James Mangold Isn’t Interested in Hugh Jackman Reprising Wolverine Simply For a Big Paycheck or Fan Service

There has been plenty of fan speculation since the announcement that Marvel Studios would be rebooting the X-Men in their own cinematic universe that somehow Hugh Jackman could be convinced to play the part for one more decade or a couple of films. However, Hugh has retired from the role, there is also some apprehension coming from The Wolverine and Logan director James Mangold too in a recently interview.

While speaking with Comic Book, the director laid out a convincing stance on why Marvel Studios and Hugh Jackman shouldn’t bring back his version of Wolverine without a very good reason or strong story.
