Hugh Jackman is bijna (25 mei) weer te zien in Brett Ratners X-Men: The Last Stand, en de Austaliër heeft daarnaast ook nog een spin-off lopen: een prequel over zijn personage Wolverine. De film, die hij zelf produceert, wordt momenteel geschreven door David Benioff (Troy).
"We have two drafts and David is going to do another draft, and then we'll find our director. I'm not going to make a decision until I have the script right, but I'll definitely look at Brett. I don't want Wolverine to appear to be X-Men 4 in disguise; I don't want to make it stylistically the same. I want to do something different. That's my idea. Until we have the script, I don't really know who's right, but there's been a lot of interest from a lot of really amazing directors, so I'm really excited."
