Hugh Jackman Teases Wolverine's Role In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE
Fox has three huge X-Men films on the way, with the biggest of the three being X-Men: Apocalypse. Over the past few days, we've heard Hugh Jackman's thoughts on Deadpool and The Avengers, but now come hear what he has to say about Fox's biggest X-Men film to date.
Even though Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman has been out promoting his upcoming release Chappie, we've gotten a few noteworthy tidbits from him about the X-Men franchise. Here's a bit of a refresher in case you've somehow missed these pieces:
Hugh Jackman's Open To A WOLVERINE Cameo In DEADPOOL
Hugh Jackman Optimistic That An X-MEN/AVENGERS Crossover Will Happen Someday
Back to the main story, a new video interview has just surfaced, courtesy of the good people at Collider, featuring Jackman being a bit dodgy when asked a question about his workload in Fox's X-Men: Apocalypse. As far as official confirmations go, it's still a bit of a mystery as to whether or not we'll actually see Jackman reprise his role in the upcoming Bryan Singer film, and while he admits to not having read a script yet, if his mannerisms are anything to go by, it does seem likely we'll once again see him suit up as the Wolverine in the highly anticipated X-Men sequel. If he does appear in the film, it would mark the eighth time Hugh's put on the claws, possibly ninth if the Deadpool cameo happens. If neither of the above happens, we'll have to wait and see Jackman return to the role in 2017's Wolverine 3.
