For almost twenty-five years Hugh Jackman has been playing Wolverine on screen, longer than any other actor has consecutively portrayed a live-action comic book character.
The actor has appeared as the character in six different ‘X-Men‘ movies and three ‘Wolverine‘ movies including the critically acclaimed ‘Logan,’ which was supposed to be his final appearance as the beloved character.
However, Jackman will reprise his signature role one more time opposite his good friend Ryan Reynolds in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine‘, which is the third movie in the ‘Deadpool‘ franchise but the first to take place in the MCU and will open in theaters on July 26th.
In honor of Jackman’s return to the character, Moviefone is counting down every Hugh Jackman appearance as Wolverine, including his cameos and his latest film.
Let’s begin!
