Hugh Jackman started playing Wolverine nearly 25 years ago, and he is still projected to win awards for the role in 2025. In fact, he is widely considered to be one of the first amazing casting decisions for a Marvel hero.
Knowing that, you’ll be shocked to learn that he very nearly wasn’t cast in the role!
The actor emerged as a fan-favorite star in the franchise for his portrayal of the clawed hero in 2000′s X-Men. Since then, Hugh has saved the day in so many movies over the years.
