We were all devastated when Hugh Jackman announced that he was going to stop playing Wolverine or Wolverine after the film’s premiere Logan. The Australian actor played the X-Men mutant in several films and became one of those myths without the possibility of replacement, as is the case with Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron-Man.
Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool in the MCU, tried for a long time to get Jackman to play Wolverine again. And not only in the Deadpool movies, also in Free Guy and on their social networks. Today we know that he achieved it, because we will see his return in Deadpool & Wolverine. Although this time we want to focus on the authentic origins, the originals.
Hugh Jackman himself told Jimmy Fallon en The Tonight Show (2022) what his first days as Wolverine were like. “I went to Toronto [Canadá], I auditioned and they gave me the role. I had to go back to Los Angeles to pick up my things. They told me, ‘We need you here tomorrow,'” Jackman says.
It was something very sudden, so the actor did not have all the papers in order to spend time in the country working. “And they said: By the way, when you go through customs again, say that you are here for an audition […] and we will solve it later [el papeleo]”.

“Really? Well, it’s funny because it seems like you were here last week, why were you here last week?” the airport worker asked. Jackman says that he was sweating and very nervous, and that he ended up telling the truth: “I broke down, it was pathetic.” They even called him out for making a call.
Things changed when he revealed what character he was going to play: “It’s X-Men, something like a comic.” The worker was shocked and asked him about the character. “He is a character called Wolverine.” That’s when he started freaking out and calling his co-workers to yell at them that he was with damn Wolverine. He arrived at his destination escorted by the police after signing autographs. Apparently, he was a big X-Men fan.
