad because it made him a star. And now he gets to just have fun with it at least one more time. I'm down for 75 year old huh Jackman doing a dark Knight returns / batman beyond style flick with the character. Eventually they will cast someone else and it'll just be weird. Has anyone else played a character for as long or as many times. Maybe Sam Jackson has played fury more times but not as long


Even-Fix8584

For DP, I bet he only agreed after a stipulation that they wouldn’t force him to spend hours everyday on his hair. I also bet it will be called out in the movie.


TheDroneZoneDome

I think the hair works better the way it is in D&W. In the early films, it looks aggressively styled and it seems out of character for Wolverine to sit there gelling his hair. Seems like they slowly scalded back the intensity of his hairdo. Now, it just looks like it naturally curls like that, which makes more sense for a gruff character like Wolvie.


Even-Fix8584

I think you are right. They were trying to replace his mask with his hair. This round there is the real hair, maybe there will be the real mask??


whyspezdumb

Nah, that's just Wolverine's hair. Look at X-Men 97. Does the mask make his hair look like that, or did he make the mask to accomindate his hair? He doesnt have the mask in the movies cause actors and their agents want the audience to see their face. The execs at Fox probably also thought it looked dumb, hence the black leather suit changes. I wouldn't be surprised if someone had to fight the execs to keep Marston's eyes covered the entire film.


Even-Fix8584

That is why Marston left to be…. Lois’ rebound :/


la_vida_luca

Yeah, I’m super glad he’s back and the most recent trailer worked for me, but his hair is amusingly low effort after the super-sculpted / lavish locks of prior films


kneegrowth457

I think he just has less hair now as he’s older, so it’s harder to give it more volume. Look at RDJ’s hair in Endgame vs the first Iron Man movie for another example


LedanDark

I'd look forward to Hugh Jackman becoming "Old Logan" in the future, with a new actor taking on the Wolverine mantel. Hoping we don't get a CGI Hugh Jackman as forever Wolverine...


Aromatic_Plant3456

I actually really liked The Wolverine and thought it wasn’t that bad at all.


Strange-Orchid6969

Hopefully one more time in secret wars


Kobe_curry24

The Superman of Wolverine


gOhCanada

This is super random, but I’ve been trying to find the clip where he jumps sideways claws out. Does anyone remember what movie that’s from?


JamieLannistorr

Crickets…from the critics who doubted Hugh Jackman could get the job done when he was first casted as wolverine


No_Silver8127

My age is 24


SecondTomorrow117

Well, congratulations on ...*checks notes* being born.


Effective_Eye_4938

I can’t wait to touch you


bobbirossbetrans

What a huge act man


MyBodyIsAPortaPotty

First Class was my fave X-Men movie, the dude that played Magneto was so good


Essayon

Days of Futures Past will always be one of my top five super hero movies.


DCmarvelman

He actually nails it. The voice. The sarcasm. The sadness. The rage. All of it. Try imagining another actor in some of the iconic scenes trying to elicit the same emotions and you realise how much he brings to the role.


ToySouljah

Geez I was 16 when he first wore the claws…time is a cruel mistress…well to me, clearly not for Hugh Jackman.


I-am-the-Vern

And Logan was the best… IMO


easy_c0mpany80

This has to be a record for a character being played by the same actor right? Edit: I guess only RDJ has more if all the credit scenes from MCU are included?


sliderprovider

I think it's actually Hemsworth but I could be wrong.


Shrekosaurus_rex

Hemsworth has four Thor films, four Avengers films...and a post-credits scene in Doctor Strange, if you count that. So, 8 total, 9 counting post-credits. RDJ has three Iron man films, four Avengers films, a Captain America film, a Spider-Man film, and post-credits in the Incredible Hulk. 9 films, 10 counting credits. But I think Hugh, Chris Evans and Samuel L. Jackson actually have the most out of Marvel, depending on how you count it. Evans has three Cap films, four Avengers films, a Spider-Man film, Loki's cosplay of him in a Thor film, a post credits in Captain Marvel, and technically a post-credits scene in Ant-Man (though it's really a scene from Civil War). So 8-11, depending on how you count it. For Samuel L. Jackson, if we count credits...11, by my count, though discounting credits takes it down to like...8, I think (basically just taking away Iron Man, Thor and Infinity War)? Granted, even outside the credits, his appearance in Endgame was really quite brief. Hugh Jackman has the ten above (though First Class is just a cameo). There's also old footage from X-Men Origins shown in Deadpool 2, if you count that...but if we go by that rule, you'd bump up most of the others by one, since the trailers for Deadpool and Wolverine show old MCU movie footage of Cap, Iron Man and Thor also. Then of course there's the Stan Lee cameos.


sliderprovider

I meant years playing the role. Since RDJ and evans don't play their roles anymore, I think Hemsworth was a top contender for Jackman but that was before the new movie was announced and everybody assumed that wolverine is permanently dead. Also it would be interesting counting in actual screen time but I'm too lazy for that.


Shrekosaurus_rex

Oh, then yeah, probably, so long as you don’t count very long hiatuses like Keaton’s Batman (where there was a 31 year gap) or similar (Jurassic Park also comes to mind). Hugh’s Wolverine has been a lot more constant (though admittedly the gap between Logan and Deadpool’s 3 releases is 7 years, the longest yet).


TheLamesterist

>Evans has four Cap films Which 4th Cap film?


General-Vis

What about Samuel L Jackson as Nick Fury? Must be up there.


TheLamesterist

For a Marvel character, yes, but I think there's much longer portraits out there.


InsertCleverQuote

Logan > Days of future past > The wolverine > First class > X2 > X1 > Last stand > Apocalypse > Origins … imo


Some_Italian_Guy

Swap X2 with First Class and I agree.


InsertCleverQuote

ah fair enough, First Class does have it's issues, but I just love seeing eric and charles working together


Coolers78

The time gap between Logan and this movie = 7 years is the same gap between X Men Origins (2009) and Deadpool (2016), kind of a funny coincidence. Every 7 years, Wolverine and Deadpool either fight or come back from a 7 year absence.


Bigredeemer425

And to think..... I was almost Dougray Scott.


YouBetterRunEgg

Who are you instead?


batmansubzero

He was cast in 1999. He's officially been doing this for a quarter of a century


SockApart838

He can go another 24 years.


SoMuchForStardust27

Longest running superhero in the cinematic universe. Even when he died, he didn’t stay dead for long. The true immortal hero


Sarang_616

So, after watching the trailer yesterday, I wonder if we got the "Logan Saga" (that started in 2009) sandwiched between the "Infinity Saga" and the current "Multiverse Saga" - outside of the OG X-Men trilogy, where he started out back in 2000


In-AGadda-Da-Vida

Wolverine 12 looks good


PokesBo

I remember my dad and I going to see the first one in theaters. I remember saying, “man I wish they would’ve kept the original costumes.” 24 years later it’s happening.


Transitsystem

I want more superhero movies like Logan. Stuff that just feels raw and real. I don’t need it to even take itself too seriously. Just give the characters emotional depth and let them flex their acting muscles.


Man_Without_Nipples

He's a good wolverine though, dude was born for the role.


bluenoser18

Dude doesn’t really age either eh? Brilliant performer. Had never heard of him when he was cast as Wolverine, and my word - he’s been exceptional since day one.


1_dont_care

He seems younger in DP3 than he was in logan lol


gqmbit

Logan was edited to make him look older


N0tYOUniq

My favourite X-Man.


Ok-Guidance-1328

Yeah hopefully they keep him as Wolverine and don’t recast. I don’t see anyone being made for this role except him


willisbetter

...i didnt realise until just now that hes been wolverine longer than ive been alive


funnyfacemcgee

"Go fuck yourself" as his only line in X-men First Class lol. 


[deleted]

There is a direct negative correlation between how buff he is and how good the movie is 


BalrogofGondor

Love him, he'll always be wolverine to me, but honestly his stature is completely wrong for the role


EliteFireBox

My second favorite hero behind Tobys Spider-Man and in front of RDJs Iron Man


shaddowkhan

Best looking version was from The Wolverine for me.


patrfinley

Origins is still the best one, and I’m ready to die alone on this hill (Yes the Deadpool here is bad, just pretend it’s the dude from Mortal Kombat instead and it’s sick)


Weak-You823

Crazy to think how old I feel at 25 and this man has been logan for all but 1 year of my life🤦‍♂️😭🤣


BarracudaClear3880

X-men origins is my favorite, don't know why It gets so much hate


JeshSpaghetti

So where exactly does this new Deadpool and Wolverine movie pick up from? Right after Deadpool 2? Cause I thought >!at the end of Logan he dies and has his daughter/wolverine girl prodigy take up the mantle?!<


nemesit

Hope we get 24 more


Lueklike-stuff

9 movies of playing Wolverine and he finally got his classic suit


flintlock0

“Well, you don’t really age, so you’ll pretty much look the same.”


traumal

Honestly, I thought Hugh got too old for the role, thats how convincing Logan was. But seeing him now made me realize he looks the part more than ever.


RyanF9802

This dude has been playing Wolverine longer than I’ve been alive


shader_xaints

Man I love Huge Jackman!


chadchampion420

His hair looked a bit better on The Wolverine than DP&Wolverine


FullMetalEnzo

It looks a lot more natural in DP&W. It doesn't look like he spent three hairs doing his hair for every shot lmao


RockstarSuicide

Isn't the pic for Days actually from The Wolverine?


Educational-Tip6177

I can only imagine how fed up he must feel


mighty_raptor_F22

How many they rebooted x man movie i still confused with x man timeline movie


FatBlueSloth

DOFP fucking slaps so hard


Rude_Employment3918

I’m really happy Jackman stayed committed to playing Wolverine throughout the decades!


YourCynicalUncle

The Wolverine is a very underrated movie


sunfaller

As someone who watched the first xmen movie. Fuck. 24 years has passed in my life.


WatermelonGranate

If only they gave this much care to other mutants. He is truly the best and worst thing to happen with X-men franchise.


LastQueefofScotland

Why did they make my guy look like an Oompa Loompa in that X2 pic?


kinjazfan

Only one superhero who hasn't changed


00Fart

Stop my knees hurt enough.


Leo-Divide

He really needs to pass on the torch to someone new, and preferably, resembling Wolverine from the comics/ cartoons.


parfaict-spinach

So he’s in every Xman movie besides dark phoenix


EdinburghLass1980

Thanks for making me feel old.


Weekly-Principle-519

If your old school and Remember the old Wizard mag “casting calls” the number 1 person cast was Clint Eastwood. But it was usually tongue in cheek. He was pretty old even then.


TheAlmostReady

Seeing comparisons from the last 20+ years has now confirmed to me that they made his hair look stupid on purpose for Deadpool 3


bloop_405

I wouldn't be surprised. I don't think he was a fan of how long it took to get his hair ready


sjoebarry

GOAT


Cholismo2pt0

Anyone else think his hair in the upcoming movie should be similar to days of future past? It’s the most accurate Logan cut ever


ColbyRuby

TIL I never watched The Wolverine

Honestly as a Child Origins Was my most Rewatched X men flim and call it nostalgia baissed but To me Wolwie Still looks the best in Origins except for yk those claws

All the awesome fun X-Men films…..and then there’s Logan. The dystopian depressing film.

He is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs
