A few months ago Jackman said that he could be declawed as the character after "X-Men: Days of Future Past" due to the fact he's not getting any younger and the workout routines aren't getting any easier.
He was asked by EW about that $100M rumor, Jackman laughed and said:
"No it’s not true. I would never do that. I’ve never done that mainly because, for the fans and for me, each time I’ve gone around there’s been a really good reason to do it and I don’t know what that reason is from here. I’m in the middle of making this and I just promoted the other and I’m really happy with the way The Wolverine came out."
Speaking of "Future Past," the film's director Bryan Singer recently tweeted a photo with the caption Artifacts.
The pic features Havok's costume, Magneto's helmet, and possibly Angel Salvadore (Zoë Kravitz) wing. Just who is keeping these things?
The latest sequel is based on a -2 issue story arc in the 'X-Men' comics published in 1981. Kinberg (Sherlock Holmes) is on board to pen the screenplay which will include New Mutants. Magneto and his relationship with Charles X. Xavier will be front and center as well.
Singer penned the treatment and produced 'First Class' which was directed by Matthew Vaughn. Now, their roles will be completely reversed for this sequel with Singer helming the film while Vaughn wrote the treatment and will produce with Lauren Shuler Donner and writer Simon Kinberg
