WOLVERINE Was Almost In SPIDER-MAN

Hugh Jackman’s been on a roll with all of his superhero movie gossip, revealing yesterday that Christopher Nolan was shocked by Bryan Singer’s first X-Men movie, and now Jackman’s shared another great anecdote. During Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man shoot, Jackman and a few of his mutant brethren tried to sneak into the shots as walk-on cameos. Unfortunately, they forgot their X-Men uniforms at home, so they were turned away.

Well, that, and money problems (what else would you expect?). Jackman explains the full story below:

“In the first “Spider-Man” — Kevin Feige reminded me of this — 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’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’t get it together. So, you know, I actually asked some high level people about it. Because the optimist in me goes, “Why not? Why can’t we do it? You know, a split cast or whatever?” 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’s great about it is they’re just mashing together all the time — and it’s awesome. And people are like, “Yeah, well, let’s get this one with that!” And, you know, I still think, one day, there may be an ability to do it.”

I would literally donate my right Kidney to the shrine of Feige if he’d allow Wolverine to star in a proper Marvel superhero movie. How about a New Avengers flick? Wolvie, Spider-Man, Captain America, and a few other misfits. Feige, if you somehow bring that movie into existence, I’ll throw in an extra organ, just for you.
