Hugh Jackman to skip out on ‘Wolverine’?

 

I sure hope not.  Jackman is set to star in an X-Men prequel next year.  Jackman, as you know, has played Wolverine in all three X-Men films.  Please read on for more.

If audiences don’t go for next year’s “X-Men” prequel he’ll gladly walk away from the series and forget all about the sequel he’s already developing in his noggin.

”If it’s clear to us on May second or third that that’s gone, then I’ll walk away happily”, Jackman says of the audience appeal in the character. ”I’m not going to flog something – or flog a dead horse, or try and make movies that people don’t really want to go and see. I have no interest in that. Even no matter how much I love the character. So there are many prerequisites”.

And although he’d personally like to do a sequel, he’s not going to do it just for the hell of it.

“There’s a few story lines that are running my head which I think would be really cool, but unless the script is right, then I just don’t see the point in doing it. I’m probably at the point in my career where I don’t need it. And the last thing I want to do is just to push it on people, if it doesn’t warrant a full feature movie.”

I really do hope that this Wolverine flick delivers.  I would LOVE to see more Wolverine, he is one of the most BAD ASS characters that Marvel has to offer.  If Jackman does walk away, I hope they don’t bring on someone else to play the roll(though I am sure they will).  We will just have to cross our fingers and hope that they do it right.  I do commend Jackman for stating he would walk away if this tanked, rather than prolong it for a few extra bucks.
