Well, looks like the rumors were true! While the cameo sounds like a fairly small, light hearted one, it should be interesting to see exactly what role Hugh Jackman's Wolverine plays in the movie and whether there are any hints of him being the one mutant Matthew Vaughn is planning on introducing in the sequel!

UPDATE: Now that the story has been leaked, we know what the scene is, and Hugh definitely IS playing Wolverine. Here's the cameo as described by the guys at Bleeding Cool...

Half way through X-Men: First Class, as Professor X and Magneto are travelling the world looking for mutants, they come across Wolverine, played by Hugh Jackman, in a bar. Before they can get a sentence out, Wolverine, without looking at them tells them to "Go [frick] yourselves." They leave.

The character’s appearance gets a laugh, his attitude and language gets a double laugh, repeating on itself, through the audience. It’s a superb scene, well played, well staged, well placed. And it’s the only moment such language is used in the entire film. We loved it.






X-Men: First Class is set to be released in the UK on June 1st and in the US on June 2nd.

well who else is going to have cameo, long as isn't distracting so far review suggest that its a decent cameo.
ClaireLannister2016 - 5/24/2011, 6:27 PM
This is me not being suprised: -_-
RorMachine - 5/24/2011, 6:28 PM
haha, I think it's great, Sound like a small cameo played for laughs, what the hell is everyone getting their fan pants in a bunch for?
PaulRom - 5/24/2011, 6:31 PM
YEES!
As much as I'd rather have the film focus entirely on the other characters, a cameo from my favorite X-man is more than welcome.
Hellsing - 5/24/2011, 6:36 PM
they might aswell call it a [frick]ing reboot if wolvies going to be new character in the sequel if it ever happens
vermillion - 5/24/2011, 6:43 PM
Hah, that's awesome! No love for Jackman in these parts?
superdog - 5/24/2011, 6:44 PM
I'm not surprised they seem incapable of making an x-men film without him.
ArcticMonkeys - 5/24/2011, 6:49 PM
i have a feeling his cameo might be when Xavier first puts on Cerebro
ArcticMonkeys - 5/24/2011, 6:50 PM
damn it @arminies you beat me by like a second
WesleyGibson - 5/24/2011, 6:52 PM
Wolverine ruined what potential the X-Men flicks could have had. I think that it is a worthless cameo and shouldn't have been put in the film. Not every damn X-men flick needs a wolverine for christ sake!

I started to hate the films totally cause of how much the films revolved around wolverine instead of what the films were called: X-MEN. I am sooo tired of wolverine. having to hear about him in another piece of media is as old as eating Ramen Noodles everyday!=D
RorMachine - 5/24/2011, 6:52 PM
nah, apparently Mr Logan will say a very naughty word in the movie!:)
Xandera - 5/24/2011, 6:53 PM
Really? Is it really necessary?
The other movies were all about Wolverine and now he pops up in the one he shouldn't be in...
oh well...
looks like Fox has done it again...
vermillion - 5/24/2011, 7:02 PM
Intruder- Good question. The first one was very "meh" to me. I'm hoping to get more excited for it before I go see it. Hopefully they'll show some more war scenes or something awesome.

axiouz - 5/24/2011, 7:07 PM
This just got better!
jjmeylar - 5/24/2011, 7:10 PM
Funny? Too bad. I was hoping to see he and Victor rescue Erik. *sigh*
blueorangeny - 5/24/2011, 7:14 PM
So i guess this answers my question. This film is a prelude to the previous 3 films
JatevinM - 5/24/2011, 7:17 PM
I think it would be epic if the cameo is of him as one of the soldiers who is about to fight. It doesnt have to be a speaking cameo just the camera getting a shot of his face for a few seconds and then moving off.
DrCKasady - 5/24/2011, 7:26 PM
ALPHA FLIGHT MOVIE SHOULD BE MADE!


WITH WOLVERINE CAMEO!


MORE CAPITOL LETTERS!
blueorangeny - 5/24/2011, 7:30 PM
[frick] this, I think Marvel should have just grown balls...walk into Mickey's office and said....I want my properties back at no cost!!!

Then perhaps a decent X film could have been made and be some type of continuation of the last mess of a 3rd that was unfortunately presented to us.

Let me get an Amen if you're with me.
YeaOkYea - 5/24/2011, 7:31 PM
Great. Just great. Can FOX just call these films "Wolverine and The X-Men" already?
MGS - 5/24/2011, 7:32 PM
I. AM. SO. SICK. OF. WOLVERINE.

They can't seem to make one damn movie without him! Cameo or no Cameo!
Peteyparker - 5/24/2011, 7:32 PM
LOL so much for that no Wolverine thing.......oh well it was too good to be true huh?
kingmonkeyman - 5/24/2011, 7:33 PM
Does this mean his "brother" Sabertooth has a cameo as well. I thought i saw him fall out of the submarine Magneto is lifting.I was hoping it was Xavier's step brother and Banshee's cousin.
Nilso - 5/24/2011, 7:34 PM
I mentioned this cameo on an earlier news story here and some nerd called me out. I've seen a screening of this movie and it was alright. I estimate the overall reviews of this movie will be like 60% positive.
RockNRollCC - 5/24/2011, 7:35 PM
god damnit

they just had to squeeze in their money maker. Didn't expect anything less from Fox...corporate fat cats...
yankeemanf - 5/24/2011, 7:37 PM
who said wolverine is gonna be in the movie? it jus says jackman is gonna cameo that can mean anythin he could jus be an extra that has a one-liner similar to what stan lee does in his cameos
RockNRollCC - 5/24/2011, 7:43 PM
Wait...funny Hugh Jackman cameo?...THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE DEADPOOL MOVIE!

*SPOILERS*
After Wade Wilson gets all scarred up from the procedure (the RIGHT way), he walks around with a magazine cut out of Hugh Jackman's face over his face.
marvel72 - 5/24/2011, 7:47 PM
wolverine is the centre of the x-universe & everything revolves around him.

sad,i just knew they couldn't make an x-men film without him.
ThePrince - 5/24/2011, 7:55 PM
this may not be all that bad really. its probably just gonna be Hugh sitting in a bar that X and Mags are at, or theyll show his face as one of the soldiers going to battle.
thesymbiote - 5/24/2011, 7:56 PM
All you guys care about is how many people come on this site because it boosts your advertising income.

Don't [frick]ing sit there and tell me that isn't cooler to be SURPRISED by this cameo in the theatre.

CBM is run by a bunch of self-centred assholes who then condescend and talk down to anyone who complains about GENUINE SPOILERS.

How hard is it to simply post a spoiler warning with a question mark about a CAMEO!
Watcher - 5/24/2011, 7:57 PM
I knew it

lol
StingrayX - 5/24/2011, 8:15 PM
Wow...now this Xmen deal got more confusing...they should have just left the original trilogy and that's it.
SweetTooth316 - 5/24/2011, 8:28 PM
Wow it's a cameo appearance (probably two seconds) people are bad-mouthing a movie cuz of that?
There was some awkward silence when Magneto took Wolverine's dogtags away from Sabretooth, so I always assumed he met Wolverine before X1
Btw it's funny to watch it, you can see the string pulling the tags for that magnatism effect
SHHH - 5/24/2011, 8:32 PM
whats the big deal? wolverine cameo? no cameo folks will complain.. they give him a cameo and folks complain? there is no pleasing anyone.. just enjoy it...:)
luckylu - 5/24/2011, 8:39 PM
my hatred grows...
CaptainAmerica - 5/24/2011, 8:40 PM
@Intruder, kinda like Nick Fury in all the Marvel films?
vermillion - 5/24/2011, 8:52 PM
Yeah, Nick Fury has more of a purpose in appearing in the films than Wolverine does in this.

I don't see why it's such a big deal though. The GA loves Hugh Jackman as Wolvie. He's been playing him for a good 10 or so years. Plus if the new Wolverine movie doesn't happen, I can see them putting him in future X-Men movies. Maybe they'll bring in the original team at some point, who knows.

I pretty much thought this was going to be a terrible film since they first gave details about it, but it seems to be making a turn around. I'm not hyped for it, but I'll check it out. Charles & Magneto are the main draw for me.
HULK2099 - 5/24/2011, 9:24 PM
Hopefully involves japan
Ranger14 - 5/24/2011, 9:27 PM
I guess it depends on the purpose of the cameo. Is he in the film as a bystander who has nothing to do with the actual storyline, or is he appearing as James Howlett/Logan?If is the latter, than chalk up another continuity discrepancy. I guess it could give relevance to Bishop being in the sequel to explain why an older Logan is in this film.
jaybear - 5/24/2011, 9:38 PM
Not to tread on the feelings of Wolverine fans but, really? c'mon.. I know he's what sells in the X-Men franchise but couldn't they just for once not include him? I mean he's already got his solo movie and a sequel is coming.. Isn't that enough?
double facepalm epic fail disappointment
SuperPickle - 5/24/2011, 9:49 PM
Wow, All these Marvel zombies hating on a Wolverine cameo!!! LOL!! As though the Marvel film universe EVER would have gotten off the ground without him?! Don't even. If not for him, no X-Men movies EVER would have been made or been successful. Bank on it. You don't see WB randomly inserting Batman into every film, do you? HAHA!!!

Enjoy the hypocrisy, guys. You earned it!
SuperSpiderMan5778 - 5/24/2011, 9:52 PM
oh jesus God in heaven no
jackpackage - 5/24/2011, 9:56 PM
WTF is everybody tripping about??Marvel Comics the source material everyone is always pleading to be faithful to puts Wolverine in almost everything too,so whats the problem?? I mean Wolvie is a freaking Avenger now.So whats wrong with him doing a small cameo?Wolverine has always been my favorite character and I'm not gonna let some people who because he became so popular think he's over-rated change that.He was my favorite character even before he had his 1st solo book.
Illuminatus - 5/24/2011, 10:10 PM
@jackpackage He is overrated. So overrated, that the tools on comicvine think Wolverine can take on Silver Surfer because of his healing factor. That's how overrated Bub has become. What do people look for in X-Men movies? Wolverine. Not Cyclops, not Jean Grey, not Iceman, not Beast, not Emma Frost, not Havok, not Angel, not Jubilee, not Dazzler, not Colossus, not Nightcrawler, not Kitty Pryde, not Apocalypse, not Mr. Sinister, not Polaris, not Juggernaut, not the Sentinels, not Riptide, none of those guys are what the general public and Fox go gaga for. It's been Wolverine from day one, and it only solidifies the theory that Fox has a disturbing obsession with the character.

Also, Wolverine's popularity in 616 and Ultimates is directly related to the films. Yes, he was always pretty cool and somewhat important before, but not to the point where Marvel makes up some BS so Wolvie can have a bigger role in Civil War. Because people go apeshit for him. Sorry, but when they start making an animated show call "Wolverine, and the X-Men", you know his popularity has overflowed.
Illuminatus - 5/24/2011, 10:17 PM
On a ligher note, as much as I already didn't care about this movie, this just makes me chuckle. There's actually a silver lining to this. Instead of Fox introducing some random character and butchering them in later films, they're sticking in a character they've already diluted nearly beyond recognition.

And to the people saying "IT DOESN'T SAY HE'S WOLVERINE!!! JUST HUGH JACKMAN", you really need to think straight. Like Fox would recast Hugh Jackman in another role? No. That would be a catastrophic mistake from a business/marketing perspective.
CaptainAmerica - 5/24/2011, 10:25 PM
@Intruder, nah I'll give you that one. What's the issue with a [frick]ing cameo though? It's obviously not a selling point since Fox hasn't said anything about it to get more people to show up. Tony Stark has been the focus of 2 Marvel films already, he's also had a cameo and will be part of the focus in the Avengers. Would you complain if he were to make a small cameo in something like Doctor Strange?
SuspenseSmith - 5/24/2011, 10:27 PM
That's all I needed to know. I'll go see it just for the sake of Logan's cameo.

Why are people bad mouthing it.

It's the same difference as Arnold's "cameo" in Terminator Salvation, which was awesome.

It's not a terminator movie without Arnold, and it's not an X-Men movie without Hugh Jackman. Personally.

Wolverine and Magneto are the only two mutants I give a shit about in the end.
Lokibegoodstick - 5/24/2011, 10:34 PM
Well that's exactly what I expected but yah could've posted this in an unspoiler way, kinda hard not to see the headline. Oh well hope he guts someone.
TPerryoo7 - 5/24/2011, 10:34 PM
WTF, seriously putting that right on the front page in my face, thanks for spoiling that. I knew there was a cameo, but didn't think anything of it.

This will probably piss alot of people off, Just lettin ya know. The spoiler, and not because Jackmans in the movie

Jackman being in the movie makes it THAT much more awesome.
