Hugh Jackman explained how his disastrous Wolverine audition led him to meet Kevin Feige, which changed his career.
Hugh Jackman has become synonymous with the character Wolverine , a role he’s played since X-Men in 2000. However, there’s an alternate universe where Jackman never dons Wolverine ’s signature claws and cigar.

With the filming of X-Men underway, the studio needed to find a new actor to play Wolverine quickly. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Jackman recalled his terrible audition in front of director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Tom DeSanto.
Discouraged by his audition, Jackman was ready to leave for the airport until someone intervened. That person was Kevin Feige, who was working as an assistant for producer Lauren Shuler Donner. Feige knew Donner was excited about Jackman, so the future Marvel Studios President took the Australian actor to dinner with DeSanto. “I didn’t want to just send him out into the cold,” Feige said about why he brought Jackman to dinner.
