Given how comfortable Jackman has gotten with Wolverine, it’s hard to imagine him struggling to find his way inside that particular character.
Rothman’s words obviously hit their mark because Jackman would go on to not only find Wolverine but turn his performance into an iconic portrayal.
Even despite some not-so-great spinoffs, Jackman’s Wolverine has remained a compelling creation for over fifteen years.
Jackman must feel a tremendous sense of satisfaction all these years later, especially after his initial problems figuring out how to play his most iconic role.
