Hugh Jackman thanks X-MEN director Bryan Singer with a heartfelt gift.

Hugh Jackman is hanging up the claws with his final solo WOLVERINE film, coming to theaters in just 5 months on March 3rd. To mark the iconic occasion, the actor commissioned Marvel’s Joe Quesada to create epic artwork of himself and original X-MEN director Bryan Singer styled as the leader, Professor X.

“Dear Bryan – It all started with you, Bub! 1999-2016,” wrote the actor. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Love, Hugh.”

Singer responded: “Thank you so much Hugh Jackman for commissioning the brilliant comic artist Joe Quesada to make these fantastic and very personal covers for me. I will cherish them and our long friendship and collaboration always.”
