The Wolverine actor confirmed that he will be playing "Blackbeard" in WB's upcoming "Pan". He goes onto describe how he feels about the role, while lighting the Empire State Building in green and gold for Australia Day in New York City.
"I'm very excited," Jackman said, smiling from ear-to-ear. "I love it. I love the director Joe Wright, I love working with Warner Bros. and I think this is just really exciting. It's a very cool project. And it's wonderful for my kids!" he added.
And despite being an Oscar-nominated actor, Jackman says he will never get over his good fortune.
"Back then, I grew up wishing I could travel and wishing someone would pay me to have a job where I could travel, so dreams come true," he said. "Be careful what you wish for."
Warner Bro.'s upcoming fantasy film "Pan" has been gaining a lot of press recently as it shockingly replaced Batman vs Superman for WB's lucky mid-summer 2015 release date.
