Hugh Jackman nearly called it quits afterX-Men Origins: Wolverine

But there was one other time when Jackman almost hung up the claws for good.

I dont know what else to do.

I dont know where to go.

And he heard about it from fans… often.

I knew people liked the character.

Not all the fans like that firstWolverine, Jackman said.

Theyre very vocal with me.

Good or bad, they tell me.

Its kind of a family I have.

What were you thinking?!

At the time, theBlack Swandirector had plans to helm what would becomeThe Wolverine.

(Logandirector James Mangold took over after Aronofsky dropped out to makeNoah.)

Ideas from those chats, however, made it intoThe WolverineandLogan.

The scab might go within a month or two weeks, but thats there for life.

All of the sudden, I had this image.

Theres a whole other way to get into it.'

Its this principle that convinced Jackman to return one final time forLogan.

I think this film demonstrates that better than any.
