Despite all the dithering he’s been doing over whether or not he’ll play Wolverine again, Hugh Jackman has made some positive noises about adapting Mark Millar's 2008 comic book run, ‘Old Man Logan’.



Speaking to Vulture, the actor admitted the storyline was a possibility “because I am rapidly approaching Old Man Logan,” adding: "It does, some mornings, feel like the most appropriate way to go. That's in the mix of discussions, yeah."









The actor also admitted that there’s adaptation potential in his character’s upcoming comic book arc ‘The Death of Wolverine’, by Charles Soule and Steve McNiven.



“I'm really looking forward to reading it, actually, and see what they come up with,” said Jackman. “But let's not forget, I don't know how many origin stories there are, six origins? So if there's six origins [laughs], I think it's maybe safe to say there could be more than one demise story, if you know what I mean! Wolverine has been killed before, hasn't he?

“I think, to make the genre relevant, and to keep people interested, the stakes have to be real. There has to be some danger. And I think you have to do the unexpected. I was a little shocked when I read they were killing Wolverine off in the comics, and I was wondering how I would feel if I had actually been playing him for like the last 40 years.



“Actually, I'm in touch with [creator] Len Wein. I should get his opinion about it, and see what he thinks! But my gut feeling is that it won't be the end-end. These are characters that have become iconic, and that's great. But I can guarantee — the character can live beyond an actor! Even if I do another 22 movies, there will be someone else playing him!”

Speaking of which, Jackman also addressed the umm-ing and ahh-ing that he’s been doing over returning to the role.



“I don't want to lie and say I'm definitely doing the next one,” he admitted. “Since X-Men 1 and 2, where I had a two-picture deal, I haven't made the decision until I've seen the script and know who the director is. And I don't have scripts yet.













“But I am working with Jim [Mangold] on another Wolverine movie, and I would like that to happen. I feel like the scripts and story lines are getting better and better. I'm really excited to see what we can come up with together, and working with him, to find something from scratch. And already he's come up with an outline for something that is completely different for Wolverine.



“There's no point in doing it if you're like, ‘Eh, it's sort of there…’ And everyone will say yes to it because it's got a following, but I want to keep it up there, for me and for the fans, out of respect. So I won't sign on until we see it.



“But I'll be very honest. Would I like it to happen? Yes. Do I want it to happen? Yeah, because I'm enjoying it. But I do know there is a use-by date to all this stuff, you know? I don't know when that day will be, but I want to make sure that there's still more for me to create that I'm still as passionate about and committed to it, and that the movies are as good. As long as all that lines up, I don't see an end date yet.”



‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ is in cinemas now.
