Hugh Jackman Talks X-Men: Apocalypse

During an interview about Hugh Jackman's upcoming film Chappie, Collider did their best to get Jackman to talk about X-Men: Apocalypse. Surprisingly, it turns out that Jackman doesn't appear to know much about the film yet.

When asked if he would have a lighter work load because Mystique and Magneto's romance was going to be front and center in the film, Hugh Jackman replied, "I don't know. I haven't read a script. I don't know where you're getting this from."

Jackman added, "These are one of those secrets that are between me and the big man who knows all, the head of the NSA. Not even the head of the NSA knows this one actually. How do you like that one?"

Could the fact that Jackman hasn't gotten a script yet be a hint that Wolverine has a smaller role in X-Men: Apocalypse? If Wolverine had as large a role as he did in X-Men: Days of Future Past and the film was going to take up a significant amount of Jackman's time, then it would seem likely that director Bryan Singer would have already given Jackman a script as part of selling him on the project.

X-Men: Apocalypse is scheduled to premiere in movie theaters on May 27, 2016.
