Depending on who you talk to, there’s either a whole lot planned for future X-Men films or nothing at all. And that’s seemingly both for the present day movies from the original trilogy that’s hit as well as the new film from this year that dropped us back into the 60’s and said to hell with continuity. Add in all the fun associated with the way the new Wolverine movie has been going and it’s just a mess in the X-universe (which mirrors the comics at this point in time as well in a way). Hugh Jackman’s out doing the rounds for Real Steel and invariably things come up when he gets in front of the reporters. And with the character of Wolverine being very dear to him since he knows it’s why he has a jumpstart of a career years ago, he’s pretty honest about it all.
When asked about a fourth movie with the present day timeline, he says, “I don’t see it. I can only see one movie ahead. I’m pretty sure I’m well into the second half of this match. I don’t know exactly when the end is, but I only go one at a time. If this is the last one, fingers crossed, man, I just hope we finally get that hole in one.”
With X-Men: First Class having hit home video this month, he’s also opened up about the cameo in it and what went down and just how difficult and secretive the whole thing was, considering all the speculation that had gone on before about it. “They asked me to do that cameo a year before I did it and I said, ‘All right, pitch me the concept.’ They did and I liked it. I said, ‘Is anyone else swearing in the movie?’ and they said, ‘We don’t think so.’ I said, ‘Promise me no one else swears in the movie and I’m in.’ 50 percent of Wolverine’s dialogue should be ‘fuck.’ That feels right for me. And actually that particular take was an ad-lib I did at the end. There was more secrecy to shooting that than I have ever known. I actually checked into the hotel and they had no reservation under Jackman. I was under some comic book name I had never even heard of.”
