Now we can consider it X-Menas a film, it is more than outdated, but the truth is that at its premiere it was a real revolution and an unprecedented box office success. Hugh Jackman, like Wolverine, began to receive dozens of offers from various Hollywood studios. But there was a problem: they were always action movies. “I didn’t want to always do the same”Jackman says. “You know, reprising the action star role – that, that archetype was the bread and butter of many American films. A group of heroic kids in difficult situations. And I stayed: ‘Uh oh look, this is a problem’“, commented the Australian.
It was then that the producers of James Bond approached him about becoming the secret agent in the upcoming Casino Royale, an offer he didn’t like one bit and when he had to sign on for several films and further reduce his free time. “I looked at the offer and thought: “If I do this and Wolverine, I won’t have time to do anything else.” It’s clear that I’m more interested in playing people who go out of line,” she commented. In this way, The bond makers signed Daniel Craigwho has become the franchise’s most beloved agent, equaling Sean Connery.
Jackman has diversified his career, with films like The Last Trick and Les Miserables, which elevated it even more. The 007 hour saga seeks a new course with a new actor after Craig’s farewell There is no time to die.
