" The hardest working and kindest actor in all of Hollywood #Hugh Jackman "


Is Bryan Singer trying to atone for something ?

Bryan must have been sorry for the treatment of Hugh that he allowed himself to be persuaded to do ( i.e., change Hugh's involvement in APOCALYPSE to that of a cameo)

Deadpool introduces 5 post-trailer scenes for APOCALYPSE, probably to up the interest in the movie in the Japanese market ( which usually gets a later-date release, probably for dubbing/subtitle requirements) --

At 3'23", he talks about the appearance of "a Japanese mutant with claws" - yeah, WeaponX-san

I never saw Deadpool -- but is that Ryan's regular speaking voice -- it does sound like him but with the mask on and only his speaking voice to identify the actor - hmmm....

I have read somewhere that it took two days to film that cameo.

EMPIRE lists its top 15 movie cameos of 2016.

Hugh's Weapon X cameo finds a spot in the list. It is also recognized as the highlight in the movie!

10. Hugh Jackman in X-Men: Apocalypse

This year’s X-Men movie was something of a disappointment, and slightly overshadowed by the mutant team’s younger, naughtier, swearier Ryan Reynolds–shaped cousin. Thank goodness, then, for Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine, the undisputed highlight of the film, unable to resist a bit of Weapon X slash-and-kill before he hangs up his claws next year.

I almost didn't recognize Hoult in the MAD MAX trailer preceding the showing of CHAPPIE that I attended. Pretty good makeup. Not that I'm anxious for Hugh to have a big role in APOCALYPSE--I'm not--but I do hope he does at least a cameo, further cementing his place in the Guinness Book (I'm assuming this is included) for having played the same comic book superhero more times than anyone else.

Blame it on Kinberg -- wasn't he the screenwriter for both movies ? Or did he suggest this because as early as then, he was already thinking of the idea of putting Mystique in a leadership role in APOCALYPSE ( at the expense of Logan)? He might have been trying to get a new pointman/woman for the franchise in the person of Jennifer Lawrence, vice Jackman?


Also, wasn't the Wolverine cameo in APOCALYPSE an afterthought to appease Jackman, who was left without a big role in that movie (Kinberg and Singer eventually admitted that they deliberately switched the leader role from Logan to Mystique )? Remember the incident at the parking garage before the XMen team, sans Jackman, appeared at the ComicCon where Hugh was left embarrassingly without a seat during the presentation? The cameo was shot many months after the main movie was filmed ( part of reshoots) and was practically proof that it was a belated apology from Singer?
