The role of James Bond is one of the most iconic in cinema history, with the constant discussion around who will take on the mantle next seems to keep many entertained for years. Hugh Jackman was also once considered for the role before it was taken by Daniel Craig, though the Australian actor wasn’t exactly jumping at the chance.
The offer was put to Jackman in his early heyday playing the now iconic character of Wolverine. Under Jackson’s magnificent performances as the character, the clawed mutant has become almost as big an action star as 007, arguably more so in the eyes of many Marvel fans. It makes sense then, that having watched him play that character, audiences and casting directors could see him in the role of James Bond. Despite having the option to play two of the world’s biggest action stars at once, Jackson felt that this wasn’t the route for him.
