"The rights to the mutants and the Fantastic Four coming back to Marvel Studios in a little bit over a year from now - thanks to to the Disney/Fox deal - creates a lot of storytelling possibilities for Kevin Feige and his cohorts in the company. It opens up a lot of print narrative to finally be adapted to the big screen without feeling like both Fox and Marvel are scaling down considering that they are hampered by the great character divide. Among the slew of possibilities, perhaps the most popular one is seeing Jackman's Wolverine rubbing elbows with Earth's Mightiest Heroes and maybe even the Guardians of the Galaxy. Unfortunately, there is just one caveat to this, the Oscar-nominated actor has already walked away from his iconic role last year, via the critically acclaimed Logan.
Appearing at the Ace Comic-Con panel (via We Got This Covered) with Marvel co-stars Chris Evans and Anthony Mackie, Stan shared - perhaps a bit too much - when it comes to alleged talks of Jackman reprising his role as Wolverine in the MCU. And despite the 49-year-old being adamant about hanging up his Adamantium-claws, his recent conversation with the Romanian-American actor sings a different tune when it comes to the matter:
Judging by Stan's story, it seems like there might be conversations happening behind closed doors to try and cajole Jackman out of his superhero retirement to reprise Wolverine under the MCU. Obviously, the actor did not say anything concrete about it but the fact that he is openly talking about the possibility is a good indication that Feige and his team are working their magic to turn this fan-clamored scenario into fruition. The idea of the Australian actor's version of the claw-wielding mutant engaging in banter with Tony Stark, sharing war stories with Steve Rogers and Bucky, as well as scuffling with Hulk have long been the dream for many Marvel loyalists. Thor actor, Chris Hemsworth, himself happens to also be on board with this campaign, revealing that he'll reach out to his fellow Aussie himself to convince him to un-retire."
"The BBFC said this was a lower number of complaints over a film’s classification than in previous years, as some often attract “between 40 and 50 complaints”.
The organisation said in its report that its guidelines “permit strong violence at 15 provided it does not dwell on the infliction of pain or injury” and that, while the violence in Logan is “strong and frequently bloody, it is also rapidly edited with a focus on action rather than sadism”.
The big screen release’s “fantastical setting and super-powered central character” were also cited in distancing the violence from reality.
According to the BBFC’s report on age ratings in 2017, there were a total of 262 complaints received about its classification decisions overall, a drop from the 371 complaints the previous year.
Padmaavat, a Hindi-language period-drama film classified as 12A, received 10 complaints with concerns that it misrepresented a revered figure in India.
Action thriller Atomic Blonde, starring Charlize Theron and rated 15, attracted eight complaints regarding its “violence and to a lesser extent its sexual content and language”."

"It appears that Hugh Jackman is walking down a stairwell in a hotel or apartment building when he hears the song "A Million Dreams" coming from the door to the floor as he passes it. Clearly, this person is enjoying their music, as Jackman must be hearing the song through a pair of doors. He jokes in his Twitter video about knocking on the door but decides that it would inappropriate, and while that might technically be true, I have a feeling this person would not have had a problem with opening their hotel room door to find Hugh Jackman telling them he likes their taste in music.
The Greatest Showman, Hugh Jackman's musical inspired by the life of P.T. Barnum, has had a remarkable life for a movie that was never number one at the box office. It grossed over $430 million globally and hung around the top 10 for months, eventually becoming the third highest grossing domestic musical of all time, behind perennial favorite Grease and the blockbuster remake of Beauty and the Beast.
This isn't the only time, even recently, when The Greatest Showman has invaded Hugh Jackman's personal life. Just days ago, the actor was out to eat with his Showman co-star Keala Settle when a pair of songs from the film began to play in the restaurant. According to reports, Jackman and his party began to sing along, giving the assembled diners a little impromptu concert.
The song in question, "A Million Dreams" is an early song in the film which works as a montage. It starts with Jackman's Barnum as a boy trying to find his way in the world and follows him as he grows into the adult actor. Give it a listen below."
"Kind of weird when you're walking down a stairwell and you're tempted to knock on someone's door and say that's my song," Jackman said in a video he posted on social media. "Don't worry I'm not going to do it!"
He labeled the video "A million dreams..."
Whoever was listening to it must have really been into the song, because it is clearly audible from the hall Jackman is in while he appears to be heading out for a bike ride.
Jackman played P.T. Barnum in the 2017 hit that also starred Michelle Williams, Zac Efron and Rebecca Ferguson.
The film, the song "This Is Me" and Jackman were all nominated for Golden Globes. "This Is Me" won the Golden Globe for the best original song - motion picture and also was nominated for a best original song Oscar. "
