Hugh Jackman as Wolverine to Join Other Notables from History and Pop Culture Who Have Been Immortalized at Madame Tussauds

Witness the “Origins” of an Iconic Movie Star and Anti-Hero Becoming a Wax Figure at Celebrated Museum, on April 29, 2009

Monday April 13, 2009, 6:17 pm EDT

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hugh Jackman and the character that launched him to superstardom -- the beloved mutant anti-hero Wolverine – will be immortalized in wax at a gala event at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, on April 29, 2009.

Jackman joins a gallery of notable figures from the worlds of history, politics and pop culture – including recent inductee Michelle Obama – to receive the honor of seeing himself (and his on-screen alter ego Wolverine) transformed into a wax figure.

Rosita Chapman, Attractions Manager of Madame Tussauds, commented: "The new wax figure of Wolverine is sure to be a favorite with visitors from all over the world.”

The event precedes the May 1 launch of Jackman’s fourth turn as Wolverine: X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, in which he stars and serves as a producer. Jackman previously played the character in “X-Men,” “X2” and “X-Men: The Last Stand.”

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, the first chapter in the X-Men saga, unites Wolverine with several other legends of the X-Men universe, in an epic revolution that pits the mutants against powerful forces determined to eliminate them.

AWESOME!!!

The best I've seen in person were Schwarzenegger's from T2 and Stallone's from ROCKY (1976).

*Stallone was pretty short t: (I'm 5'11")

Amazing sculpting and skin coloring!! The artist took some really badass liberties on the exit wounds for the claws! That's what I always thought it should look like.
