As one of the most popular comic book and animated series, director Bryan Singer took on the challenge of bringing the X-Men to life on the big screen. One of the toughest challenges for Singer when casting the X-Men back in 2000 was finding the right guy to take up the mantle of the iconic Wolverine.
In one of the greatest casting decisions in cinematic history, Hugh Jackman was given the role of Logan. Over his seventeen-year career, Hugh Jackman has delivered many memorable moments and now holds a Guinness World Record for Longest-Serving Marvel Superhero and his name will forever be synonymous with Wolverine.

Logan's History
Although some X-Men fans do not see the appeal of X:Men Origins: Wolverine, it is hard to dispute how incredible the opening credit scene is. Here, we are given a glimpse into James' (Logan's) life over the span of approximately 120 years, as he fights side by side with his brother in the American Civil War, both World Wars, and the Vietnam War. This scene plays a crucial role in showing fans what he was doing early on in his life, and ultimately how he came to meet Colonel William Stryker.

Bar Fight
In the 2000's X-Men movie, when Rogue runs away from home she stumbles upon a fighting ring inside of a bar. Here, fans are introduced to Hugh Jackman as Wolverine for the first time. With the sound of clashing metal, he can immediately be seen and heard as he punches and headbutts his opponent in an easy victory. Afterwards, Logan is approached by the man who demands his money back and suspects him of being a mutant. The man then pulls a knife on him but is disarmed as Logan unleashes his adamantium claws.

Attack On Mansion
Although this is the second movie, this is the first time the fans see Wolverine in his full glory. In X2 after Stryker uses Magneto for information, he learns of the location of the mansion used by Professor Xavier and the other X-Men as the School For Gifted Youngsters. Stryker then orders a covert attack on the mansion which is being held down by Wolverine. This scene shows him as a leader and a total beast as he single-handedly takes down the entire strike team, protecting the mansion and the students.

Logan Saves Yashida
In 2013's The Wolverine, the movie begins in Hiroshima, Japan during the dropping of the atomic bomb in World War Two. As a young soldier, Yashida is about to take his life with the other officers when he is saved by Logan who rushes him into a bunker. As the bomb is dropped, Logan takes a piece of the hatch and covers Yashida with it to protect him from the blast, leaving himself completely vulnerable to the full force and heat of the bomb. This is where Logan's healing factor can be seen on full display as he gets completely charred by the blast, yet his body heals itself in a matter of seconds.

Explicit Cameo
In X-Men: First Class, the fans are given a cameo to satisfy their Wolverine appetites. In a scene where Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr are on a mission to seek out other mutants, they come across a bar. As they walk in, they approach Logan who is at the counter having a drink and smoking a cigar. In total Wolverine fashion, Hugh Jackman delivers the most amazing improvised one liner in any of the X-Men movies and says, "Go f**k yourself." The two men then exit the bar completely baffled.

Weapon X
In X-Men: Apocalypse; Jean, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler go to Alkali Lake to rescue the rest of their team who have been taken by William Stryker. Once in the facility, Jean unleashes something from behind a heavily sealed room. When the door opens, the audience is greeted with a ferocious looking Wolverine wearing the classic Weapon X machinery used on him for testing.
Wolverine then proceeds to take out every single person he sees in a blind rage. Until he encounters Jean, who removes the machinery from him and restores part of his memory before he escapes into the woods.

The Last Hope For Mutants
No movie shows the importance of Wolverine and how valuable his abilities are other than, X-Men: Days of Future Past. In this film, mutants are on the verge of extinction as they are being wiped out by the Sentinels which were created by Dr. Bolivar Trask back in the 70's. In an effort to change this, Kitty Pryde sends Wolverine to the past to ensure the Sentinels do not have a future. The reason why Wolverine is the only one capable of making this trip is because of his healing ability. His mind is essentially being torn apart, but it is also able to heal itself, making him the only one who can survive it.

Killing Jean
In terms of biggest moments for Wolverine in the movies, the scene at the end of X-Men: The Last Stand is undoubtedly one of the biggest and one of the toughest moments for him. In this movie, Jean Grey's power is becoming too strong for her to control. Nearing the end of the battle between the mutants, Jean is almost completely gone as the Dark Phoenix is taking over and begins to destroy everything and everyone around her. As the last piece of Jean breaks through, she begs Logan to save her. It is in this moment Wolverine is forced to make an impossible decision between saving everyone else and killing the woman he loves.

Logan And X23
In 2017's Logan, fans are given a take on the Old Man Logan comics which portrays an older, weaker Wolverine. In the movie, Alkali is still performing experiments on mutants, except now they are using children to create soldiers made with the genetic code of other mutants.
As one of the biggest moments for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, the final fight scene in the woods will forever be one of the more memorable ones. This scene gifts the fans with one more opportunity to see Wolverine in all his glory as he fights side by side with Laura (x23), his daughter.

Infusion Of Adamantium
It is impossible to mention Wolverine without bringing up his killer claws and adamantium skeleton. In X-Men Origins, Logan works with Stryker one last time in an experiment to infuse his skeleton with adamantium. Once the infusion is complete, Stryker orders the erasing of Logan's memory. Upon hearing this, Logan bursts out of the infusion tank with his enhanced strength and lets out a primal roar signaling the beginning of The Wolverine. Taking on gunfire that is now ricocheting off of him, Wolverine escapes from the facility unleashing the animal.
