Man Hugh I hope you're not exagerating. You can't really afford to do that without losing face with fans after Origins. Still can't believe how bad that movie was.

I just saw The Fountain with him and Aronofsky. Crazy movie but really good. It would have been cool to see them team up again

Liev Schreiber as Sabertooth and the one scene with Wade Wilson deflecting bullets(lol) were the only bearable things about it.

Scheiber is a good actor, so his base level acting is a given. And really, as far as the one scene, it was just reminiscint(or maybe it was just kinda cool to watch) of Deadpool.

I wish some journalist will finally ask him "Will you wear a mask in this one ?"

please, just let this be good. i like jackman, and like that he cares about the character. i am know he did his best for origins, but i am sure watching the end result was like the rest of us underwhelmed. action was good, some actors were good but that was it.

he got the job to play wolverine and since falling in love with the character seems willing to continue playing this role as long as he is able. us comic fans don't often get that kind of dedication to a character we love.

This is about the third or fourth article I've read about "The Wolverine" in which the source material is cited as being "Frank Miller's Wolverine story" and while I realize that FM did the art for this story, didn't Chris Claremont actually write the Wolverine Japan series? Where the hell is Claremont's recognition?

@cipher

Dedication isn't enough.

He doesn't look the part, and he's a shit actor. Only one of these two can compensate for a lack of the other, not bullshit "dedication".

And he's dedicated to the part because Wolverine's his only successful role. He has no career, if he has no Wolverine.

PEOPLE WOULD GO NUTS IF THEY KNEW HE WAS WEARING THE SUIT AND MASK.

I don't understand people who say Jackman is a bad actor. He's not, he's a good actor who just happens to end up in a lot of bad movies. But watching those movies, you can still see that he's dedicated to the craft. Hugh Jackman is a rare example of an actor who never phones in a performance - he always gives it his all.

Not only that, but he's a fan of the character and completely dedicated to the role - many actor's would have long given up the role by now, most actors only last for 3 superhero films. But Hugh is persistent, and whether the film is good or bad, he's always one of the best things about the film. And the fact that he's so dedicated to the role seems to tell me that he wants to make sure that it's done right, and that he won't call it quits until they make a Wolverine film he's proud to be a part of. And he absolutely deserves that.

He's brilliant in The Prestige, I love that film and he really draws in the audience and makes them sympathize with him. And he shares the screen with Michael Caine and Christian Bale in that film too, and he completely holds his own.

unless the the trailer really amazes me or my friends say its really good i will be skipping this in theaters. The X-Men and Wolvie most of all have been some of my favorite characters since i was little and Origins seriously crushed my faith in these movies and First Class only solidified that (though better than the 2 before it)

To those doubting Jackman and his claims, remember that when he's shooting, he's seeing a lot of stuff that we don't. Deleted scenes that don't make it on the DVD, different concepts. I'm sure he truly believes that they're going to do the character justice. But when studios get involved, things sometimes get turned upside down. Have faith. The Wolverine has a terrific director and a cool premise. I'm looking forward to seeing how this fits in with the other films, even Wolverine.

WTF !! the only poor argument jackman have to say is that one day the great film director Aronofsky was attached to the film, before leaving it for artistic reasons!
what a poor argument!
I already imagine the posters for robocop and wolverine with the inscription "not directed by Aronofsky, but it could have!"

so, this is the same man who said about x3 and origin, they would be the best and most faithful adaptation of the X-Universe on the big screen!
what a joke ...

LMFAO @jumpinjehosophat :)
