Hugh Jackman Gives A Diplomatic Answer For The Sexual Misconduct Allegations Imposed On Bryan Singer
Hugh Jackman became a renowned face globally with X-Men’s Wolverine. He was approached by Bryan Singer to play the character of Wolverine in the first movie of The House of X-Men in 2000, which went on to become a colossal commercial hit.

He said-
“You know, that’s a really, really complicated question. There’s a lot of things at stake there. X-Men was the turning point, I believe, in terms of comic-book movies and I think there’s a lot to be proud of.”
He further added-
“And there’s certainly questions to be asked and I think they should be asked. But I guess I don’t know how to elegantly answer that. I think it’s complex and ultimately I look back with pride at what we’ve achieved and what momentum that started.”
Hugh Jackman announced his retirement from the X-Men universe in 2017, but he would be seen reprising Wolverine in the third installment of Deadpool. Reportedly, Jennifer Garner would be featured as Elektra in Deadpool 3.

I grew up at the time when the women danced on a dancefloor in a circle and the men stood on the outside with a beer and I was like: what are you guys doing over here? The women are all down there with their handbags in the centre dancing around. I’m like: this is easy pickings, there’s not one man on the dancefloor!”
