The globetrotting stars of X-Men: Days of Future Past are racing to premiere events on nearly every continent. Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) and Peter Dinklage (Bolivar Trask) brought the X-Men experience to Melbourne, Australia.

 

Jackman and Dinklage took fan questions and even ones from co-stars Patrick Stewart, Ellen Page and Shawn Ashmore with host Marc Fennell.

 

The two stars share some comic moments of life on set filming the massive sequel but Jackman may have my favorite recollection of working with Christopher Nolan on The Prestige before two rival super hero franchises were born.

  X-Man Logan’s next 80 million dollar movie adventure in Japan will shoot in star Hugh Jackman’s native country. Fox’s The Wolverine will start shooting in August in Sydney said the New South Wales Deputy Premier according to The Hollywood Reporter.

 “I couldn’t be more excited to return to Australia to film the next chapter in the Wolverine saga, thanks to the significant support from the federal and NSW governments,” Jackman said. “It will be great to work with the highly talented crew and to provide employment opportunities to so many people across all levels of the industry. Not to mention, [wife] Deb and I will get to spend some time with the family back in Australia.”

  The film has been said to be based on the first Wolverine limited series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. Logan is currently wrapping up an adventure in Japan in his solo comic book series by Jason Aaron.

  James Mangold is directing. Let the casting speculation begin for the Silver Samurai, Lady Mariko, Yukio and maybe the Viper!
