Hugh Jackman Announces Open Casting for Wolverine 2

It would be cool to meet Hugh, but sadly, I wouldn't go anywhere near another wolverine/x-men movie

Please make it soon :)

One thing that has always bugged me about Hugh Jackman as Wolverine is his height! Wolverine/Logan is listed at 5'3" whereas Hugh is 6'2". It just isn't right, tho Hugh has made Logan come alive. But Logan needs to be a short man and Hugh is starting to get long in the tooth.

But just look at Origins...it stank like rotting meat!!! I thought Liev was the only good thing about it! Hugh was way too over-dramatic in it!

I want Marvel to buy the rights back and make good accurate X-men movies and Wolverine movies! Wolverine in Japan should be an (R) movie! Someone else needs to be a more accurate and shorter Logan. Now these are reboots I would actually want to see!

Anyone read Old Man Logan? Mysterio FTW

I Say again. VIPER!!!

Heh heh! ; )

DDD- In X-1 Singer filmed Jackman so he looked shorter then Cyclops who's height in real life is 5'11. I agree with you on the height, but Jackman is Wolverine. They just need to use the camera magic to shorten him up. I wish they would go for an R rating, or at least put out an unrated version when released on dvd and bluray, Wolverine was never meant to appeal to children, I want blood on the damn claws Fox, you hear me?????

i actually liked origins and will be getting the two disc on tuesday. it was better than transformers and 80,000 times better than gi [frick]ing joe!!!!!!!

I didn't hate Origins as much as many (apparently), so I have hope for the sequel. Especially, if it's going to be in Japan. Those were always some of my favorite Wolverine comics.

I just hope he doesn't do as much posing. I can't tell you how many times in "Wolverine" the camera cuts to Hugh coming out of a pose. It seriously looked like he'd been standing there waiting for the camera.

When you look at comic art it is easy to think that all the characters are posing for a "camera". I like to think the artist is capturing heroes in action. Showing us a glimpse of a character in natural motion.

They dont stand around with their legs spread and their fists out waiting for someone to acknowledge them.

DDD @ I did man!!!

An i told ppl to go and see your X-FORCE FAN CAST in FAN FIC in my article!

Awesome cast dude! ; )

"There are going to be many parts" - Translates nicely into another overcrowded hash of underdeveloped characters. Thought the 1st was an enjoyable film but that's not enough for one of (if not THE) worlds favorite superhero.

"a couple of years down the track" - That's too far. Unless it's fast tracked and filming at the start of next year Hugh needs to wave good bye. He is looking too old for this role and a couple of years will spell a truly horrible performance. No amount of passion or talent will be able to cover how old he is for this.

@Howlett: I disagree about Hugh's age being a factor. That dude was ripped up in XMOW! Besides, Logan is, like, 150 years old and there are stories that can be told at different periods of his life.

DDD. I agree with you on the Hights. I fight with my friends all the time, telling them that he was Jackman was to tall for the roll and over over-dramatic.Liev Schreiber was DIFFERENTLY an improvement form the Xmens Victor Creed. But Origins had it good and bad moments. the end of the movie was HORRIBLE. I mean who's idea was it to give Dead Pool, all those powers,close his mouth and give him swords in his hands, WOW! I think Chris Benwa had the perfect built for Logan. With some acting lesson, I think he maybe could of pulled it off.

@ crash

there's the problem right there, you think a wrestler would have made a better wolverine than hugh jackman...let me guess, john cena should play cap, right?? lol kidding man

@ brent

if the hand are in this, thats a good possibility!! at least the teenage mutant ninja turtles had an open casting call FOR MARTIAL ARTS EXPERTS! this sounds like they just want background people, lol.

@ howlett

yeah, apoc is more an xmen villain, than a wolvie villain. but they COULD do x-men: days of future past! wolvie is old in that! so good idea

damn i wish i were asian, i could have the chance to be one of a hundred new cameos that we'll see in this movie!!!!

hahahahaha teabag

You guys think Ian McKellen was too tall for Gandalf, I mean what was he about 9' 4" lol... Or wait was it just that Ian Holm was 4' 1"? Like ASSASSIN666 said, forced perspective baby, forced perspective. And shit, Hugh's dedication to the role alone makes him pretty deserving of the part, let alone that he rocks it. And he is looking older in the interviews we see him in, but he works out for like a year when he's getting ready to film. Plus like Bijous says, just take advantage of the age factor - I'm not usually in favor of rushing movies, but I agree with some of you guys, if they fasttrack this one it could pay off - BECAUSE hopefully they learned from the shitty reviews and mistakes of the last one.

@ASSASSIN666 Hard R !%$?ers, Hard R *grin*

@Superdog I just think it's hit or miss man, granted so far the academy award winning directors haven't exactly blown us away, but I'll say it again and again until I'm out of breath and you guys want to kick me in the nuts, after TDK and Iron Man (and even Watchmen) I think those formulas will pave the way. I just think alot of directors didn't take the genre very seriously and/or have any idea what could be accomplished with this type of film.

Actually wasn't Borigins in production for like longer than TDK? or nearly as long I think, that's why they did the reshoots to try and "make it more realistic" lol...

So glad this site has it's own psychic named Weiner123, now I don't have to pay to know my future. With a name like that, how could you not know the future... I am so relieved =)
