Hugh Jackman Didn't Know What A Wolverine Was Before X-Men

Hugh Jackman Didn't Know What A Wolverine Was Before X-Men

Few comic book characters have greater public awareness than Wolverine, and that's in no small part due to Hugh Jackman's performance as the character for nearly two decades of X-Men films. Yet when he first signed on to the role, Hugh Jackman himself didn't know who Wolverine was. More than that, he didn't know that the character's name was derived from a real animal, as he explained:

Embarrassingly, I didn't know what a wolverine was. I had never heard of such an animal and I presumed it was a made-up name for the comic book. I'd never read an X-Men comic, I'd never seen one in our zoos. We've got a lot of really crazy animals in our zoos in Australia. So I presumed it was a wolf and I did study wolves. I watched some documentaries, there was a big IMAX movie at the time, I went twice to go and see it.

Hugh Jackman hails from Australia, a land of fascinating species where everything that walks, swims, flies and crawls can kill you. However Australia is not home to the ferocious and fearless wolverine, which primarily resides in cold, northern regions. Therefore the actor didn't know that there was such an animal and he didn't bother to ask, instead playing the tricky game of assuming.

During his time as Wolverine, we have heard a lot about Hugh Jackman's intense workouts and restrictive diets, but for the first X-Men movie, he was just trying to take a method approach to his character. He assumed that a wolverine was a comic-fied version of a wolf, so that's where he focused his research, telling Stephen Colbert on The Late Show that he studied wolves and watched documentaries on them to prepare for the role.

Hugh Jackman took all that wolf research and used it to inform his performance, at least before someone gave him a quick zoology lesson, as he recalled:

So, I turned up on set for a fight rehearsal and I was just incorporating some of that, you know, wolves always have their nose to the ground. They're always looking through their eyes and always smelling you. And the director goes, 'What are you doing, man?' And I said, 'I was thinking, you know, I would do some work on the wolves.' And the director goes, 'Wolves?' Why wolves? You're playing a wolverine.' And I go, 'Well, that's not an animal.' And he goes, 'Yeah, it is. Go to the zoo.'

Maybe reading the comic books or watching the animated series would have been better research because that is embarrassing. This must have been so strange for everyone on set, watching Hugh Jackman basically imitating a wolf. Hopefully there is footage of that somewhere. Fortunately, director Bryan Singer saved him from further embarrassment, letting him know that all the time he spent watching wolf documentaries was for naught.

While a little embarrassing, I've got to think it wasn't all bad though. After all, how often do you learn about a new animal? And through his research, Hugh Jackman did get to learn a lot about wolves, and wolves are awesome.

It is so funny to hear how Hugh Jackman's time as Wolverine started with a scene that sounds like it belongs in a cringe comedy series. This story is especially ironic to hear in light of Hugh Jackman's history as the character. Fans doubted he was right for the role in the beginning, and if he continued the wolf impersonation he might have proved them right. But now it is incredibly difficult to imagine anyone else as Wolverine given how brilliantly he defined the character onscreen, not to mention how that first X-Men birthed the modern superhero movie age.

You can next see Hugh Jackman as a political animal in Jason Reitman's biopic The Front Runner. For all of this holiday's biggest blockbusters and most buzzed about awards contenders, check out our Holiday Movie Guide.

Deadpool 2 Might Have Just Confirmed An Unexpected Mutant Character

Deadpool 2 Might Have Just Confirmed An Unexpected Mutant Character

We're a month out from Deadpool 2 finally hitting theaters, and while there's been no shortage of Deadpool comic book material to enjoy since the first movie made a splash, it'll be nice to reunite with Ryan Reynolds' version of the Merc with the Mouth. As we learned last month with the latest trailer, Deadpool 2 will revolve around Wade Wilson and the totally-not-derivative X-Force working to protect a mutant kid from the time-traveling Cable. Until now, that kid, played by Hunt for the Wilderpeople's Julian Dennison, hasn't been identified, but last night, a trio of Deadpool 2 TV spots aired during new episodes of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead, and we may have finally learned who the character is thanks to one simple name: Russell.

The name Russell by itself doesn't help much, but when looking up any characters from Marvel Comics with that name, as well as taking into account that Deadpool 2's Russell can generate fire, it looks as though the movie is featuring a version of Russell Collins, who is also pyrokinetic. Introduced in 1986's X-Factor #1, Russell Collins mutant ability emerged while he was serving in the Navy, and although the military police quickly apprehended him, he was rescued by the X-Factor. Along with serving on that team of mutant superheroes, Russell was also a member of the X-Terminators and New Mutants, but he was later brainwashed by the Mutant Liberation Front. Eventually he was freed from that brainwashing by Magneto and joined the Master of Magnetism's Acolytes in gratitude, but soon after he was killed by Holocaust, a mutant villain from the Age of Apocalypse reality.

If Julian Dennison is indeed playing Russell Collins outside of Deadpool 2, then obviously this would be a loose adaptation of the character, with his name and powers potentially being the only similarities. That said, this still doesn't explain just why Dennison's Russell is so important from the movie. Here's what we know about him so far: he's pyrokinetic, he seems to have been held in a mutant prison/detention center (judging by the collar around his neck), Cable wants to kill him and he will not hesitate to flip you the bird. Given that like his comic book counterpart, Josh Brolin's Cable hails from an apocalyptic future, presumably he believes that by killing Russell, somehow that future won't come to pass. Why he believes that remains to be seen.

Of course, both Russell and Cable are just a few of the many characters making up Deadpool 2's cast. Along with Ryan Reynolds and most of the cast from the first Deadpool movie reprising their respective roles, the sequel's new players include Zazie Beetz's Domino, Jack Kesy's Black Tom Cassidy, Terry Crews' Bedlam, Lewis Tan's Shatterstar and Rob Delaney's Peter, along with Shioli Kutsana, Eddie Marsan and Bill Skarsgard in officially undisclosed roles.

Deadpool 2 hits theaters on May 18. To learn what other major motion pictures are coming out this year, look through our 2018 release schedule.

Sam Raimi Didn't Actually Want Stan Lee To Cameo In Spider-Man

Sam Raimi Didn't Actually Want Stan Lee To Cameo In Spider-Man

It's been two days since Marvel Comics' legend Stan Lee passed away, and along with many fans still paying tribute to the creator, those who knew him personally have also been sharing anecdotes of their experiences with the man. Take Sam Raimi, director of 2002's Spider-Man. At that time, Lee wasn't known as the Cameo King yet, so when Raimi was asked to include Lee in the Web-Slinger's first movie, he wasn't on board with that. As Raimi recalled:

I got the job for Spider-Man in 1999. And [Marvel head] Avi Arad said, 'I want you to put Stan in the movie.' And I was like, 'No. I know Stan, and he can't act.' And Avi was, 'I want him in the movie. We did it for X-Men, we're doing it here.' Now imagine you're a minor director in England doing Macbeth and you're told, 'Put the writer in the play.' It sounds absurd. 'Fine, you want Shakespeare in the play, I'll put Shakespeare in the play.' Now it's one of my favorite parts in the movie.

As Sam Raimi told THR beforehand, he had already met Stan Lee prior to working on Spider-Man. After Raimi's Darkman came out, Lee called the director and told him he liked the movie. The two later met for lunch, and Lee told Raimi he wanted to work with him on a Thor movie. The men wrote some treatments and pitched to 20th Century Fox, but because this was 1991, a decade before the superhero movie genre would really take off, the studio wasn't interested in the project. But in the time Raimi got to spend with Lee, he figured that the comic book writer, editor and publisher just didn't have the acting chops.

However, due to pressure from producer Avi Arad, Sam Raimi had to include Stan Lee in Spider-Man anyway, and it ultimately worked out for both Raimi and audiences. Lee briefly appears in the movie to pull a child out of danger's way, as you can see below.

Sam Raimi ended up bringing back Stan Lee for Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 as well, the former seeing Lee saving another civilian and the latter seeing him talk with Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker. Lee would later be brought back for cameos in The Amazing Spider-Man, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man: Homecoming, just some of the many Marvel movies he appeared in.

It's worth noting that even before Spider-Man, Stan Lee already had some cameos under his belt, not including X-Men, where he was one of the bystanders on the beach who saw Senator Kelly emerge from the water naked. His first on-screen Marvel-related cameo was in the 1989 TV movie The Trial of the Incredible Hulk, and outside the Marvel sphere, he had a minor, yet important role in Kevin Smith's Mallrats.

Along with being a critical and commercial hit, Spider-Man was one of the first movies to popularize cinematic superheroes in the modern era. So without his appearances there and in X-Men, it's unlikely Lee's cameo resume would have been nearly as extensive as it ended up being. Although Lee has passed, he has several posthumous cameos coming up, including Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Avengers 4.
