I definitely DONT want to see Jimmy Hudson in any films at all. Keep Hugh as long as they can, He does Wolverine really well and there's no need to replace him.

Jackassman is a shitty actor. He keeps shouting and crying when acting as wolverine in his Australian actor. Who cares.

Love him as Wolverine but u can tell from the word go Singer didnt care about the illustration of the short, stocky Wolverine. He turned out to be great tho.

Still wonder how different Wolvie would've been written if played by Dougrey Scott.

Funny how Jackman talked up Wolverine Origins like it was the 2nd coming, yet he skates over the topic now. Hard to trust actors. They're paid to promote their movies.

Why would actors say bad things about the movie they star in? Seriously, the people calling him out on talking good about origins. Answer

I love Jackman. You never ever hear any problems from him. He IS the best superhero casting ever. He doesn't whine about money. He loves the character. RDJ wants a raise every time he plays Iron Man, Cavill recently emphasized money as a factor.

I freaking love you Hugh. And all these fanboys crying he's not short. You know what? Hugh is the Wolverine damn it. He's awesome.

Frank Miller's run should have been the reference point for the character from day one. Sadly the train scene/CG looks cheap and nasty. So again, it's all down to Hugh to carry this off. Never count out an Aussie - they're really hard workers. "The Jackman abides."

I think that Hugh Jackman should be Wolverine as long as he can do it. Other than being too tall (Wolverine is 5'3, Hugh is 6'0), Hugh looks more like Wolverine than any actor out there. Plus he's a good actor who tries to stay true to the comic. I just read the other article that said the director wouldn't let them have comics on the set but Hugh had them sneak him in the original Frank Miller and Chris Claremont comics.

He warned everyone about Deadpool at Comic Con that year. In front of cameras... Told everyone that most probably won't like what they[FOX] did to Deadpool.

When he feels something isn't right, he speaks on it.

I'm not saying they should say bad things I'm just saying that u can't believe them when they say its the 2nd coming.

Hugh Jackman is Wolverine! Anyone who disagrees with that is crazy. We all know Fox has fricked up the X-men continuity! I believe Fox is trying to rewrite their mists is with the Wolverine film and Days of Future past. Hugh has given us a great portrayal of the character and to be honest I don't know who will fill his place after he's done playing the role. I say keep him as long as possible! Hugh Jackman is the Wolverine! That's all folks!

These are comic book MOVIES, they take aspects from the books and do what is best to make them look believable on screen. would you be more scared of a 5 ft depressed gremlin or a 6 ft pissed off beast? stop complaining about stuff that you cant change. if your fan, watch them, if not, dont follow news about them
