In a recent appearance on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” actor Hugh Jackman opened up about the grueling six-month fitness regimen he undergoes to embody the iconic Marvel character, Wolverine, in the upcoming movie “Deadpool 3.”

The 54-year-old star shared insights into his preparation process, emphasizing the importance of taking time to achieve the desired superhero physique. “I’ve learned you can’t rush it. I’ve learned that it takes time,” Jackman explained, according to People. “So, we have six months from when I finish [Broadway’s “The Music Man”] to when I start filming.

Currently showcasing his talents on Broadway in “The Music Man,” Jackman highlighted the physical benefits of performing in the acclaimed stage production. The actor remarked on his current fitness level, attributing it to the rigorous demands of the Broadway show. “And I’m really fit right now. There’s one thing that about eight shows a week being on Broadway singing and dancing, is I’m fit. So, I’m healthy. I have a good place to start,” Jackman humorously expressed to Wallace.

Having first portrayed Wolverine in “X-Men” back in 2000, Jackman has since reprised the role multiple times, with “Deadpool 3” marking his return to the big screen as the beloved mutant hero. Set for release in November 2024, the film promises to deliver another thrilling chapter in the Deadpool franchise.

In a nod to his previous commitment to transforming into Wolverine, Jackman reflected on the intense workout routine he followed back in 2016. The actor outlined a challenging 12-week schedule involving strategic phases of bulking and cutting, aimed at sculpting his physique to embody the fierce superhero.

With his dedication and determination on full display, Hugh Jackman’s unwavering commitment to portraying Wolverine showcases his passion for the character and the cinematic universe in which he thrives. As fans eagerly anticipate his return in “Deadpool 3,” the actor’s impressive physical transformation serves as a testament to his unparalleled work ethic and dedication to his craft.
