Hugh Jackman talks 'X-Men: Days of Future Past' filming, plot, characters and more in new interview!

Considering the fact that Hugh Jackman has portrayed the character Wolverine for 14 years now, we all generally believe he's the best actor with whom to talk all things X-Men. With Days of Future Past hitting theaters this week, io9 got the chance to sit down with the Academy Award nominated star to talk about the upcoming film and how he sees it fitting in with the rest of the franchise.

"I think that this [movie] is one of my favorites, so this is a good way to talk about this," Jackman stated when asked about what he thinks it takes to make a good X-Men movie. "Obviously the resources of this one are bigger than ever. It's the biggest movie of all. Biggest amount of cast, but that presents its own challenges, actually. Because it's very difficult to have to many characters and make them worthwhile and pay off."

If Jackman considers this film to be the best of the franchise, we're definitely on board. Though, early reviews of the movie hit Twitter earlier in the month and it seemed like everybody agrees with the Les Miserables actor on this. Read more on this HERE!

"I'm talking about character because that's at the core of X-Men, and has always been at the core of X-Men," he continued. "Not just who's dating who, and who is having what problem, but really down to the core of who they are and what challenges them in life. As incredible as their superpowers may be, it's really about their vulnerabilities - how frail and human they are, the mistakes they make. That's why people relate to it, I think, so much. So, for an X-Men movie, no matter how many characters, no matter how big the spectacle, there is a very personal character arc. And also thematically at its core there are these ideas of tolerance, acceptance, of discrimination. There are very political things that are there, and if you don't address those, you're doing it a disservice as well. At the same time, as this emotion which you get out of the character [there has to be] some humor, it's gotta be fun. That Pentagon kitchen scene, to me, is so amazing. So cool."
