In a new video, Marco from Nerdkultur talks about the actor Hugh Jackman in his great role as Wolverine. MeinMMO reveals how he got there and what his journey with the Marvel hero looked like.
Who is Marco Risch? Marco Risch has been uploading videos with news, reviews, analyses, and interviews about current movies, series, and video games on his YouTube channel Nerdkultur since 2015.
In his Podcast Nerd & Kultur he chats every Sunday with his colleague Yves Arievich about topics like Star Wars, Marvel, and DC. Both are part of the Webedia network, of which MeinMMO is also a part.
In a new video, Marco now talks about Hugh Jackman in his iconic role as Wolverine and the personal journey of the actor:
How did Hugh Jackman actually become Wolverine? Marco provides answers to this question in his video. Hugh Jackman was actually not the first choice for Wolverine, even though today it’s hard to imagine any other actor in that role.
After his first audition, Jackman was convinced he would never see his colleagues again. In the video, you will find out why he later ended up getting the role and why we owe this to actor Tom Cruise.
Little time to get into the new role
Hugh Jackman was put into the role so spontaneously that the actor was still in his self-discovery phase during filming. One reason why he always feared being fired. Luckily for the films and fans, this didn’t happen, as X-Men became a huge success – also thanks to Jackman.
In the video, Marco further discusses Jackman’s personal journey in the Marvel Universe. How the actor, at the age of 55, can still embody the role of Wolverine so well, who his role models for the mutant’s fighting style are, and how Wolverine went from a “small supporting character from the source material to the larger-than-life figure representing several generations of X-Men”. Marco here talks about another actor who perfectly captured his role: After this, you will see The Silence of the Lambs in a new light
