Hugh Jackman did not take any steroids to portray Wolverine: 'Had been told about side effects'

<p>Last year, Hugh Jackman broke the internet, so to speak, by announcing that he will return to the role of Wolverine, after all. He will reprise the role of mutant in<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-deadpool-3-director-shawn-levy-teases-in-your-face-hardcore-violence-of-ryan-reynolds-hugh-jackman-film-542960"> the third 'Deadpool' movie</a></strong> and rub shoulders (or adamantium claws) with Ryan Reynolds' Merc with a Mouth. While speaking to CNN, Jackman teased the film, saying it is set before the events of 2017's 'Logan', in which the mutant died. He also revealed that he will have to follow a strict diet regimen and training for six months. He said he has learned "you can't rush it. I've learned that it takes time.

<p>Earlier, Reynolds said that having Jackman coming back as Wolverine is a "dream come true" for him.

<p>The news was surprising and yet not really surprising at the same time. Jackman so utterly owned the role of Wolverine that Disney did not want him to let go. Debuting in 'X-Men' in 2000, his casting was criticised as Wolverine in comics is a short man, which Jackman was not. But he soon proved detractors wrong, and gave one of the best superhero performances throughout, particularly in Logan.

Hugh Jackman to undergo training for six months for 'Deadpool 3': 'I've learned...'

<p>Hugh Jackman is not too happy with his pal Ryan Reynolds earning a spot in the Oscar shortlist. The two actors, known to make jokes at each other's expense, will share the screen together in the 'Deadpool' sequel. Jackman has now asked the Academy not to "validate" his co-star with an Oscar nomination for his Christmas movie 'Spirited'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reynolds has earned himself a spot on the Oscar shortlist for best song for 'Good Afternoon', from his and Will Ferrell starrer 'Spirited'.<br />
<br />
In a video posted to Twitter, Jackman jokingly said, "Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable."<br />
<br />
He continued, "I have to spend a year with him shooting Wolverine and Deadpool. Trust me, it would be impossible. It would be a problem."<br />
<br />
Jackman eventually praises Reynolds` holiday movie by saying, "I loved `Spirited.` It`s a great movie, the entire family watched it and had a blast. I love Will (Ferrell), I love Octavia (Spencer)... and `Good Afternoon,` I laughed the entire way through. It is absolutely brilliant."<br />
<br />
However, Jackman went on to say, in deadpan delivery, "But please, from the bottom of my heart, do not validate Ryan Reynolds (with an Oscar nomination)."</p>

Hugh Jackman is not too happy with his pal Ryan Reynolds earning a spot in the Oscar shortlist. The two actors, known to make jokes at each other's expense, will share the screen together in the 'Deadpool' sequel. Jackman has now asked the Academy not to "validate" his co-star with an Oscar nomination for his Christmas movie 'Spirited'. Reynolds has earned himself a spot on the Oscar shortlist for best song for 'Good Afternoon', from his and Will Ferrell starrer 'Spirited'. In a video posted to Twitter, Jackman jokingly said, "Ryan Reynolds getting a nomination in the best song category would make the next year of my life insufferable." He continued, "I have to spend a year with him shooting Wolverine and Deadpool. Trust me, it would be impossible. It would be a problem." Jackman eventually praises Reynolds` holiday movie by saying, "I loved `Spirited.` It`s a great movie, the entire family watched it and had a blast. I love Will (Ferrell), I love Octavia (Spencer)... and `Good Afternoon,` I laughed the entire way through. It is absolutely brilliant." However, Jackman went on to say, in deadpan delivery, "But please, from the bottom of my heart, do not validate Ryan Reynolds (with an Oscar nomination)."

<p>Ryan Reynolds sent shockwaves across the internet when he revealed that Hugh Jackman will play the role of Wolverine one more time, after all. And not only that, Wolverine will team up with Deadpool in the sequel to 'Deadpool 2'. Now, the Canadian actor has revealed how he convinced Jackman to return to the role of the adamantium-clawed mutant. Reynolds spoke to Collider, and admitted he is not responsible for getting Jackman back, though he always wanted him to play Wolverine again. He revealed that when he first met with Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige, having Jackman get back in the role was not possible at that time.</p>

<p>"And then Hugh just happened to call at that perfect moment and express that he'd be interested in coming back and doing this one more time. And the contents of that conversation, I'll let Hugh, because I know it's only inevitable that you and Hugh are going to speak at some point soon, I'm sure. I'll let Hugh answer that on his own. But he expressed interest in coming back, and then it was my job to take that to Kevin Feige one more time and sell it," he added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He went on to say that having Jackman was not a "hard sell". Instead, it was "an immediate and emphatic, unqualified yes." Earlier, it was 20th Century Fox that owned the screen rights to Wolverine, Deadpool, and other mutants (as well as Fantastic Four), but Disney acquired all the assets of the studio, and those characters can now come under the fold of Marvel Cinematic Universe.</p>

<p>The news was surprising and yet not really surprising at the same time. Jackman so utterly owned the role of Wolverine that Disney did not want him to let go. Debuting in 'X-Men' in 2000, his casting was criticised as Wolverine in comics is a short man, which Jackman was not. But he soon proved detractors wrong, and gave one of the best superhero performances throughout, and particularly in Logan. Disney perhaps wants to go safe with the casting of one of the most important mutants. We also saw Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', who might or might not return in other movies.</p>

Ryan Reynolds says having Hugh Jackman back as Wolverine 'is a dream come true'

<p>Last month, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman broke the internet, as they say, after they announced that not only the latter will be coming back as Wolverine, he will be in the third 'Deadpool' movie alongside Reynolds. The announcement was shocking because Jackman had made it clear 2017's 'Logan' was the swan song of his version of the character. After X-Men an Fantastic Four properties came under the MCU umbrella (post Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox), it was expected that a new actor will be cast in the role of James Howlett or Logan (other names for Wolverine, which is his codename), but for now anyway, Jackman is our default Wolverine again.</p>

<p>In a recent interview Reynolds and Jackman revealed how the team-up came to be. It all began with Reynolds approaching Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige after the Disney's takeover of Fox was complete and to find out about the fate of his R-Rated franchise.</p>

<p>“I got Kevin to talk what, if anything, the future holds for Deadpool in that transaction. The subject was coming up in the meeting about if we could find a way to do a Deadpool-Wolverine pairing. It wasn’t possible then. For this to be happening now is pretty damn exciting," Reynolds told Variety.</p>

<p>Jackman had said on 'Logan' press tour several times that he was done with Wolverine. He and Reynolds had been friends since they met on the sets of &nbsp;2009's 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', in which Reynolds played a markedly different version of Deadpool. Reynolds kept begging Jackman of doing a Wolverine-Deadpool movie with him, but Jackman always refused. That changed after a screening of the original 2016's 'Deadpool'.</p>

<p>“All I kept seeing in my head was ‘48 Hrs.’ with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. So it’s been brewing for a long time. It just took me longer to get here," said Jackman.</p>

Last month, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman broke the internet, as they say, after they announced that not only the latter will be coming back as Wolverine, he will be in the third 'Deadpool' movie alongside Reynolds. The announcement was shocking because Jackman had made it clear 2017's 'Logan' was the swan song of his version of the character. After X-Men an Fantastic Four properties came under the MCU umbrella (post Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox), it was expected that a new actor will be cast in the role of James Howlett or Logan (other names for Wolverine, which is his codename), but for now anyway, Jackman is our default Wolverine again. Also Read: 'Deadpool 3': Hugh Jackman to return as Wolverine, the film gets release date In a recent interview Reynolds and Jackman revealed how the team-up came to be. It all began with Reynolds approaching Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige after the Disney's takeover of Fox was complete and to find out about the fate of his R-Rated franchise. Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one. ⚔️ pic.twitter.com/OdV7JmAkEu — Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) September 27, 2022 × “I got Kevin to talk what, if anything, the future holds for Deadpool in that transaction. The subject was coming up in the meeting about if we could find a way to do a Deadpool-Wolverine pairing. It wasn’t possible then. For this to be happening now is pretty damn exciting," Reynolds told Variety. Jackman had said on 'Logan' press tour several times that he was done with Wolverine. He and Reynolds had been friends since they met on the sets of 2009's 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine', in which Reynolds played a markedly different version of Deadpool. Reynolds kept begging Jackman of doing a Wolverine-Deadpool movie with him, but Jackman always refused. That changed after a screening of the original 2016's 'Deadpool'. “All I kept seeing in my head was ‘48 Hrs.’ with Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. So it’s been brewing for a long time. It just took me longer to get here," said Jackman.

Hugh Jackman opens up about 'Deadpool 3' return, praises Ryan Reynolds: 'It’s been brewing for a long time'

<p>On Wednesday, Ryan Reynolds took the internet by storm when he announced, in his own unique way, that Hugh Jackman <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-deadpool-3-shocker-hugh-jackman-to-return-as-wolverine-the-film-to-release-on-this-date-520385">will come back as Wolverine</a></strong> in the third 'Deadpool' movie. Jackman was hardly in the frame, and hardly seemed to care. To Reynolds' request as to whether Jackman will be in 'Deadpool 3', Jackman, almost noncommittally, said, "Yeah, sure, Ryan." The fans, of course, went crazy with joy. Jackman had denied he will reprise Wolverine again and James Mangold's 'Logan' was meant to be his final film as the character. In another video&nbsp;later, both Reynolds and Jackman, sitting together this time, <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-watch-ryan-reynolds-and-hugh-jackman-explain-how-wolverine-will-be-a-part-of-deadpool-3-520580">explained how the mutant is alive</a> </strong>and can rub shoulders with Deadpool in the movie.</p>

On Wednesday, Ryan Reynolds took the internet by storm when he announced, in his own unique way, that Hugh Jackman will come back as Wolverine in the third 'Deadpool' movie. Jackman was hardly in the frame, and hardly seemed to care. To Reynolds' request as to whether Jackman will be in 'Deadpool 3', Jackman, almost noncommittally, said, "Yeah, sure, Ryan." The fans, of course, went crazy with joy. Jackman had denied he will reprise Wolverine again and James Mangold's 'Logan' was meant to be his final film as the character. In another video later, both Reynolds and Jackman, sitting together this time, explained how the mutant is alive and can rub shoulders with Deadpool in the movie.

'Deadpool 3' director on Hugh Jackman's comeback as Wolverine: 'This news has been burning a hole in my lips'

<p>The mock-fighting duo of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, respectively known for playing Marvel superheroes Deadpool and Wolverine, have stunned the internet -- in the best way possible Reynolds shared a video titled "Hard keeping my mouth sewn shut about this one" on his social media accounts in which he explained his absence at the D23 Expo, saying he has been hard at work with the third movie in the 'Deadpool' franchise. But after a lot of thinking, he admits he has no idea. And then we see Jackman casually strolling behind him. As he walks up the stairs, Reynolds asks him, "Hey, Hugh, want to play Wolverine one more time?" To which, Jackman responds, "Yeah, sure, Ryan."</p>

<p>As Whitney Houston's 'I Will Always Love You' song plays, we see the Deadpool logo, which is then slashed with Wolverine's admantium claws.</p>

<p>Ever since Disney acquired Fox and its properties, it has been a matter of time before we see X-Men and Fantastic Four, IP earlier owned by Fox, to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And we have known 'Deadpool 3' has been in development for some time. But Jackman's return as Wolverine -- if this is not an elaborate joke, that is, and we do not think it is -- is staggering as it was so unexpected. Jackman had earlier denied that he will play the role ever again. His 'Logan', released in 2017, was considered the swan song of his version of Wolverine, and fans had been discussing the actors who can take succeed him in the role.</p>

<p>It is surprising and yet not really surprising at the same time. Jackman so utterly owned the role of Wolverine that Disney did not want him to let go. Debuting in 'X-Men' in 2000, his casting was criticised as Wolverine in comics is a short man, which Jackman was not. But he soon proved detractors wrong, and gave one of the best superhero performances throughout, and particularly in Logan. Disney perhaps wants to go safe with the casting of one of the most important mutants. We also saw Sir Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier in 'Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness', who might or might no return.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, 'Deadpool 3' promises to be a game changer for MCU and Disney. Disney brand has an audience made up of mostly family and young children and thus the TV and movies they expect to see are also thus family-friendly. But the 'Deadpool' films are of course anything but family-friendly. They feature sex, gratuitous violence and of course foul language for one other name of Deadpool is Merc with a Mouth. We do know that it will be the first R-Rated MCU movie ever.</p>

<br />
Reynolds and Jackman then proceeded to explain how the 'Deadpool' film would include Wolverine in the story considering the character died in 2017 film 'Logan'.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Reynolds, known for his humour, did not obviously give out a straight answer and Jackman just added to his friend's elaborate explanation.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Acknowledging that there would be a lot of questions about Jackman's comeback as the popular character, the two actors startedoff explaining that 'Logan' was set in 2029.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"Logan takes place in 2029, a totally separate thing, not touching that…” The two then are seen passionately explaining the plot but music starts playing and we just see them having an animated conversation.&nbsp;</p>

Reynolds and Jackman then proceeded to explain how the 'Deadpool' film would include Wolverine in the story considering the character died in 2017 film 'Logan'. Reynolds, known for his humour, did not obviously give out a straight answer and Jackman just added to his friend's elaborate explanation.

<p>Hugh Jackman says playing the role of a father to a depressed teenager in 'The Son', which premiered in Venice on Wednesday, made him rethink his entire approach to parenting.</p>

<p>The Australian star says he had a need "like a fire in my gut" to play the part after reading the theatre version by writer-director Florian Zeller.</p>

<p>Jackman plays alongside Laura Dern as divorced parents trying to cope with a son who is falling ever-deeper into depression.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was a compulsion...it's a scary, beautiful feeling to have, that you rarely get as an actor, that you feel the part is right for you at this point in your life and you just must play it," he told reporters in Venice, where the film is competing for the top Golden Lion award.</p>

<p>What he didn't expect is how the film's devastating look at mental health would change his own relationship with his children.</p>

<p>"For many years as a parent, the job was to appear strong and dependable," he said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"But...since this movie, I've changed my approach. I share my vulnerabilities more with my 17- and 22-year-old kids, and I see the relief when I do."</p>

<p>Following a successful theatre career, Zeller's first film, 'The Father', won Oscars for him and its star Anthony Hopkins, who also makes a small but crucial appearance in 'The Son'.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jackman said he took the rare step of emailing Zeller to request the part personally, and the director said he agreed after just eight minutes on a Zoom call together.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I felt something very strong about the reason he was connected to that story," Zeller said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"It was the best decision ever because from that moment it was such a joyful, truthful and intense journey that we have shared."&nbsp;</p>

There were mixed reviews, with The Guardian calling it "a powerful and literate film", while others, such as the Hollywood Reporter, found it a "punishing slog".</p>

<p>But there was all-around acclaim for the actors, with Deadline praising Jackman for "the most impressive dramatic performance of his career, one he jumps into with no movie star filter".</p>

<p>Dern said the film carried a particularly vital message in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The greatest crisis that has come through this time is the epidemic of mental health, particularly in adolescents and young adults around the world. The numbers are so shocking," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Although the teenager, played by newcomer Zen McGrath, blames his parents' divorce for his difficulties, Zeller said the real roots of mental health problems are "much more difficult to explain".</p>

<p>"My intention was not to try to explain where it comes from," he said.&nbsp;</p>

Hugh Jackman says mental health film changed his view on parenting

<p>Actor Hugh Jackman did a great job with his character as Wolverine from the early 2000s up until the recent release of 'Logan’. Producer Kevin Feige has been looking for the right fit to play the iconic Logan from the comics. And now it looks like, he has found the perfect actor to reprise the role. There have been reports that Marvel Studios executives have been meeting with Welsh actor Taron Egerton, who was last seen playing the titular role in the British singer Elton John's biopic, ‘Rocketman’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Egerton has long been considered one of the top candidates to play Wolverine in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe film. Producer Kevin Feige had kept the details of the casting hidden, but according to ComicBook.com, Feige has been recently attending meetings with him being present throughout the audition.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The actor is known for his role as Eggsy in the first two ‘Kingsman’ films, as well as John Elton, during the promotion of the Apple TV+ series ‘Black Bird’,&nbsp;he told the New York Times about the possibility of him being part of the MCU and that he might be cast to lead Hugh Jackman as the next Wolverine.</p>

<p>"I'd love to. I don't think it would be wrong to say that. I'd be excited but I'd be apprehensive as well because Hugh is so associated with the role that I'd wonder if it'd be very difficult for someone else to do it," the 32-year-old said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He then continued, saying, "But hopefully if it does come around, they’ll give me a shot."</p>

<p>Jackman, who worked with Egerton in ‘Eddie the Eagle’ in 2016, was last seen playing the X-Men member in 2017’s ‘Logan’.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Egerton had earlier publicly spoken about his desire to do the role. Back in 2019, he told the British magazine GQ that he was aware that Marvel fans had been wanting him to take the role of Wolverine. "That anyone thinks I would be good for the part is really flattering," he said. "I love Marvel, but it’s just fan stuff. There is no grounding for those rumors."</p>

<p>In another recent interview, Egerton revealed that he didn't have the correct motives while accepting the roles in the critically panned 2018 movies ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ and ‘Robin Hood’. "I ignored my instincts on those two jobs because I was offered quite a lot of money to do them."</p>

<p>"And that’s just fatal. You can’t pick roles that way," Egerton added.&nbsp;</p>

Jackman, who worked with Egerton in ‘Eddie the Eagle’ in 2016, was last seen playing the X-Men member in 2017’s ‘Logan’. Egerton had earlier publicly spoken about his desire to do the role. Back in 2019, he told the British magazine GQ that he was aware that Marvel fans had been wanting him to take the role of Wolverine. "That anyone thinks I would be good for the part is really flattering," he said. "I love Marvel, but it’s just fan stuff. There is no grounding for those rumors." Also Read: Kristen Stewart opens up on directorial debut as she gets American Riviera Award In another recent interview, Egerton revealed that he didn't have the correct motives while accepting the roles in the critically panned 2018 movies ‘Billionaire Boys Club’ and ‘Robin Hood’. "I ignored my instincts on those two jobs because I was offered quite a lot of money to do them." "And that’s just fatal. You can’t pick roles that way," Egerton added.

<p>Australian director Baz Luhrmann’s movie ‘Australia’ is set to be released as a six-part limited series. The series, titled 'Faraway Downs',&nbsp;will be released exclusively as a Hulu Original in America and as a Star Original on Disney+ and Star+ in international markets. Luhrmann’s 2008 epic love letter to his native country, starring Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman in the lead, was a box-office failure, and critics were unhappy with the whole idea of the film. Despite the failure, the film has been frequently aired on cable, helping it earn some credibility.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The six-episode series is slated for a winter release, consisting of Director’s Cut footage that was recorded while filming along with an expanded and serialised version of the story. The makers have also promised an updated soundtrack and a new ending.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Luhrmann, who is currently enjoying the success of ‘Elvis’&nbsp;at the theatres, said: "I originally set out to take the notion of the sweeping ‘Gone With the Wind’ style epic and turn it on its head. A way of using romance and epic drama to shine a light on the roles of First Nations people and the painful scar in Australian history of the ‘Stolen Generations’."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Further, Luhrmann added that "while ‘Australia’ the film has its own life, there was another telling of this story," including "alternative plot twists that an episodic format has allowed us to explore."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Set in the era of World War II, ‘Faraway Downs’ will be executive produced by Luhrmann, Catherine Martin, Schuyler Weiss, and Catherine Knapman. Assuring a better experience, Luhrmann said, "Drawn from the same material, ‘Faraway Downs’ is a new variation on ‘Australia' for audiences to discover."</p>

<p>Speaking about Luhrmann, Craig Erwich, president of Hulu Originals and ABC Entertainment, said: "Baz is one of the world’s great auteur storytellers, so revisiting ‘Faraway Downs’ and experiencing his incredible film Australia in this unique, new episodic format has been a revelatory and unique adventure.

<p><strong>About ‘Australia’&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>For those who have missed the film, ‘Australia’ follows the story of an English aristocrat, Lady Sarah Ashley, played by Nicole Kidman. After the death of her husband, she inherits Faraway Downs, a large cattle ranch in Australia. When the Australian cattle barons try to seize her properties, she unwillingly teams up with a rough-hewn cattle drover (Hugh Jackman) to defend her ranch. The other plot of the film revolves around a character named Young Nullah, played by Brandon Walters, a bi-racial Indigenous Australian boy who gets involved in the government's twisted racial policies. The affected children are now known as the "Stolen Generations."</p>

<p>It was a laughing riot when names were crossed off the list for the possible candidates of James Bond as the current 007 Daniel Craig sat down for an interview with Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the world witnessing a grand-esque UK premiere of the latest James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ as the royalty, celebs and cast of the film appeared in their finest on the red carpet -- James Bond Daniel Craig was caught joking and toying around with names for the next Bond, a day prior.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-kate-middleton-glows-in-gold-at-no-time-to-die-premiere-416738" hreflang="en">Kate Middleton glows in gold at 'No Time To Die' premiere</a></h2>

<p>Before Bond became blonde and Daniel was picked to play the role in 2006’s Casino Royale, among the highest running names was Hugh Jackman who plays the famous Wolverine of ‘X-Men’. And now that Daniel is ready to bid adieu to the job of world’s most famous spy, Hugh Jackman’s name seemed to have cropped up again and we are not complaining!</p>

<p>On Monday, the Australian actor shared a clip of an interview between Lorraine Kelly and Daniel Craig. When Kelly brought up the search for the new Bond and began to mention advice that Hugh Jackman had apparently given him, Daniel Craig interrupted her, joking that he will never be taking up that role.&nbsp;</p>

It was a laughing riot when names were crossed off the list for the possible candidates of James Bond as the current 007 Daniel Craig sat down for an interview with Scottish television presenter Lorraine Kelly. With the world witnessing a grand-esque UK premiere of the latest James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ as the royalty, celebs and cast of the film appeared in their finest on the red carpet -- James Bond Daniel Craig was caught joking and toying around with names for the next Bond, a day prior. Kate Middleton glows in gold at 'No Time To Die' premiere James Bond is back: 007 film 'No Time To Die' premieres in London Before Bond became blonde and Daniel was picked to play the role in 2006’s Casino Royale, among the highest running names was Hugh Jackman who plays the famous Wolverine of ‘X-Men’. And now that Daniel is ready to bid adieu to the job of world’s most famous spy, Hugh Jackman’s name seemed to have cropped up again and we are not complaining! On Monday, the Australian actor shared a clip of an interview between Lorraine Kelly and Daniel Craig. When Kelly brought up the search for the new Bond and began to mention advice that Hugh Jackman had apparently given him, Daniel Craig interrupted her, joking that he will never be taking up that role.

International Dog Day: These are the reasons dogs are so good for your health

<p>Need proof that moviegoing is far from returning to normal? Look no further than this weekend`s domestic box office charts.<br />
<br />
Case in point: An animated movie based on the kid's TV show 'PAW Patrol'&nbsp;left Hugh Jackman`s romance-drama 'Reminiscence'&nbsp;in the dust in North America, with the heroic pups of Adventure City collecting six times more than a film toplined by one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood in their respective debuts. That`s the unpredictable reality of the movie theatre business as the delta variant continues to depress ticket sales across the globe.<br />
<br />
Neither 'PAW Patrol'&nbsp;nor 'Reminiscence'&nbsp;were able to best 'Free Guy,'&nbsp;which remained victorious for the second weekend straight. After debuting last weekend to a leading $28.4 million, the Disney and 20th Century`s sci-fi action comedy declined a mere 34% in its second weekend. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds, added another $18.8 million between Friday and Sunday, marking an impressive hold with or without a pandemic.<br />
Many summer offerings, including Paramount`s 'PAW Patrol'&nbsp;and Warner Bros.</p>

<p>'Reminiscence,'&nbsp;was made available on streaming platforms on the same day as their theatrical debuts. 'PAW Patrol'&nbsp;landed simultaneously on Paramount Plus, while 'Reminiscence'&nbsp;premiered concurrently on HBO Max. Alternatively 'Free Guy,'&nbsp;which had the best second-weekend hold of any nationwide release this summer, is available exclusively in theatres.<br />
<br />
In a closer-than-expected second place, 'PAW Patrol'&nbsp;earned $13 million from 3,184 North American theatres. That`s not a bad result for a kids movie, especially considering children under the age of 12 are currently unable to get vaccinated, making it less appealing for parents to take the whole family to the movies. Among opening weekend ticket buyers, 41% were parents and 47% were kids.<br />
<br />
'PAW Patrol,'&nbsp;centring on a young boy named Ryder and a heroic group of pups who save Adventure City from the evil Mayor Humdinger, was surprisingly well received by youngsters, parents and, yes, even critics. Variety`s Courtney Howard called the film a "gripping, inspiring animated thriller."<br />
<br />
"This is a good opening for a TV-based family animation release," says David A. Gross, who runs consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. "These movies are not in the league with the Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination juggernauts, but they cost less, make money and occasionally break out ? la 'Alvin and the Chipmunks,'&nbsp;'Mr. Peabody &amp; Sherman,'&nbsp;and 'Scooby-Doo.'"<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the Jackman-led 'Reminiscence'&nbsp;was barely able to crack the top 10 in its opening weekend. The film, playing in 3,265 North American locations, managed to scrape together $2 million, which is a terrible result given its $68 million production budget. However, the movie's underperformance isn't exactly surprising.<br />
<br />

Case in point: An animated movie based on the kid's TV show 'PAW Patrol' left Hugh Jackman`s romance-drama 'Reminiscence' in the dust in North America, with the heroic pups of Adventure City collecting six times more than a film toplined by one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood in their respective debuts.

Need proof that moviegoing is far from returning to normal? Look no further than this weekend`s domestic box office charts. Case in point: An animated movie based on the kid's TV show 'PAW Patrol' left Hugh Jackman`s romance-drama 'Reminiscence' in the dust in North America, with the heroic pups of Adventure City collecting six times more than a film toplined by one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood in their respective debuts. That`s the unpredictable reality of the movie theatre business as the delta variant continues to depress ticket sales across the globe. Neither 'PAW Patrol' nor 'Reminiscence' were able to best 'Free Guy,' which remained victorious for the second weekend straight. After debuting last weekend to a leading $28.4 million, the Disney and 20th Century`s sci-fi action comedy declined a mere 34% in its second weekend. The film, starring Ryan Reynolds, added another $18.8 million between Friday and Sunday, marking an impressive hold with or without a pandemic. Many summer offerings, including Paramount`s 'PAW Patrol' and Warner Bros. 'Reminiscence,' was made available on streaming platforms on the same day as their theatrical debuts. 'PAW Patrol' landed simultaneously on Paramount Plus, while 'Reminiscence' premiered concurrently on HBO Max. Alternatively 'Free Guy,' which had the best second-weekend hold of any nationwide release this summer, is available exclusively in theatres. In a closer-than-expected second place, 'PAW Patrol' earned $13 million from 3,184 North American theatres. That`s not a bad result for a kids movie, especially considering children under the age of 12 are currently unable to get vaccinated, making it less appealing for parents to take the whole family to the movies. Among opening weekend ticket buyers, 41% were parents and 47% were kids. 'PAW Patrol,' centring on a young boy named Ryder and a heroic group of pups who save Adventure City from the evil Mayor Humdinger, was surprisingly well received by youngsters, parents and, yes, even critics. Variety`s Courtney Howard called the film a "gripping, inspiring animated thriller." "This is a good opening for a TV-based family animation release," says David A. Gross, who runs consulting firm Franchise Entertainment Research. "These movies are not in the league with the Disney, Pixar, DreamWorks, Illumination juggernauts, but they cost less, make money and occasionally break out ? la 'Alvin and the Chipmunks,' 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman,' and 'Scooby-Doo.'" Meanwhile, the Jackman-led 'Reminiscence' was barely able to crack the top 10 in its opening weekend. The film, playing in 3,265 North American locations, managed to scrape together $2 million, which is a terrible result given its $68 million production budget. However, the movie's underperformance isn't exactly surprising. 'Reminiscence,' which garnered mixed reviews, targets older audiences, a demographic that`s been more reluctant to return to movie theatres.

Ryan Reynolds thanks friends Hugh Jackman, Dwayne Johnson and others for cameos

<p>Warner Bros Pictures has announced that Hugh Jackman-starrer Reminiscence will release in India on the big screen on August 27. The studio has already released 'Mortal Combat', The Suicide Squad' and 'The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It' in theatres here.<br />
<br />
'Reminiscence', which also features Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton, revolves around Jackman’s Nick Bannister, a private investigator of the mind, who navigates the darkly alluring world of the past by helping his clients access lost memories.</p>

<p><a href="http://13.235.153.162/photos/bell-bottom-f9-and-other-films-confirmed-to-hit-indian-theatres-soon-403408" hreflang="en">'Bell Bottom', 'F9' and other films confirmed to hit Indian theatres soon</a><br />
<br />
Living on the fringes of the sunken Miami coast, his life is forever changed when he takes on a new client, Mae (Ferguson). A simple matter of lost and found becomes a dangerous obsession. As Bannister fights to find the truth about Mae’s disappearance, he uncovers a violent conspiracy, and must ultimately answer the question: how far would you go to hold on to the ones you love?<br />
<br />
“The film explores the idea of memory and nostalgia as something that is potentially addictive, or just enticing to go back and live in the good old days, remember that time. And with this technology, you can relive it and just stay in the past. But what is the cost of that? And what does it mean for the future of these characters or even the present when you can so easily escape in the past?” Jackman said in a statement.<br />
<br />
The Hollywood star is hopeful that the movie will appeal to his fans in the post-pandemic world.</p>

And I think it’s a really interesting time and a very uncertain time. And I hope the movie resonates in that way, where it is wonderful to have memories, but as humans, we have to be constantly creating new ones. I hope in a way that this film opens that sort of discussion.”<br />

Hugh Jackman's 'Reminiscence' set to release on August 27 in India

<p>He may be a Hollywood superstar but Hugh Jackman says he could not believe his latest leading role was written specifically for him. "In my head, I was like `Oh, Brad Pitt turned down the part, right?`," Jackman joked about his role in the sci-fi thriller 'Reminiscence'.<br />
<br />
"I said `yes` before I read the script," the Australian actor said as he joined his co-stars Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton and the film`s writer and director Lisa Joy on a socially distanced blue carpet premiere in London on Wednesday night.<br />
<br />
Set in a war-torn and flooded Miami of the future,&nbsp;'Reminiscence'&nbsp;stars Jackman as hardened veteran Nick Barrister who, with his business partner Watts (Newton), offers a service that allows people to relive their memories.<br />
<br />
Barrister falls in love with a mysterious client, Mae (Ferguson), who has a violent past. When she suddenly disappears, Barrister sets out to discover who she really is.<br />
<br />
"Reminiscence" is the feature film debut for Joy who created the HBO series "Westworld" with her husband Jonathan Nolan.<br />
<br />

He may be a Hollywood superstar but Hugh Jackman says he could not believe his latest leading role was written specifically for him. "In my head, I was like `Oh, Brad Pitt turned down the part, right?`," Jackman joked about his role in the sci-fi thriller 'Reminiscence'. "I said `yes` before I read the script," the Australian actor said as he joined his co-stars Rebecca Ferguson and Thandiwe Newton and the film`s writer and director Lisa Joy on a socially distanced blue carpet premiere in London on Wednesday night. Set in a war-torn and flooded Miami of the future, 'Reminiscence' stars Jackman as hardened veteran Nick Barrister who, with his business partner Watts (Newton), offers a service that allows people to relive their memories. Barrister falls in love with a mysterious client, Mae (Ferguson), who has a violent past. When she suddenly disappears, Barrister sets out to discover who she really is. "Reminiscence" is the feature film debut for Joy who created the HBO series "Westworld" with her husband Jonathan Nolan. The filmmaker said she wrote the script while pregnant with her first child and mourning the loss of her grandfather. "The world, I think, is full of beauty and also full of some difficult things that we have to embrace, like climate change and like rising waters," she said. "This film attempts to create a portrait of the future that acknowledges the difficulties we might face, but also acknowledges the hope that exists for us to band together and create the kind of world that we`d like to live in." 'Reminiscence' will be released globally from Aug. 18, hitting cinemas in the United States and Britain on Aug. 20.

<p>Australian actor Hugh Jackman, best known for his recurring role as Wolverine—a Marvel comic character—has triggered rumours of him reprising that career-defining role. Needless to say, fans and MCU enthusiasts have gone berserk at the possibility of him returning as the clawed X-Men character and social media platforms are abuzz with various theories pertaining to that.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
It all started when Jackman posted two intriguing shots on his Instagram Stories, possibly hinting at his return in an upcoming Marvel film. The pictures in question are broken in two parts: one a fan art of his iconic role in question by an handle named BossLogic and the other, of himself posing with the President of marvel Studios Kevin Feige.&nbsp;<br />
After Disney acquired 20th Century fox, it has given the studio rights to its ‘X-Men’ and ‘Fantastic four’ franchises. While ‘Fantastic Four’ is believed to be a part of Marvel’s quarter four release calendar, there hasn’t been any announcement on the return of ‘X-Men, if at all.</p>

<p><br />
Various entertainment websites have also pointed out that Jackman is indeed suggesting his return as Wolverine but for an Avengers movie.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
&nbsp;“Every time I saw an Avengers movie, I could just see Wolverine in the middle of all of them like punching them all on the head. But it was like, ‘Oh well, that’s not gonna happen (sic),” Jackman had told an American news portal in the past. He had, however, mentioned that he would like to see a new actor take on that role.&nbsp;<br />
Hugh Jackman has mesmersised fans all over the world as Wolverine for 17 long years before hanging his boots in 2017 with the franchise’s final outing ‘Logan’, which also ended Sir Patrick Stewart’s long standing association with it as Professor X.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hugh Jackman is mocking and trolling Ryan Reynolds once again.<br />
<br />
Like always, Hugh again is calling out Ryan, but this time he is giving his best pal some career advice. The 'X- Man' star posted a video chatting with a fan on the streets, Officer John Dobkowski, who had some career advice for Reynolds regarding 'Deadpool 3'.<br />
<br />
"Officer Dobkowski is doling out incredibly smart career advice for @VancityReynolds," Jackman wrote alongside the video. "Sharing is caring."<br />
<br />
The short video features&nbsp;a New York city police officer John Dobkowski, and in the background&nbsp;Hugh can be heard saying, ''John just came up to me and I thought he was gonna somehow give me a ticket for something. But anyway, John, say what you just said to me."</p>
