Wolverine.
You know him, you love him. Even if you're a casual movie watcher, chances are you've seen Wolverine and you are, like the rest of us, blown away by Hugh Jackman's performance.
He was either doing small films or Broadway shows.
Marvel hiring him was completely out of left field.
The movie was a massive success and basically started the superhero movie trend.
The character is angry, ruthless, and yet kind and caring, and Hugh depicted all of that perfectly.
The movie was brilliant, point blank.
There is not one bad word to say about it. Hugh delivered the most dramatic performance to the hero possible.
In fact, Hugh was nearly fired from the role.
I know, it's shocking.
"I was about to get fired from my first Hollywood movie - the biggest of my career. I was angry, I went home to my wife and I complained." Hugh said.
She told him, "You are worrying way too much about what everything else is thinking. Just go back to the character, focus on that, trust your instinct... you've got this."
Imagine if Hugh Jackman hadn't ended up as the Wolverine?
That would have robbed us of the magnificent performance. Thank god he didn't get fired!
