VIDEO: Hugh Jackman Chats Appearing in Next X-MEN Film: 'I Have Been Speaking to the Guys'

THE RIVER's Hugh Jackman stopped by Josh Horowitz's Happy Sad Confused podcast this week and spoke about the possibility of showing up in his iconic role of Woverine in the upcoming "X-MenApocalypse," scheduled to hit theaters in two years.

"I have been speaking to the guys, and I'm not at liberty to tell exactly what's going on," he said, "which is largely framing my answer here."

He continued, "But there's still a lot unknown about that, actually. There are some very exciting things about integrating the whole X-Men world, including the Wolverine movie. There's some really cool things going on."
