Wolverine (Character - Hugh Jackman)

Hugh Jackman's first appearance as Wolverine was in 2000, as the the first x-men film hit theaters, this was a major blockbuster yet they gave the tittle role to a unknown actor, the director (Brian Singer) had his first choice to play Wolverine as Russel Crowe, but after the recent 'Gladiator' at the time, Crowe wasn't feeling up to another year of work out training for a role, but suggest another Aussie actor to take his place, and the rest is history. Jackman has played the character six times already with another filming at the moment, by which time he will have played the character for nearly fifteen years. It it such a loved character and Jackman plays the well so well, that I don't think he will be replaced, I think he will play the character until the fans have had enough, and in my book thats a very long time yet.
