If I can will it -- I would like Hugh Jackman to spend a good deal of the next phase of his career in historical films.
He has the personality & acting skills to depict stories of the past --
while movies like Les Miserables is fictional, it is based on life from that part of French history rich in events and cultural changes.
While fictional and only "inspired' by the story of PTBarnum, The Greatest Showman is really focused on the development of mass entertainment (aka showbiz) but unfortunately, what people remember from the movie most is the songlist.
More contemporary stories like depicted in Bad Education & The Front Runner are based in seemingly current times, so the illusion of history is not strong.
Let's hope Hugh Jackman is given more opportunities to interpret other facets of history in a historical film.
Crossing my fingers that the film project THE GOOD SPY lands squarely on his lap!

Isn't Shawn Levy directing one of the Skywalker movies?

If this is true - and I don't see why not - it is exciting to see Hugh Jackman in a Star Wars movie even if he plays a villain.
He has played villains before -- Wace in DECEPTION/ Vincent in CHAPPIE / Blackbeard in PAN -- all very colorful characters!

Why are they resurrecting a variation that did not do well (less than enthusiastic reception for Rise of Skywalker)? Isn't this movie with Rey Skywalker?
Is this the storyline that Hugh might be involved in?
Sounds like a DEI movie with Daisy Ridley as lead and a woman director? Maybe I am wrong?

I’m not sure if this is the right thread to post wishlist items, but I finally saw Hadestown. Wow. I kept thinking of Hugh as Hades and Beyoncé as Persephone ( replay of the Oscar Movies sicals, but still.)
