Trivia

  • Jackman later redacted this statement, claiming that after viewing Michael Keaton's performance in Birdman he was inspired, and that he wishes to portray the character 'until his death'. Despite this, the film is being promoted as the last time Jackman will feature in the role.
• Including his cameo in X-Men: First Class (2011), this will be Hugh Jackman's ninth portrayal of Logan/Wolverine, raising his own record for the most times a comic book character has been played by the same actor in theatrical films.
