If Wolverine Flops, Hugh Jackman Walks

If Wolverine Flops, Hugh Jackman Walks

Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman told reporters that he will leave the X-Men series if X-Men Origins: Wolverine doesn't do decent box office when it opens May, 1st 2009. Said Jackman, "If it's clear to us on May second or third that that's gone, then I'll walk away happily."

Even though Jackman has talked openly about what he'd like to do with the character if a sequel happens (he wants to explore the Japanese storylines), he told Moviehole.net...

"I’m not going to flog something – or flog a dead horse, or try and make movies that people don’t really want to go and see. I have no interest in that. Even no matter how much I love the character. So there are many prerequisites".

It doesn't sound like he's tired of the role, or WANTS to leave the franchise...

"There’s a few story lines that are running my head which I think would be really cool, but unless the script is right, then I just don’t see the point in doing it. I’m probably at the point in my career where I don’t need it. And the last thing I want to do is just to push it on people, if it doesn’t warrant a full feature movie."
