If anyone knows the genius of the comics' industry, it’s Hugh Jackman. The Australian actor has spent the better part of 25 years playing Wolverine, after all. While the X-Men movies definitely differ from the comics, Jackman is well-read enough to know who the titans of the industry are and what makes them invaluable. So honestly, it was only a matter of time before Jackman identified his own favorite comics' creator. 1a4d6h

<![CDATA[Why Hugh Jackman's Robin Hood Movie Still Has Me Hopeful 1p267 Despite 2 Failed Adaptations In 15 Years]]>/robin-hood-hugh-jackman-movie-hopeful-failed-adaptations-op-ed/<![CDATA[Cathal Gunning]]><![CDATA[Classic Movies]]><![CDATA[The Death of Robin Hood]]><![CDATA[Hugh Jackman]]><![CDATA[ The news that Hugh Jackman will star in The Death of Robin Hood is exciting despite the failure of two blockbuster Robin Hood movies since 2010. ]]><![CDATA[

The failure of not one, but two big-budget Robin Hood movies should make me worried about Hugh Jackman’s retelling, but The Death Of Robin Hoodsounds too intriguing for me to discount the movie just yet. Robin Hood is arguably one of the most perennially popular folk heroes in history. An outlaw who stole from the rich to give to the poor, Robin Hood is the sort of charismatic antihero that almost any director could turn into a roguish protagonist.

<![CDATA[Hugh Jackman’s 3 Minute Long Performance As Superman Is Still One Of The Weirdest Things I’ve Ever Seen 24 Years Later]] 2p5y6m /hugh-jackman-superman-performance-snl-2001-op-ed/<![CDATA[Zoe Miskelly]]><![CDATA[Superheroes]]><![CDATA[Hugh Jackman]]><![CDATA[Superman]]><![CDATA[DC Universe]]><![CDATA[ 24 years down the line, Hugh Jackman's brief appearance as one of DC's biggest heroes of all time is still just as delightfully bizarre. ]]><![CDATA[

Hugh Jackman's very brief appearance as DC's Superman has only gotten weirder in the 24 years since it first took place, and I'm oddly glad it remains a wonderfully weird part of the hero and actor's respective histories. The list of live-action Superman actors is a decidedly long one, with the Man of Steel being one of the most popular superheroes in of getting adaptations for decades at this point in time. However, for a range of reasons, the list of people who've played the Kryptonian hero is much longer than simply those we've seen putting on the cape and costume in DC movies or shows.

Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine is legendary, but certain scenes from his Marvel movie history have not aged well. Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine became the central figure in the X-Men franchise. Wolverine's journey spanned multiple films, both in ensemble X-Men movies and his solo adventures, allowing Jackman to portray a character of immense depth and complexity. However, not every moment of his time as Wolverine holds up to modern scrutiny. Some scenes, which were once considered iconic, now feel outdated or inconsistent.

Deadpool & Wolverine co-stars Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman may be reuniting soon in a new project. Although both stars are known for a wide variety of roles, including Jackman's Oscar-nominated turn as Jean Valjean in 2012's Les Misérables and Reynolds' roles in comedies like The Proposal, both play iconic Marvel characters on the big screen. The former has played Wolverine in the X-Men franchise since he debuted the character in 2000 while the latter has played Deadpool in what is now a trilogy of movies featuring the foul-mouthed mercenary beginning in 2016.

After the wild success of Deadpool & Wolverine, Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, and director Shawn Levy are reuniting for another, non-superhero project, but it must overcome the inevitable problem caused by Deadpool & Wolverine. After teaming up in the action comedy Free Guy in 2021, Shawn Levy and Ryan Reynolds worked together again the following year in the sci-fi comedy The Adam Project before their debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Deadpool & Wolverine. To make the latter more exciting, it also reunited Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, bringing Wolverine back for one more adventure.

The return of Hugh Jackman as Logan in Deadpool & Wolverine is a great reminder to watch his underrated 2011 sci-fi film from the same director, Shawn Levy. Hugh Jackman's performance as Wolverine was one of many highlights of Ryan Reynold's Deadpool's third outing, with Jackman juggling almost every Wolverine variant alongside of his titular role. With the film's box office score breaking several records, it would be no surprise if Hugh Jackman was asked to continue his run as Wolverine, though the future of this iconic partnership is still uncertain.

While The Prestige isn’t always listed among Hugh Jackman’s best movies, the underrated thriller proves that we need the star to take on more villain roles. There are few actors who I associate with heroic roles as much as Hugh Jackman. Jackman’s performances as Wolverine cemented his status as a legendary screen superhero, but there are plenty of other roles that reinforce his heroic screen persona. His charismatic portrayal of P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman, his put-upon Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, and the sweet rom-com heroes of Paperback Hero and Kate & Leopold all prove Jackman’s heroic bonafides.
