Jackman Not Yet Locked Into X3
May. 10th, 2004 12:12 amFrom the Comics Continuum's report from the Van Helsing junket:
Hugh Jackman, who played Wolverine in the first two X-Men movies, said he isn't locked into an X3 yet. "I don't want to sound ungrateful, but first of all, I don't know what the script's going to be like. I don't know what it will be like," Jackman said at the recent press junket for Van Helsing, which opens Friday."But I would find it very, very hard to watch someone else play the role of Wolverine, you know. But, you know, I've had a really great go of it for two movies, so you never know. They may want to move it in different directions, so we'll see what happens in it." Jackman said a third X-Men film doesn't feel gratuitous.
"I can see there being complete validity in doing X-Men 3, if not more," he said. "I mean, I think it (X2) cemented what was a really interesting world."
