The actor later revealed that he and longtime producer Kevin Feige originally planned to have Wolverine cameo in Sam Raimi&#8217;s first &#8220;Spider-Man&#8221; film, despite potential conflict between 30th Century Fox and Sony.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The smaller scale of The Wolverine compared to other superhero films:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, what I love and am so proud of that movie is Jim [Mangold] did such a great job. Everyone says, &#8220;Oh, that bullet train scene is my favorite action scene.&#8221; But actually, my opponent is a guy with a knife who&#8217;s good at martial arts. He&#8217;s not a mutant in any way. And it&#8217;s still a great battle. There&#8217;s still comedy. There&#8217;s action &#8212; it looks amazing &#8212; but it&#8217;s sort of believable. Not that you&#8217;d ever find an actor doing that [laughs].&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kevin Feige&#8217;s plan to have Wolverine cameo in 2002&#8217;s &#8220;Spider-Man film:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In the first &#8220;Spider-Man&#8221; &#8212; Kevin Feige reminded me of this &#8212; we really tried to get me to come on and do something, whether it was a gag or just to walk through the shot or something. The problem was, we couldn&#8217;t find the suit. The suit was stuck in some thing. And so when they were in New York when I was there, we couldn&#8217;t get it together. So, you know, I actually asked some high level people about it. Because the optimist in me goes, &#8220;Why not? Why can&#8217;t we do it? You know, a split cast or whatever?&#8221; And someone reminded that the amount of money Fox paid compared to the amount of money Disney paid is very different [laughs]. So how you split that pie up? God knows. But in the comic books, what&#8217;s great about it is they&#8217;re just mashing together all the time &#8212; and it&#8217;s awesome. And people are like, &#8220;Yeah, well, let&#8217;s get this one with that!&#8221; And, you know, I still think, one day, there may be an ability to do it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/spider-man1963.tumblr.com\/post\/32245224963\/contrary-to-popular-belief-me-and-wolverine-do\" target=\"_blank\">Spider-Man&#8217;s Tangled Web<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hugh Jackman recently spoke to Huffington Post about THE WOLVERINE while doing promotional rounds for&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21437,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[15,34,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-crew-talk","category-the-wolverine","category-x-men-days-of-future-past"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21427\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/x-menfilms.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
