"He doesnt have his metal yet in 1973," confirms Singer, which places this movie before the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Wolverine's first meeting with a man by the name of William Stryker, head of the Weapon X programme. Here, Stryker (previously played by Brian Cox in X2 and Danny Huston in Origins) is played by Josh Helman. And we're intrigued to see how Magneto and Wolverine get on now that the former can't make the latter behave like a puppet on a string...
So is this basically Jackman's swan song? I keep hearing that this'll be the last for him in the role and frankly he's earned a retirement after doing the role 5 times already.
Obviously not, only if you buy this "this might be the last movie that I will play the character" stuff.
I've heard a lot of actors from established franchises say that and 2 years later, they were back in the sequel.
Were any of those actors so long in a single role though(14 years once the film hits)? Or have made so many films playing that role(6 and a cameo)? RDJ's getting close(# of films-wise) but now he's got a big 2-year break between resuming his role. Other that SLJ as Fury(who honestly mostly does cameos) there's no one comparative to Jackman as Wolverine in this genre. At some point soon, the guy's just gonna say enough is enough and let someone else give it a try.
