Someone Told Hugh Jackman About The World Record He Lost Thanks To Blade, And His Response Was As Sharp As Wolverine’s Claws

by

Okay, let’s talk Hugh Jackman. The guy is Wolverine, plain and simple. He first stepped into those claws way back in 2000 with X-Men, and we’ve been watching him play Logan ever since – right up to the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine. For years, that meant he held the record for playing the same superhero the longest, but apparently, Wesley Snipes just snatched that title with Blade! I recently read Jackman found out about it, and his reaction was perfect – quick-witted and hilarious, exactly what you’d expect from him.

Hugh Jackman used to hold the record for playing a live-action Marvel superhero for the longest time – 24 years as of 2024. But Wesley Snipes, who first played Blade in 1998, recently reclaimed the title. Snipes appeared alongside Jackman in a recent film, bringing his total time as a Marvel character to 26 years. When BuzzFeed UK pointed out Jackman’s lost record, he responded with humor, as shown in a video on Instagram.

Honestly, if I’d known he was like this, I would have cut him off a long time ago. I really wish I had. I’m actually removing him as a friend right this second – I’m done.

Hugh Jackman is known for his sense of humor – it makes sense, considering his playful rivalry with Ryan Reynolds. While promoting his movie Song Sung Blue, Jackman was asked about regaining a certain title, and he jokingly suggested it would come down to who lived the longest. You can see his funny response in the video.

Hugh Jackman is a talented actor, but Wesley Snipes is equally impressive and brings a powerful presence to his roles. He’s a natural fit for the character of the Daywalker, and fans were excited to see him return as Brooks in 2024, even if the original Blade writer was surprised by the cameo. Snipes’ appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine was a special moment not only for him, but also for Ryan Reynolds, who starred in and produced the film.

Wolverine’s return was a huge highlight, and Hugh Jackman has shared that Ryan Reynolds played a big part in convincing him to play the character again. With major Marvel movies like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars on the horizon, fans are constantly asking Jackman if he’ll return as Logan. He’s said he wouldn’t completely dismiss the idea, but he’s mostly been keeping details to himself.

Disney+ now has Deadpool & Wolverine and many other Marvel movies available to stream. You can get a subscription with ads for as little as $11.99 per month, or choose an ad-free plan for $18.99 per month. Alternatively, you can save 16% by paying $189.99 for a full year. See the deal here.

If Hugh Jackman reprises his role as Wolverine, he might reclaim the title of most appearances as a Marvel character – unless Wesley Snipes decides to return as Blade. But given how jokingly he reacted to losing the record in the first place, it seems like these achievements aren’t a big deal to him. And honestly, I admire an actor who can laugh at themselves and doesn’t take things too seriously.

You can watch Hugh Jackman and Wesley Snipes in Deadpool & Wolverine on Disney+. The streaming service also has other movies connected to the X-Men universe.
