Hugh Jackman Desperate For THE WOLVERINE To Team-Up With Spider-Man And The Avengers
Despite complications with where the rights are held, The Wolverine's Hugh Jackman reveals that he's been badgering the folks at Marvel to see if it would be possible for Logan to fight side-by-side The Avengers and The Amazing Spider-Man.
Earlier this year, Hugh Jackman revealed that he would like nothing more than to see Wolverine fighting alongside Earth's Mightiest Heroes. In a recent interview with Collider, the Academy Award nominated actor told the site that he has actually approached Marvel to see if such a crossover could ever be made a reality. "I literally asked the same question the other day to Tom from Marvel who works with all the other studios, he works with Sony and Fox, that’s his job to liaise. I said, ‘Man, can this happen?’ and he goes ‘Look, it’s not gonna be easy because you’re working with different studios and they’re their properties.’ But I believe—maybe I’m optimistic, I understand at Marvel they’ve got The Avengers, they’ve got a lot of big things going on, but at some point I just find it almost impossible that there’s not a way to bring Iron Man, all the Avengers characters, Wolverine, the X-Men characters, Spider-Man, and somehow get them in together." However, as we all know, the rights issues make such a team-up incredibly difficult! Jackman meanwhile has a very sensible solution as to how they could handle it. "I don’t see the impediment! I’m like, okay you’ve got three studios, just split it three ways in terms of the cost, and happy days it’s all coming together! I would love to… I’m in for it, I’m totally up for it because I think that would be really exciting for fans across the board."
Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
