Hugh Jackman plays Wolverine and the seventh time in 2017 , with another solo mutant project will reach the mark of eight films with the same role , one more than the incarnations of James Bond Sean Connery . But the Australian actor still does not seem to be tired . "I 'm enjoying playing Wolverine more than ever . Guess that the last two films seemed to me that for the entire franchise and the character himself , was like a new beginning," he says , still bearing the marks of a skin cancer recently removed . Jackman remains as enthusiastic about the paper that does not want to drop the bone even with the announcement that soon will die in the comics Wolverine . "Let's not forget that I was the guy who came off the bench to play Wolverine . Persons who leave the bench to play are those which you have to drag off the field ," compares . But before anything , Wolverine returns to the last feature directed by Bryan Singer , try to avoid events that led to a catastrophic future for mutants.
