Hugh Jackman Recalls Nearly Getting Fired From First X-Men Movie
Movie NewsHugh Jackman was nearly fired as Wolverine in 2000's X-Men and he's recalling that experience and the advice he received to save his role.
Cooper Hood is a news writer for Screen Rant. He joined Screen Rant in late 2016 following a year-plus long stint with MCU Exchange, which came after first developing a blog of his own. He graduated college in 2016 with a Bachelor's degree in Media & Public Communication, with a minor in Media Production. Earliest movie memories include watching Toy Story and Lion King on repeat, but it wasn't until The Avengers that he took an invested interest in movies and the filmmaking process. Every year Cooper looks forward to seeing the latest blockbusters from Marvel, Star Wars, and others, but also loves the rush to catch up on Oscar films near the end of the year. When he isn't writing news articles (and a feature here and there) for Screen Rant, Cooper spends most of his time watching Netflix or recording the latest episode of his podcast.
