Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)
No actor can claim greater ownership of a comic book movie role than Hugh Jackman, who through seven starring roles, two cameos and 17 years has pioneered what it means to be a modern superhero actor. The X-Men franchise hasn’t always got it right (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), but Jackman has weathered the good and the bad. Jackman’s Wolverine is decidedly more charming than the comic book iterations (those close to Jackman say it’s impossible for the actor’s natural charm not to shine through), but that didn’t take away from him becoming so intertwined with the character that it’s hard to remember where comic book begins and Jackman ends. With Logan, which sees him play an older, vulnerable version of the character, Jackman leaves on the highest of notes, something nearly unheard of for a Hollywood star in a longterm relationship with a character. Snikt! Indeed.
