Dick Nave 20th Century Fox owns the rights to all The Xmen not Marvel. Wolverine is just a Marvel Character. Marvel had to sell off a bunch of characters to companies to get money because they were bankrupt. Now ya know.
"I can't even show you the scars, for all the times I've tried to kill myself" damn that line was heavy as hell by Wolverine. Really wished they would have put that in the movie
@@umairashraf5167 i get where you're coming from, but then again, he's lived a very tough life and i wouldn't put self-destruction past him. it sounds like something he would share in an extreme moment. this is just my opinion tho, you are obviously free to have your own. as someone struggling with suicidal thoughts imagining wolverine having troubles with the same thing kind of gives me strength and courage, so i might be biased too.
Funny how before the movie cam out no one would think he would be able to play the role of wolverine, the last person you'd expect. Yet he does it almost perfectly
I would argue against that. I think he needs to be a lot more rabid. Jackman plays him like a rough cowboy. Singer is an awful director, Jackman was just Singers homoerotic version of Wolverine
***** i agree kinda BUT I think they made him the romantic lead for higher demographics(Women) wolverine origins but that's Singers fault/choice not Jackmans.
@@Lonstermash he wasn't. It was supposed to be Dougray Scott but because of his injuries in the set of Mission Impossible 2, he had to dropped out. Then Bryan Singer wanted Russell Crowe for the part but Crowe decline as he thought that the role wasn't for him. Crowe suggested Hugh and Hugh was cast few weeks before filming
i am glad hugh jackman got the wolverine role because he embodies and captures his true essence and its fascinating to me how the most humble actor in hollywood is portraying the angriest characters ever created
Nope. So hard to believe that he did NOT originally get the part. I talked about that with him during my interview with him a year ago here on my channel
Jackman could have played any hero and be great. You name it:Superman, Batman,...or James Bond, you name it. The guy looks like a hero in real life, he probably doesn't even have to work out more than he usually does. He wakes up,drinks a little coffe, and looks the part already. His Wolverine is amazing, the best.
Jackman does not fit everything, Superman is supposed to be a pretty man, Batman is supposed to be a rich man, Captain America is supposed to be a 40s looking person and etc
and when i mean pretty, i meant like those ones from the old times where the wanted face for a man is a big butt chin, visible cheek bones, blue eyes, etc
Shave him, comb his hair 40s style, and there you go...Jackman, Jackman, Jackman...Don't tell me Jackman couldn't play Superman at the drop of a hat, because he could.
Bryan Singer: I'm putting together a team of people with special abilities. See I believe a bigger enemy is coming and.... Hugh Jackman: Stop right there, I'm in.
I think most commenters here don't get how a real audition works. This is the beginning of character development. This is also why Brian Singer makes a shitload of money by first casting the right actor's for his movies.
It doesn't matter the audition reads, it doesn't matter how great the actor or actress- I always watch auditions and think to myself... "How the hell can they figure out the person is perfect in the part with that?" I'm not saying it's bad- not at all- but seeing so many people reading like that- with nothing else to play off of asides from someone just reading lines... like, he's definitely Wolverine/Logan- but watching this, before seeing him as Logan- I wouldn't have said "Yup! That's Wolverine!" LoL- I don't envy people who have to cast movies...
I love that everyone is making the "did he get the part" joke. You all know he didn't get the part originally right? Dougray Scott did but had to pull out so he got it. Just funny lol.
Hugh Jackman on Jimmy Fallon 2020: "My audition for Wolverine was 20 seconds" Everyone: "We've been watching your 10+ minute audition on CZcams for the past 10 years".
The title is misleading. This is a reading session, not an audition. With that in mind, Hugh Jackman is doing a fantastic job with the exploration of the Wolverine character (which is what you're supposed to do in a reading; the finalized portrayal happens during rehearsal). Also, he is NAILING the American accent!
He always does great with his American accent. When I interviewed him, a lot of people told me they forgot he was an Aussie. But Wolverine is actually Canadian, lol.
Right!! Im soooo god damn pissed at him for saying he wont play Wolverine anymore >_X He is the perfect embodiment of the real life version of Wolverine. Then again, I do understand why he is quieting, BUT STILL >_
WolfFireheart don't be be pissed man he gave 17 years and like 9 films portraying Wolverine. It's sad but glad he gave us a bunch of material. He will always be wolverine.
We will all miss him, but he is smart to go out while he's still on top. Now, if only I could get an audition, lol. Check out my interview here with him
They were taking a big gamble actually... since Wolverine is supposed to be far uglier and shorter than Hugh. But after 17 years as Wolverine, I think Hugh created an on-screen legend, regardless of what the goddamn fanboys say.
What really impressed me is Brian understands the character and the scene very well and explains them to Hugh who is also really open to understanding and changing to what he wants. (I love Hugh and he's a great actor but I just had the realization that Brian is doing really good)
it's pretty awesome seeing how different he sounds here compared to in the movie. You can hear his accent in some of these lines, but in the movie you can't even tell
THANK YOU! I´ve heard about this clip and wanted to see it a long time! He´s so beautiful it´s almost unbearable to watch him... It´s interesting to see it when we all know what a success the movies have been and what a STAR he is today!
Hugh Jackman was perfectly cast as Logan / Wolverine and he was perfect for the role ! 😁 I cried so hard when i watched Logan because it was the last time we will see Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine and it was a fitting ending of the X-Men franchise . Its amazing how Logan has changed and progressed on his Journey from X-Men to Logan .
It was great that Bryan Singer took the time to give Hugh Jackman in-depth pointers into the psyche of Wolverine; probably a sign that he's already rooting for the guy to play the part. This is history, guys!
AMEN to that!! Otherwise we would have missed out on Hugh playing the part (and my cosplay career would have never happened, lol). I discuss that with him in my interview a year ago
Now that Daniel Craig has stepped down, Hugh would make a perfect James Bond. Also since he’s done playing Wolverine, he can be committed to a new franchise/role.
Fabian Salak It does. For example, the actor comes in for an audition. He hasn't seen the script before. He is given the script, and has time to look it over for a few minutes. Then he is asked to perform the scene. That's called a cold reading. Google "I went in for a reading", and you will find quotes from actors describing an audition. Quote from Lana Wood: "She had called the producer and said I would be perfect for a part they were having trouble casting. I went in for a reading and got the role." Another quote: "Matt Damon's stepsister was stunned when she landed an audition for the Hollywood star's new movie - and was told she'd be playing his lover. - "Five months ago I went in for a reading for this movie Matt's in, The Adjustment Bureau. It's in production right now in New York. "It was for a character called Elise - she is basically queen bee at this ballet academy - and all of a sudden they say, 'Are you aware that if you get this role, you'll be playing Matt's love, having a love affair with your brother.'"My jaw dropped."Fortunately the sordid story ended on a positive note for the young actress: "I just read for a more appropriate role in the movie, Elise's friend, and I got the part. It's very exciting. What parents wouldn't want their children to work together."
VakieF1 I appreciate your research, but you are wrong on the matter. There is a huge difference between a reading and an audition. Both could be used to cast you, but they are not the same thing. Perhaps you should research who is making the statements before attempting to correct them. Just a little food for thought.
Hugh does the great improvisation using snark and in his eyes, you can see the expression of sadness that Logan does!!!! Ugh, he's AWESOME! He is THE WOLVERINE
@@nik123698 Apparently Hugh said yes if they would go in a grittier darker route instead of a cheesy cartoony one like before and they said you have no say in this and Hugh declined after that. Funny part is Hugh was right... years later that's what they did anyway and it took off.
This is ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE to the man....He is AMAZING at his job and I adore him as Wolvi, BUT had i not know that this was an audition, i'd probably have thought it's just a VERY pissed #HughJackman having to put up with a conversation he doesn't enjoy AT ALL :D!!!
It's not really an "audition" per se. It's more of a reading. I agree with your sentiments, though. Check out my interview with him a year ago. Coolest day of my life
I hope he gets the part!!
slinkyk3wl lol me too
sadly he doesnt get it
+slinkyk3wl hmm idk, i cant imagine this guy playing as wolverine
sarcastic?
yap
Marvel got dumb lucky to find Hugh Jackman, he IS Wolverine.
Dick Nave Especially after coming back as a bankrupt company on it first moments on foot.
True
Dick Nave 20th Century Fox owns the rights to all The Xmen not Marvel. Wolverine is just a Marvel Character. Marvel had to sell off a bunch of characters to companies to get money because they were bankrupt.
Now ya know.
Not according to purest fanboys. He's not the size of Danny DeVito... or as hairy, so automatically Hugh Jackman SUCKS.....
@@LukeLovesRose wolverine should have been short though, but not danny devito
"I can't even show you the scars, for all the times I've tried to kill myself" damn that line was heavy as hell by Wolverine. Really wished they would have put that in the movie
It does sound a bit melodramatic ,atleast to me, doesn't really really match with his personality
@@umairashraf5167 i get where you're coming from, but then again, he's lived a very tough life and i wouldn't put self-destruction past him. it sounds like something he would share in an extreme moment. this is just my opinion tho, you are obviously free to have your own. as someone struggling with suicidal thoughts imagining wolverine having troubles with the same thing kind of gives me strength and courage, so i might be biased too.
i mean, it's kind of in Logan
Disney would never add a line like that for their Wolverine in their MCU X-Men
Kind of too dark for the movie that was being made
Funny how before the movie cam out no one would think he would be able to play the role of wolverine, the last person you'd expect. Yet he does it almost perfectly
I would argue against that. I think he needs to be a lot more rabid. Jackman plays him like a rough cowboy. Singer is an awful director, Jackman was just Singers homoerotic version of Wolverine
Almost perfect? No, he IS perfect
PurplePyroPirate Pretty sure he has been taller in action cartoons and no one complained then
***** i agree kinda BUT I think they made him the romantic lead for higher demographics(Women) wolverine origins but that's Singers fault/choice not Jackmans.
i figured it be him everyone else was to old, or too tall
He seems like a neat guy. Hope he gets the job
Really rooting for this guy. Lol.
This guy will never pull it off.
So glad he got the role. He is perfect. He IS wolverine
But did you know he was NOT the original choice?? I talk about that with him in my interview a year ago
@@Lonstermash he wasn't. It was supposed to be Dougray Scott but because of his injuries in the set of Mission Impossible 2, he had to dropped out.

i am glad hugh jackman got the wolverine role because he embodies and captures his true essence and its fascinating to me how the most humble actor in hollywood is portraying the angriest characters ever created
Well said !
And now we cannot imagine another person who could have played this iconic role
Nope. So hard to believe that he did NOT originally get the part. I talked about that with him during my interview with him a year ago here on my channel
Love how sarcastically he says "Logan, what's yours?"
When he said "I didn't know where these came from" I really thought his claws were going to fly out
This man is beautiful.
Check out my interview with him a year ago
Reminds me of a young Clint Eastwood.
Holy shit, you just blew my mind.
appropriate since Wolverine in the comics is Clint Eastwood with claws.
Was wishing they would cast Clint as old man Logan in Days of Future Past. How epic would that be. Clint with Sir Ian Mckellen and Patrick Stewart
thats why clint's son should pick up the roll
LEGENDARY CJ Clint’s son has the fathers look and the mothers charisma and voice. When Clint WAS his voice and charisma his son then has nothing
.
Jackman could have played any hero and be great. You name it:Superman, Batman,...or James Bond, you name it. The guy looks like a hero in real life, he probably doesn't even have to work out more than he usually does. He wakes up,drinks a little coffe, and looks the part already.

Jackman does not fit everything, Superman is supposed to be a pretty man, Batman is supposed to be a rich man, Captain America is supposed to be a 40s looking person and etc
Jackman fits everything you said...he's pretty, rich, in his 40s...hence, my point is valid.
you really didnt understand "average 40s person" i should have made it "1940s" lol xd
and when i mean pretty, i meant like those ones from the old times where the wanted face for a man is a big butt chin, visible cheek bones, blue eyes, etc
Shave him, comb his hair 40s style, and there you go...Jackman, Jackman, Jackman...Don't tell me Jackman couldn't play Superman at the drop of a hat, because he could.
Bryan Singer: I'm putting together a team of people with special abilities. See I believe a bigger enemy is coming and....
Hugh Jackman: Stop right there, I'm in.

interesting.
He is really handsome
Thank you
RIP Logan, 1832-2029
Wait what?
god he's so adorable
Auditions always seem so awkward.
haha especially a guy reads the rogue part lol
Except Jim Carrey
raikiribreak the guy is Singer.
Ash White *whooosh*
It doesn't matter the audition reads, it doesn't matter how great the actor or actress- I always watch auditions and think to myself...
"How the hell can they figure out the person is perfect in the part with that?"

LoL- I don't envy people who have to cast movies...
Who come here after watching Logan? :((
HaTri me :(
Me
I came here after watching all X men movies
I love that everyone is making the "did he get the part" joke. You all know he didn't get the part originally right? Dougray Scott did but had to pull out so he got it. Just funny lol.
Hellopleesh I actually thought he got the part lol cz the director said he offered Hugh the role on the spot in comic con
That's right, but he was lucky to have a good manager to send him when they were under the wire.
I knew this and actually discussed it with Hugh when I interviewed him last year. Check out my interview video on my channel
nope. My video with Hugh explains how he got the part. It is a very heart warming story
And he had another stroke of luck. Check out my interview with him to find out what it was
Hugh Jackman on Jimmy Fallon 2020: "My audition for Wolverine was 20 seconds"
Everyone: "We've been watching your 10+ minute audition on CZcams for the past 10 years".

I cant stop looking at him , he's gorgeous o_O And I think Im looking at Logan the whole time, I forget he's Hugh Jackman, incredible actor
Is it just me or does Rogue kind of sound manly in this?
Singer is reading Rogue's lines
RobsReviews thanks captain obvious, it was a fucking joke
David Sosa I don't know if you're just trolling or if you really are stupid but that was a joke he told.
Hahaha
omfg, I'm dying here 😂😂😂😂
This is more like a cold-read than an audition.
That's how a conversation with real wolverine would probably go 😂
Lil did they know, he'd be THE one and ONLY Wolverine!
Right!!
Im soooo god damn pissed at him for saying he wont play Wolverine anymore >_X
He is the perfect embodiment of the real life version of Wolverine.
Then again, I do understand why he is quieting, BUT STILL >_
WolfFireheart don't be be pissed man he gave 17 years and like 9 films portraying Wolverine. It's sad but glad he gave us a bunch of material. He will always be wolverine.

I love the emotion in this audition.
I've been watching Hugh Jackman in Xmen since his first movie and I'M JUST NOW FINDING OUT HIS TRUE ACCENT IS AUSTRALIAN?!
Parsifal It’s okay. I grew up watching those movies and I only found out a few months ago that he’s Australian.
Cool 17 years, Hugh...
here from Logan anyone?
LanceAlot Ent. this is gonna get a ton of view just because of the Logan trailer.
LanceAlot Ent. i really hope they dont recast a wolverine. No one can play wolverine after hugh jackman
sure someone can. people just won't accept it until they get used to the idea.
LanceAlot Ent. yeah..watched the film times
Uh, he is soo young in this video
I know right ? I think it partly has to do with the lack of facial hair, but still..
I think he's 30 in the video. Young indeed.
lol thats not young
BoggessBroadway a little young
BoggessBroadway That's pretty young by today's standards
He also did great in Van Helsing movie
Damn he was so young
Every movie Hugh played in outside of an x-men film....always felt like he was still Wolverine
What really impressed me is Brian understands the character and the scene very well and explains them to Hugh who is also really open to understanding and changing to what he wants. (I love Hugh and he's a great actor but I just had the realization that Brian is doing really good)
Guy: "Wolverine is a bit shy"
Me: sobbing "I love you…"
he is just too perfect for wolverine cast.i would hate to see anyone replacing him.
Agreed, but I'd sure like an audition
Who came after watching LOGAN
❤❤❤
it's pretty awesome seeing how different he sounds here compared to in the movie. You can hear his accent in some of these lines, but in the movie you can't even tell
HUGH JACKMAN SHOULD BE THE NEW INDIANA JONES
i HATE Hugh Jackman for quitting the role.......i don't care how old he grows......he will ALWAYS be my Wolverine!!!!
Akash Raj he didn't quit, he retired so shut the fuck up
utkarsh sarkar why the fck are you concerned about my english?!
I'm not concerned about your English dumbass, quit and retire are have two different meanings
utkarsh sarkar well.....I miss him ....that's it.
Akash Raj he has cancer
I bet he never knew this character would take him this far
perfect audition
THANK YOU! I´ve heard about this clip and wanted to see it a long time! He´s so beautiful it´s almost unbearable to watch him... It´s interesting to see it when we all know what a success the movies have been and what a STAR he is today!
Hugh Jackman was perfectly cast as Logan / Wolverine and he was perfect for the role ! 😁 I cried so hard when i watched Logan because it was the last time we will see Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine and it was a fitting ending of the X-Men franchise .
Its amazing how Logan has changed and progressed on his Journey from X-Men to Logan .
It really does feel like Wolverine is immortal, because this guy has played the role for about a thousand years lol
its just awesome, we love u Hugh
Thank you for upload !!!!
he was born to be the Wolverine
You never know what life hides for you
It was great that Bryan Singer took the time to give Hugh Jackman in-depth pointers into the psyche of Wolverine; probably a sign that he's already rooting for the guy to play the part. This is history, guys!
Thank GOD! that Dougray Scott was doing MI2 and couldnt take the part.
ooh yyeessss oh yesss
AMEN to that!! Otherwise we would have missed out on Hugh playing the part (and my cosplay career would have never happened, lol). I discuss that with him in my interview a year ago
This is amazing!
Love it thanks for posting
i love him!
This was so interesting! Thanks for the post.
Love how he can just switch back and fourth between his accent and his american one...love him btw
"I can't even show you the scars from all the times I've tried to kill myself." 😭😭
0:o the beggining of a legend
Hey guys! Great news! He got the part!
A legend is born...
Now that Daniel Craig has stepped down, Hugh would make a perfect James Bond. Also since he’s done playing Wolverine, he can be committed to a new franchise/role.
This guy is so good you know he is perfect for the role.
So glad he got the part!!!!!! 3
After watching Swordfish...I so rooted for him.
The director talks too much and doesn't really make his point well. Hugh is being amazingly patient.
the man...the myth....the motherfucking legend.
top of the line acting, good looking too!
It doesn’t feel like auditioning, it feels like Logan just talking about himself.
It's a reading, not an audition. But interesting. If this was an audition, I doubt he would have been cast.
A reading means the same as an audition.
VakieF1 no it doesn't, they're completely different things...

I LOVE YOU!!!!
the audition that changed his life!!!
Hugh, is the BEST
Fingers crossed he owns the role, see you in 20 years
I love his magnetic voice💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️
Hugh is so young OMG OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!....
The 1999 calendar omgggggg cool they still have this footage
This and Downey's screen test for Iron Man are my favorite audition tapes
Imagine him as James Bond...
They did approach him but he refused
He'd be great as Bond
@@nik123698 Apparently Hugh said yes if they would go in a grittier darker route instead of a cheesy cartoony one like before and they said you have no say in this and Hugh declined after that. Funny part is Hugh was right... years later that's what they did anyway and it took off.
Hugh was damn cute back then... living in X-Men killed his cuteness.....🤔🤔🤔
and im not a gay btw...😅
He's so hot
awesome hugh jackman:):) you are the man!!!
Didn't know that, great. Bryan Singer is awesome
This is how many people can't wait to see Hugh come back
⬇
Where It all began😊😊
Wow look at the 1999 calendar. I was 10. The good old days
this was posted on my birthday
Bryan Singer's commentary made me want to watch the film series again :)
The way he says "Forest".
These are some great lines, too bad not all of them made it into the final cut.
Just be calm... everything else is the way you look and having some damn charisma!
Logan(2017) brought me here.
This Man.
He's not really changed much has he?! We still see that same old Hugh! Love him!
This is ABSOLUTELY NO OFFENSE to the man....He is AMAZING at his job and I adore him as Wolvi, BUT had i not know that this was an audition, i'd probably have thought it's just a VERY pissed #HughJackman having to put up with a conversation he doesn't enjoy AT ALL :D!!!
It's not really an "audition" per se. It's more of a reading. I agree with your sentiments, though. Check out my interview with him a year ago. Coolest day of my life
so nice to know australia has people like him. Makes me proud to be australian!
Wow he is very gorgeous in this. Totally see why he got the part. I'd seen him in Oklahoma in London and was stunned when he turned up in X-Men.
The concept art in the background :)
