Hugh Jackman reads blogs, apparently. After a few worrisome comments were published in the venerated movie blog Ain’t It Cool News, Hugh sent an email (and a hawt promo pic) to the folks at Ain’t It Cool that tried to put fans’ fears to rest and explain why some scenes had to be reshot for the upcoming movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Here is the full text of Hugh‘s letter along with the kickass promo pic of some of the X-Men O.G.s (ie. original gangstas) that will be featured alongside Hugh‘s Wolverine in the new movie:
Hey Mate- Would you mind posting this? Thank you for your support! HJ
Hey everyone -
It’s Hugh Jackman, sending this note from freezing Vancouver. I have read a lot of your online comments regarding the footage that we are currently shooting and I share your passion for the Wolverine character and the movie – I owe it all to you guys!
I wanted to reach out and let you know that due to scheduling conflicts with certain cast members and location/weather considerations, we had to wait until now to shoot a couple of scenes. Please rest assured that WOLVERINE will be badass and hopefully meet all of your expectations. I am stoked by the positive response to the teaser, which clearly reflects the tone and scope of the film. If you like that, we’ve got much more in store!
In the meantime, here’s an exclusive shot of some characters you may recognize…
Cheers,
Hugh
Um, HOLY SHIZZ! Can you imagine getting an email from Hugh Jackman? Lordy, I think I’d die … but I’m totes digressing. I think it is really smart of Hugh Jackman to try and nip speculation on the film’s reshoots as soon as possible. Once bad buzz gets going on the Internets, it’s very difficult to undo the damage. I’m not sure that his explanatory email will satisfy all concerns by some of the fans but I think it’ll help some. It’s really very cool of him to to send off an email to try and address fans directly. The photo that came along with the email is pretty sick … it features from left to right: Wade Wilson/Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds), Remy LeBeau/Gambit (Taylor Kitsch), Logan/Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Victor Creed/Sabretooth (Liev Schreiber) and Silver Fox (Lynn Collins). Reshoots or not, the film opens in theaters on May 1. I’m already ready. Personally, I have no doubt that the film will be as “badass” as Hugh promises.

Eeeeeee! So excited! Thanks for posting this.
I totally didn’t even recognize Ryan in that picture! Damn has he been hitting the gym! Now I’m even more jealoous of Scarlett!
good. freakin. GOD
ie. Taylor Kitsch.
yuuuuum.
the end.
Dizzayum Ryan!!! That damn is Scarlett is lucky as hell…. they may be my new favorite-couple-I-wanna-have-a-threesome-with. Hugh is a perennial favorite of mine, I like him sweaty and scruffy! Even Leiv Schreiber looks sexier than usual but it could be just residual heat being reflected from HUGH’S AMAZINGLY HAWT ARMS!!!!
I hate that the Xmen universe is the only thing I’m a purist about. I just hope it turns out better than the last two Xmen movies and does the Marvel-verse justice. For me it’s all coming down to Tayler’s attempt of a Cajun accent.
Dag. Taylor Kitsch’s cheekbones are so sharp I thought he was a girl.
