Hugh Jackman Movies to Watch As A Runup Deadpool & Wolverine
The world wasn't prepared so soon to see Hugh Jackman come to terms with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and decide that he would come back as the mighty Wolverine and end up making his MCU debut. If that was any less exciting, he is all set to meet Deadpool in the Multiverse saga with Deadpool & Wolverine where they together set out to save the world. If even that doesn't excite you, he is also a part of the Avengers' future project as the X-Men now enter the MCU in a much bigger way. And if all of this has left you restless, trust us, nothing can. So when there is so much of Hugh waiting on the other end of the spectrum you are of course obsessed with him and only him at the moment; sorry Ryan Reynolds. And that leaves you with the craving for Jackman content to ease the anticipation a bit down.
Deadpool & Wolverine is still a month and a half away from its release. The film will hit the big screen on July 26, 2024. The advance bookings are now open and Marvel Studios has been dropping many promotional bits from the film. This has certainly added more to the buzz that was already beyond the loudest. So it is given that almost all of us fans are not being able to keep calm, and actually, we don't want to. What we rather want is to devour some Hugh Jackman content real quick so we can ease that anticipation a bit down.
So we thought to compile a list of films starring Hugh Jackman to recommend to you so you can watch them over the week or month however you like. These movies have been made by some of the most prolific directors including the Dune fame Denis Villeneuve. So watch and prep for Deadpool & Wolverine which is not that far from now.
