I did nine movies but a couple of those were like cameo ish sort of things so
really seven movies and I learnt so much like over those years
I remember cast Wolverine they'd already started filming I was cast three
weeks into filming I think well I started the three weeks in but they'd
already started when I had my audition they were filming that day and I did a
screen test it so I turned up and you can actually go back there's a couple of
split screen shots going around the internet that's showed the difference
and the first day on film I had to have my shirt off and Bryan Singer didn't
tell me of you the time but later he said I I could only shoot you from here
up and have the camera I remember thinking comic books I never read the
comic book before so I'm looking at the comic so I how long do I have to get
ready for this and they said well shooting at three weeks I remember
thinking oh three weeks I never buffed up for anything really I was like I
think three weeks you can get buff I guess if I go and hit it hard so I went
to the gym. No the scene that introduces my character they moved to the
end so it took me six months that's what and then of course by the time I finish
Logan I was almost 50 where it takes even longer so I just learn what it
takes and and for me in some ways a difficult physical regime is okay
because I don't mind hard work to take seriously I feel so blessed to have the
part and I'm taking on a character that's so beloved to so many I'll commit
to that every day of the week I'll give 110%. I find the hard bit
of our job is okay the last scene of Logan for example where my character's
dying and I have I think one of the most beautiful lines written for the
character which is, so this is how it feels which is a dual
thing about family and about dying right I'd suppose in a way the most intriguing
and the more I do it the more sometimes frustrating but actually enticing and
but the physical side of it I think I was okay with yeah there was so many
crossovers by the end because I think I'd played it for so long I'd had the
germ or the idea I knew it was gonna be my last one way before we wrote it I
just made that decision so there was a weight of expectation you know that I'd
been carrying and I'd hadn't felt maybe for 15 years that Logan or that
film was there in their character I wasn't sure if the studio would allow it
or if the world would want to see it, but I felt that that was doing that
character justice so basically I'm saying as I was super invested and I
felt so in it and again I was working with a director that I worked with three
times before who I trust implicitly Jim Mangold and I remember when we shot that
scene thunderstorms going off everywhere and we had just shut down and so he just
said we can't do this big stunt scene let's go over and do that but we're just
gonna do the death scene I'm like wait now you could just do that I'm like all
right okay and so we shot Daphne and she turn
around on me and he said to me he did one of those and he goes let's keep goin'
let's do another I said you sure I feel okay and he goes man let's
just stop the clocks let's not worry about everything this is the end of 19
years sit in it for half an hour and he rolled the
cameras. Him and just allowing me that moment to remember that moment but
I'll never forget it it's like he allowed me to exhale and take off all
expectation or worry of time and anyway that moment he was one of the greatest
gifts. There was some takes where I was weeping and he goes yeah we're not
gonna use that but good for you
He was glad, it was like I went through a whole thing!
Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie this is going to
be my new Marvel Wolverine video I'll talk about Hugh Jackman's Wolverine
Marvel movies that I'll talk about what's going on with new x-men and
Wolverine stuff in the MCU so if you're new to the channel be sure to subscribe
to get all the videos we'll do an Amazon giveaway all you have to do to enter is
be a subscriber and let me know which movie you want to see them introduce the
new MCU Wolverine in during Marvel phase 5 which is starting with number 5 if you
don't know what's going on here in this clip Hugh Jackman is breaking down all
the Wolverine movies is part of this variety series where actors
interview each other so he's just talking about his time as Wolverine he
always tells the best stories about playing the character little tidbits
Easter eggs from behind the scenes especially going back to the original
x-men films one of the funnier stories that he doesn't get into too much during
this clip too is when he talks about reading comic books on the set of that
original x-men movie but one of the most bizarre stories behind the scenes as
that original x-men film is that Bryan Singer banned comic books from the set
he didn't want to have anything to do with the x-men or the Wolverine comics
on those original x-men films that's one of the reasons why they didn't do the
comic book accurate costumes in his movies but on the set of that first film
because Bryan Singer had banned comic books Kevin Feige actually said that he
had to smuggle comic books to Hugh Jackman in his trailer Kevin Feige was
working at Fox when they were making those original films that's how he
became a producer on those he didn't start running Marvel Studios till later
Feige said that there were a lot of times when they would have problems on
those original Marvel movies not just the x-men movies and they'd sit in a
room with the producers trying to figure stuff out and he would tell them just do
what's in the comics and usually no one would listen to him but number four the
stuff with the Logan movie and filming his death scenes that he talks about is
great what he means when he talks about James Mangold the director giving him
all these gifts during the process is mostly the gift of time because when
they were filming that at the time they assumed that it would be the last scene
of Hugh Jackman playing The Wolverine character ever assuming that something
doesn't happen in the future to bring him back to the Wolverine character they
were assuming that this was going to be it it's no big surprise hearing him talk
about the physicality of the role he was such a badass for so many years staying
that big but one of the reasons for him wanting to leave the Wolverine character
in addition to just doing this amazing book end story is because of the toll
that all that abuse took on his body over the years it gets harder and harder
the older you get to stay that big for that long but if you're a big fan of
that stuff Hugh Jackman has posted a ton of his Wolverine workout videos Chris
Hemsworth does the same thing to when he's getting ready for Marvel movies
number three as for a new bull Vereen in the MCU Hugh Jackman's most recent
comments are still mostly it he doesn't plan on coming back in Marvel will go
with a totally new actor and he's given his blessing to that he doesn't mind he
knows that they're going to caste there are a ton of Wolverine
Easter eggs in the MCU going back to the Marvel phase one movies and movies where
Kevin Feige said that he wanted to put x-men characters and Wolverine cameos
but at the time they just couldn't get a crossover deal with Fox they couldn't
get him to say yes so now they just wind up being cool Wolverine x-men Easter
eggs that they can reference in some of the upcoming Marvel phase four movies
and TV shows the next big Wolverine related Easter Egg that we'll get to see
is the weapons Plus program through Thunderbolt Ross the Hulk storyline in
the Falcon and Winter Soldier episodes this fall they have enlisted an official
release date for that yet but if you chart the timeline of when everything is
supposed to come later this year they had to get Falcon and Winter
Soldier episodes out by September in order for one division to be able to
premiere in December like they said that it would the link back to Wolverine with
that is that Thunderbolt Ross dusted off the weapons Plus program inside the Hulk
movie and used it to create the abomination who's still in the MCU he's
rotting in prison on the raft right now but Wolverine is called Weapon X because
he's the 10th iteration of the weapons Plus program the X stands for Roman
numeral 10 so even though Kevin Feige wasn't able to get his Hugh Jackman
Wolverine cameo back in the day he can still pay it off when they introduced a
new version of Wolverine during Marvel phase 5 number 2 as for other mutants
and x-men characters yes they've changed scarlet witch's comic book backstory a
lot the last 10 to 15 years but she was a mutant from the x-men comics we're
going tosee her go full Scarlet Witch from the comics in the Wandavision series /
Kevin Feige and it's the prequel to Doctor Strange
to multiverse of madness the multiverse is Marvel's next big story device
they're using the way that they use the Infinity stones for the story of the
early infinity saga movies then there's her twin children they're mutants in the
comics because they're born with powers it's implied during the Wandavision
trailer that they're also born with powers
that's the qualification for being a mutant you have to be born with powers
the number one as for a new Wolverine movie Mark Ruffalo of all people has
actually been pitching Kevin Feige on doing new Hulk projects both new Hulk
movies and an Incredible Hulk Disney Plus series as part of that he said that
he wants to do a version of The Wolverine character because Wolverine
appeared for the first time in the Incredible Hulk comics now I doubt that
Marvel would want to introduce a new Wolverine for the first time in a Disney
Plus series but we'll probably see him in someone else's new Marvel
phase five movie first like Black Panther or spider-man appearing during
Captain America Civil War before they get their solo movie Marvel still
doesn't have the rights to do a hulk solo movie though so it's kind of a
problem but they do have the rights to do hulk TV shows which is where the
incredible hulk disney plus series comes in they haven't confirmed that they're
doing that Mark Ruffalo said that he's just working with Kevin Feige to come up
with what the hoax storyline will be during Marvel phase four and Marvel
phase five everyone let me know in the comments though where do you want them
to introduce the new version of Wolverine in the MCU which movie
