Nah, I'm fine with it. I can't imagine anyone else playing the part, and Jackman never does a bad job, even in the bad movies.

Hugh Jackman is awesome. I'd have loved to see the Aronofsky Wolverine though. And yes, please, more character driven, intimate and less world ending plots.

I was going to say "Yeah, why would you want to add blades to the danger" but then I remembered the Spider-Man musical already had a Silver Samurai/Stryfe-looking villain called Swiss Miss.

Nobody involved cared about the comic in the first place. It's pretty much the musical equivalent of Tim Burton's attempt at Superman, only this time it was actually seen to fruition.

The one thing I found surprising in Thor 2 is a plotline they hinted at but really failed to explore: a love triangle between Thor, Jane Foster and Sif. Which is a shame, as Portman wasn't very enjoyable (still at least she was trying slightly harder to bother acting than in Thor). Outside of First Class, the film featured probably the most complex portrayal of Marvel characters to date (that's not saying much). Would have liked to have seen more of the Warriors Three.

The exact nature of the killing of Malekith at the end was a little confusing due to the overuse of special effects both the hammer and the macguffin at the same time, wasn't sure which delivered the important blow.

Ecclestone didn't seem to ham it up, which was a bit of a shame, but by all accounts he just did it for the money at any rate according to his interview in the Metro.

e:Overall I very much enjoyed it though.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the X-Force movie have Wolverine as team leader. Or if they use Cable, his origin will be that of the Ultimate version so that Jackman will still be playing him.

I don't think Jackman has to many more Wolverine films in him, he just is loving Wolverine though just like RDJ is Iron Man and I'll be mad when he isn't. He's also fairly young still in his 40s so I mean he could probably play Wolverine for like 10 more years.

I love Hugh Jackman as Wolverine though.

I'd love to see Steve Blum actually play the character, not just the voice...maybe for a skit or something.

It would be nice if they got someone who actually looked the Wolverine in the comics to play the character. Someone short, stout, and hairy. Basically I am saying they should get Danny de Vito to play the role.

The problem there is that Blum's almost ten years older than Jackman, and I'm pretty sure has never been in anything even close to the same shape Jackman's willing to get into for Wolverine. It would be cool, but I could only really see it as an Old Man Logan-type deal. And honestly if that ever happens I think it'd be cool to see Jackman do it, even if it only happens after someone else replaces him as the Main Wolverine.

Wolverine in the comics basically looks like Jackman now, though. Either way he can probably play the character for 15 more years. Watch The Wolverine and marvel at how he is ten times buffer than in the original X-Men film.

He was pretty young for Wolverine when the first movie came out.

I was reading an article a while back about how actors like Jackman and Cavill get in shape for their parts and it talked about how hard they work just to get in the shape they're in for those couple of shirtless scenes per movie. Its insane how hard Henry Cavill worked just for that one scene in Man of Steel where he's walking around shirtless in Alaska after the oil rig.

Here is another big difference: Max Brooks's father is Mel Brooks and he seems like an awesome guy too. Max Landis's father is responsible for the deaths of two kids and an actor.
