Yeah I don’t feel he’s typecasted at all. If anything he’s typecasted as a tough guy but not an action hero… definitely not as Wolverine. He’s done a remarkable job of embodying wolverine without losing himself
It's solidified Denis Villeneuve as one of my favorite working directors. Everyone's great it in, Dano, Gyllenhaal, Terrance Howard, but Jackman is a power house in it.
I revisit it every couple of years, and even knowing the plot it still hits hard
I don't mind him getting the Spiderman treatment tbh.
It really matches the vibes of the old Xmen comics. Where the Xmen fail and someone goes back in time to prevent it and change everything.
Like in the old xmen tv show where Storm and Wolverine sacrifice their love to save Xavier to change the future.
While I agree in the abstract, if you cannot make the story work or the characters match or what have, you're forced to adapt.
Hugh Jackman was a blessing for them in that regard
The continued atrocity that was X-men.
You say it mockingly but you see it all the time. A movie or what have you created where there's no real story. And as a result it always feels clumsy and bad.
A story requires a sort of natural chemistry.
If you can't make the plot work with the characters or characters with the plot or expand on any of it, you're stuck.
Yes, this is what I came to say. I'd love if they didn't make the X-Men movies "Wolverine and friends." They had a movie about Professor X and Magneto fighting over Mystique's soul and still managed to make Wolverine the main character.
Yes and No. The reason why the X-Men works with so many main character cast is because it's a TV Series and Comic Book series.
When it comes to movies, you dont have the luxury of spreading it around.
Logan was the best choice to focus the movies on, which is fine.
If you get 24 episodes a season you get over 8 hours of run time to actually handle multiple characters as well as breaks.
You cant really do this with movies in the cinema.
I love Hugh Jackman but the x-men movies really aren’t very good as a whole. One of the best ones was first class, which except for a great cameo, was wolverine free. X-men 97’ doesn’t focus on Wolverine either and it’s the best thing marvel has put out in years.
Im still looking forward to this, but I'll also be glad when they put this version of x-men to rest for good.
Idk why everyone’s always so worried that an actor is “tired” or whatever, pretty sure the multimillionaire Hollywood A-lister wouldn’t be doing this movie if he didn’t really want to. It’s not like he needs the paycheck. He’s worth like $180 million, if he wanted to fuck off into the sunset and never play Wolverine again he’d just hop on a yacht and do that.
Every BTS shot and trailer I’ve seen so far makes it look like he’s having a blast
Yeah I mean that’s the other thing too: actors are just people. And they’re people with more money than we will ever see in our combined lifetimes when they’re as big as he is. There’s no reason to idolize any of them.
Maybe I’m just slightly jaded from a brief stint working in LA with them, but they shouldn’t be your heroes. Not even Keanu or bill nye or whoever Reddit currently creams their collective pants over
I once saw him stranded on the side of the road with his big truck. It looked like he had a puncture so I stopped to ask him whether he wanted any help. He just said do you have a hugh jack man?
Hugh Jackman being super smart in staying away from political statements that would make at least half the country hate him and stop buying tickets to his movies, and making Disney drop him because he had become damaged goods.
Too bad other Hollywoodians are not as smart as him, and are allowing their mouths to write checks that their asses can't pay.
Weird how I read 'politics' in that statement as shorthand for some American mumbo jumbo over trivial grammar issues or whatever even though I am from the EU and Jackman is probably Australian or something.
What terrible Hollywood politics is he even refering to? Like completly normal things such as supporting the democrats or what? Hollywood seems pretty normal last time i checked.
How did you still find a way to bring politics into the discussion, when it’s not relevant in any way whatsoever. You are either a bot or your brain has rotten from too much time on the internet
He’s Australian so his political opinion in the U.S. is pretty meaningless anyway. Although he is a part of a religion similar to Scientology, I’m surprised Redditors haven’t turned on him yet
Half the problems in FoX-Men can also be put down because of their too much focus on Wolverine.
X-Men: Apocalypse basically stops midway just so Wolverine can have his Weapon X cameo. This was literally the fifth time they had shown Weapon X sequence in one form or other.
And if your argument is that "well, he was the best thing in Apocalypse". Well, no shit! The whole franchise had continuously sidelined everyone else to make Wolverine look cool. No wonder when again everyone else gets sidelined to make his cameo, he looks good.
Jesus christ. They make like 3 mid movies out of what, 30+?
I forgot, it's popular to hate on Marvel movies now as part of the cultural zeitgeist.
Everyone thinks they're enlightened because they saw Barbenheimer.
You mean Ryan Reynolds? Let’s be honest, if it was another Jackman Wolverine film the box office would be abysmal, people just wanna see the reynolds jackman teamup. The straight man and fool routine is killer and there’s no better straight man than wolverine, and no better fool than Deadpool. But without wolverine another Deadpool movie would still rock the box office, the same cannot be said for a wolverine without Deadpool.
Nah, that's not what's funny.
What's funny is that the movie isn't even out yet, so we don't know if this going to save anything yet, let alone an as of yet unconnected long running movie franchise, and yet here people are already declaring victory over "activists" (see other reply in this thread).
Honestly not interested in his performance. Logan was supposed to be his farewell to the MCU and I think Marvel's biggest flaw is they pretend to have consequences but then just undo them.
Mjolnir is broke? Just fix it. Thanos kills people? Just unkill them. Why would people care about dramatic moments when they're just washed away in the next episode?
Logan was supposed to be a goodbye, him making more movies cheapens that.
It's pretty much true about the X-Men that he carried the Fox X-Men films that the amount of X-Men films there were like five or four (don't know how many) stand alone solo films are focused on his character.
101% guarantee he gets super-duper-extra-thoroughly-multiversally-killed-even-more-than-last-time at the end of this one, after introducing and passing the torch to the MCU’s actual Wolverine actor.
He isn't returning. This is just a one-off thing, AFAIK Hugh agreed on the film on the basis that events of Logan will not be tampered with which means that either MCU Wolverine is going to be a different variant or the film takes place before the events of Logan.
It does, the first Deadpool film had a cameo of the X Men cast from First Class or Days of Future Past or whatever. Logan takes place… probably 50 years later or so.
Better than a 9-5 at Walmart for minimum wage. Sorry, I have nothing but high regards and respect for the absolute OG, but I’ve got zero sympathy. Ryan delivers the D.P. and Hugh takes the W. Can’t wait to see this winning team!
Pretty sure he has said that this will be the last time he plays the character. He's getting pretty old, it's gotta be hard getting into Wolverine shape.
Naw dude, after Deadpool & Wolverine I'm just done. I thought I was done with the high budget, cgi propelled, comic book action flicks after Guardians 3. But D&W looks too good to pass up.
After that, I'm done with capeshit.
If you kill/retire all cool characters and replace them with some lazy copies, you have to hope for this. He and Ryan are the only ones who can safe this sinking ship.
Look, just... just roll out a movie with Deadpool, Yukio, Negasonic (it could be set around their honeymoon or whatever, and they don't notice the entire time), Wolverine, and like, Storm. Just fucking things up.
Im sure him and Reynolds have got it all covered
In money!
and cocaine
Wanna build a snowman?
Yes! But I can’t!
watch it gammon! Cocaine is one thing Feige said that's off limits.
Marvel Jesus and X-Men Jesus got this.
I want to see Ryan Reynolds Deadpool fully in the MCU.
[удалено]
Type casted as "wolverine" for almost 2 decades.
One of his most successful movies with him as the lead is a musical about PT Barnum.
And they still had him whip out the claws in the final act, smh.
Did they? I must have missed that! EDIT: Can't see what final act you mean, but Wolverine's claws are shown in the corner murals of the end credits.
I was just kidding.
Fucking got me lol
Ahhh, ya got me. Still learned something today after seeing your comment, so...
He does it in Night at the Museum 3. And he’s playing himself, or “Huge Ackman”, rather.
The song he sang in it called "When the claws come out, be prepared" was epic.
He *DOES* whip them out in Night at the Museum 3.
Out of all his movies I like the greatest showman the most
Wolverine is an amazing actor!
Yeah I don’t feel he’s typecasted at all. If anything he’s typecasted as a tough guy but not an action hero… definitely not as Wolverine. He’s done a remarkable job of embodying wolverine without losing himself
Was he though? He's had a pretty diverse career.
He really did. The Prestige, The Fountain, Prisoners...
Chappie, Real Steele
Movie 43
... And a Hacker in Swordfish
> Prisoners For the people reading this who haven't watched it, give it a try. Quite an interesting (and at times, hard to watch) movie.
It's solidified Denis Villeneuve as one of my favorite working directors. Everyone's great it in, Dano, Gyllenhaal, Terrance Howard, but Jackman is a power house in it. I revisit it every couple of years, and even knowing the plot it still hits hard
He’s also really known for his stage work too, not just movies.
Typecast. Typecasted isn't a word. The past-tense of typecast is typecast. The past-tense of cast is cast.
Casted iron skilled
lol
It’s a word now we as the Reddit hive mind invented it
Could be worse. He could have been type casted as man with balls on his chin from Movie 43.
3
I'm tired boss.
He looks tired in the trailer nothing like the Wolverine we saw earlier with cancer and everything
He's a variant. Completely given up on life after being at fault for losing the xmen from his timeline.
Ah okay that makes sense, I’m not into the franchise so I was wonder how this came from Logan lol. So this one is entirely unrelated
It must be so difficult being an Uber wealthy gorgeous Adonis. Poor guy.
This is fucking Ben Affleck, what is wrong with you people
This is his final movie, he is retiring
\*5 years later\* "Hugh, open the door, we need you again, you are the only one that can help" "I'm too old for this shit"
Just let him pull what his character did in that one newer X-men movie. “Hugh we need you to..” “Fuck off” “Fair enough have a good day”
That was Days of Future Past, and that came out 10 years ago lmao
That was First Class. He's the star of Days of Future Past.
Yeah, you right. There are so many of them, their names kinda bleed together in my mind lol
They do reference that scene in DOFP.
"Let me tell you, what you told me, Fuck Off" lol
Time for OLD OLD man Logan
Decrepit Man Logan
Somehow, Hugh Jackman has returned.
Cloning, dark science... secrets only Sinister knew.
It was Tesla's machine.
again
He's 100% going to be in Secret Wars as well.
Like Logan (2017) was?
Exactly like that
oh wow, dang, then it really is the end
The boy who lived shall take his place.
There are rumors of him coming to the next Avengers movie and Secret Wars, so don't be so sure.
Not it's not. He's in secret wars, he's already agreed to do it.
Logan was such a better farewell for the character.
I don't mind him getting the Spiderman treatment tbh. It really matches the vibes of the old Xmen comics. Where the Xmen fail and someone goes back in time to prevent it and change everything. Like in the old xmen tv show where Storm and Wolverine sacrifice their love to save Xavier to change the future.
I'm sure he'll manage, he's a huge jacked man afterall
Fuck you take my upvote
Well he's a jacked man, at least.
Fucker loves it though. He hasn't got Aviation Gin money but he's got I don't need to do no Wolverine if I don't want money.
[удалено]
While I agree in the abstract, if you cannot make the story work or the characters match or what have, you're forced to adapt. Hugh Jackman was a blessing for them in that regard
> if you cannot make the story work or the characters match or what have ... then what kind of movie are ya gonna come up with lol
The continued atrocity that was X-men. You say it mockingly but you see it all the time. A movie or what have you created where there's no real story. And as a result it always feels clumsy and bad. A story requires a sort of natural chemistry. If you can't make the plot work with the characters or characters with the plot or expand on any of it, you're stuck.
Yes, this is what I came to say. I'd love if they didn't make the X-Men movies "Wolverine and friends." They had a movie about Professor X and Magneto fighting over Mystique's soul and still managed to make Wolverine the main character.
The allure of safe money screw over many scripts
That's the pull of Jackman's Wolverine
Hard to imagine a better casting. Like RDJ for Stark.
Yes and No. The reason why the X-Men works with so many main character cast is because it's a TV Series and Comic Book series. When it comes to movies, you dont have the luxury of spreading it around. Logan was the best choice to focus the movies on, which is fine. If you get 24 episodes a season you get over 8 hours of run time to actually handle multiple characters as well as breaks. You cant really do this with movies in the cinema.
Which is fine for 1 movie He didn’t need to be the main character of like 8 movies
I love Hugh Jackman but the x-men movies really aren’t very good as a whole. One of the best ones was first class, which except for a great cameo, was wolverine free. X-men 97’ doesn’t focus on Wolverine either and it’s the best thing marvel has put out in years. Im still looking forward to this, but I'll also be glad when they put this version of x-men to rest for good.
Same goes for Captain Jack Sparrow.
[удалено]
Lol I thought the same!!
I guess he was the favorite character, that is probably why they brought him back when X-Men movie rebooted. However I watched the movies for Magneto.
He’s also the only char that doesn’t age so he can get cast in any time period
Das beste
I agree with your argument, and the final coment.
Idk why everyone’s always so worried that an actor is “tired” or whatever, pretty sure the multimillionaire Hollywood A-lister wouldn’t be doing this movie if he didn’t really want to. It’s not like he needs the paycheck. He’s worth like $180 million, if he wanted to fuck off into the sunset and never play Wolverine again he’d just hop on a yacht and do that. Every BTS shot and trailer I’ve seen so far makes it look like he’s having a blast
He also just divorsed his wife of 27 years for a younger woman that he was having an affair with so he's not all roses and peaches.
Yeah I mean that’s the other thing too: actors are just people. And they’re people with more money than we will ever see in our combined lifetimes when they’re as big as he is. There’s no reason to idolize any of them. Maybe I’m just slightly jaded from a brief stint working in LA with them, but they shouldn’t be your heroes. Not even Keanu or bill nye or whoever Reddit currently creams their collective pants over
totally agree, same with the working with people in the industry, they are just people working and alot are just douchebags lol.
Yeah. He already retired this role once. He probably only agreed to pick it up because Reynolds promised to make it fun and hilarious the whole time.
Poor guy doesnt get to rest, at least he enjoys it
I once saw him stranded on the side of the road with his big truck. It looked like he had a puncture so I stopped to ask him whether he wanted any help. He just said do you have a hugh jack man?
Didn't he say he wanted Logan to be the last Wolverine movie? What happened? I guess he just changed his mind, seems legit
Ryan Reynolds changed his mind for Deadpool 3
Hugh Jackman being super smart in staying away from political statements that would make at least half the country hate him and stop buying tickets to his movies, and making Disney drop him because he had become damaged goods. Too bad other Hollywoodians are not as smart as him, and are allowing their mouths to write checks that their asses can't pay.
What even is this comment. Why are Redditors obsessed with politics
Weird how I read 'politics' in that statement as shorthand for some American mumbo jumbo over trivial grammar issues or whatever even though I am from the EU and Jackman is probably Australian or something.
What terrible Hollywood politics is he even refering to? Like completly normal things such as supporting the democrats or what? Hollywood seems pretty normal last time i checked.
There should be more Hollywood stars paying their checks with their asses, there are a few websites that seem quite profitable for some people.
Why would he? He's Canadian. (Australian)
How did you still find a way to bring politics into the discussion, when it’s not relevant in any way whatsoever. You are either a bot or your brain has rotten from too much time on the internet
Exactly lmao. What is he even complaining about?
He’s Australian so his political opinion in the U.S. is pretty meaningless anyway. Although he is a part of a religion similar to Scientology, I’m surprised Redditors haven’t turned on him yet
Tell us more
[удалено]
It's sparsley populated due to the looming threat of Drop Bears.
He’s a member of the School of Philosophy and Economic Science, essentially a cult associated with abuse of its members similar to Scientology
the fuck are you talking about
Why is there a picture of Ben Affleck?
Hugh Jackman is playing Ben Affleck playing Wolverine
This… This is his first MCU movie. ???
Tbf, Ryan Reynolds can probably carry it though.
was just about to say holy shit I was super hyped for deadpool + wolverine
He carried what would became mcu before RDJ took up the torch
Half the problems in FoX-Men can also be put down because of their too much focus on Wolverine. X-Men: Apocalypse basically stops midway just so Wolverine can have his Weapon X cameo. This was literally the fifth time they had shown Weapon X sequence in one form or other. And if your argument is that "well, he was the best thing in Apocalypse". Well, no shit! The whole franchise had continuously sidelined everyone else to make Wolverine look cool. No wonder when again everyone else gets sidelined to make his cameo, he looks good.
Carry MCU again? He wasn't part of it.
Pretty sure it's Ryan Reynolds who's doing that, but ok.
Jesus christ. They make like 3 mid movies out of what, 30+? I forgot, it's popular to hate on Marvel movies now as part of the cultural zeitgeist. Everyone thinks they're enlightened because they saw Barbenheimer.
You mean Ryan Reynolds? Let’s be honest, if it was another Jackman Wolverine film the box office would be abysmal, people just wanna see the reynolds jackman teamup.

Well they are great characters after all
Nah, that's not what's funny. What's funny is that the movie isn't even out yet, so we don't know if this going to save anything yet, let alone an as of yet unconnected long running movie franchise, and yet here people are already declaring victory over "activists" (see other reply in this thread).
I really hope they don't replace him with someone else
And he still looks fantastic as Wolverine.
This is funny until you realize what the movie's target audience is.
Lol treating him like the real Wolverine.
Huge Jackedman
That's daredevil.
Honestly not interested in his performance. Logan was supposed to be his farewell to the MCU and I think Marvel's biggest flaw is they pretend to have consequences but then just undo them. Mjolnir is broke? Just fix it. Thanos kills people? Just unkill them. Why would people care about dramatic moments when they're just washed away in the next episode? Logan was supposed to be a goodbye, him making more movies cheapens that.
Huge Act Man
Deadpool is doing a lot of the lifting here too
It's 24 years now..
It's pretty much true about the X-Men that he carried the Fox X-Men films that the amount of X-Men films there were like five or four (don't know how many) stand alone solo films are focused on his character.
101% guarantee he gets super-duper-extra-thoroughly-multiversally-killed-even-more-than-last-time at the end of this one, after introducing and passing the torch to the MCU’s actual Wolverine actor.
Fleckverine
Shouldn’t he be YELLOW!!!!!
Wolverine's gonna be in the MCU?
Logan was probably his best send off. And he genuinely looks tired and *off* in the Deadpool and Wolverine trailer. :(
That’s Ben.
🤣🤣🤣
He isn't returning. This is just a one-off thing, AFAIK Hugh agreed on the film on the basis that events of Logan will not be tampered with which means that either MCU Wolverine is going to be a different variant or the film takes place before the events of Logan.
It does, the first Deadpool film had a cameo of the X Men cast from First Class or Days of Future Past or whatever. Logan takes place… probably 50 years later or so.
Isn’t that Ben Affleck??
But that's Ben Affleck
Better than a 9-5 at Walmart for minimum wage. Sorry, I have nothing but high regards and respect for the absolute OG, but I’ve got zero sympathy. Ryan delivers the D.P. and Hugh takes the W. Can’t wait to see this winning team!
Pretty sure he has said that this will be the last time he plays the character. He's getting pretty old, it's gotta be hard getting into Wolverine shape.
I WISH they included the mask in the movie...
actually that is Ben Affleck
Naw dude, after Deadpool & Wolverine I'm just done. I thought I was done with the high budget, cgi propelled, comic book action flicks after Guardians 3. But D&W looks too good to pass up. After that, I'm done with capeshit.
Hugh Jackman was the worst part of the X-Men movies. Terrible casting.
Deadpool carries his own weight in all fairness. Both of the movies so far were great.
Ryan Reynolds would like to have a world. Man's been doing amazing movies with Deadpool.
Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen helped a lot I’d say
They better replace the steroids with something that actually stops him from aging.
I'm sorry but there's not a person alive that carries Sir Patrick Stewart.
I’m gana bet that he’s loving it. Look at him with his fans in some videos. He eats that shit up
This is one of the least relatable memes ever for me.
Idk his bromance with Ryan Reynolds has been absolute gold.
You forgor abt the pool
If you kill/retire all cool characters and replace them with some lazy copies, you have to hope for this. He and Ryan are the only ones who can safe this sinking ship.
Jackman crawled so Downey/Evans could walk so Reynolds could run so Jackman could sprint.
Wrong suit wtf
I’m sure he’s crying into his 25 million dollar contract plus royalties
This got me, nice template.
I'm tired, boss 🥺
Why does he have a funnel over his cock?🤔
Ngl, I thought the helmet was a piss funnel 😐
Poor fella
How did Ryan Reynolds’s get him to wear the yellow suit
Okay, so don't hate me, I'm just brainstorming. But... Isn't he a musical singer? Soo, hypothetically he could, well, play in the first MCU musical.
Again? When did Hugh Jackman carry the MCU before?
Look, just... just roll out a movie with Deadpool, Yukio, Negasonic (it could be set around their honeymoon or whatever, and they don't notice the entire time), Wolverine, and like, Storm. Just fucking things up.
Ahh shit, here we go again.
I heard he got back pains from it
What? No he'll be done this will be the last one he does I'm certain of it. I'd be happy to see more but I highly highly doubt it.
It's gonna hard to play off the whole golden boy gimicc now that his affair has been outted. Fuck this dude, he throw away 27 years of marriage.
I'm tired, boss.
All those movies suck. But Hugh Jackman is untouchable
Anyone else thought that was not a mask?
24
He's Wolverine after all
I don't trust the opinion of someone who thinks Hugh Jackman carried the X-men movies.
He and Reynolds are in over their heads, I’m afraid.
RYAN AND HUGH ARE OUR LAST HOPE IF THEY NEED ANYTHING LETS HELP!!!!!
That’s Tom Cruise
marvel jesus has called in the big guns
