He's the best there is at what he does...and what he does is brood over dead love interests.
During a recent interview with Parade to promote his upcoming film Les Misérables, actor Hugh Jackman was asked to give the magazine a scoop on next year's film The Wolverine, directed by James Mangold. Jackman responded, "You want to get me into trouble, don’t you? [laughs] Okay, the movie takes place after X-Men: The Last Stand. My character is at his lowest. He is supposed to be able to heal himself, but he may encounter someone who has worked out a way to really hurt him. And there is a cameo from one of the past X-Men in it."
For those who remember the 2006 movie, Wolverine was forced to kill his fellow X-Man and love interest Jean Grey after Jean went all Dark Phoenix and murdered both her boyfriend Cyclops and her mentor Professor Charles Xavier. When last we saw Wolverine, it was presumed he remained with Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters as a teacher.
Well, chances are good that the X-Man getting a cameo in The Wolverine is indeed Jean Grey. Two months ago, the site We Got This Covered posted rumors of Famke Janssen flying into Sydney to shoot a cameo, where The Wolverine was filming, which lines up nicely with the tidbit that Jackman revealed to Parade. It's possible Jean appears in some form of flashback scene or perhaps a hallucination.
Jackman also recently signed on to reprise Wolverine once again in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past to be helmed by returning director Bryan Singer. Interestingly, he hints that his appearance will be more than just another cameo, saying on his Twitter account "Great to be back where it all began with Bryan Singer and 'X-Men: Days of Future Past.' And to work with the new cast for more than four hours this time."
The Wolverine is scheduled to arrive in theaters on July 26, 2013. X-Men: Days of Future Past arrives July 18, 2014.
