Hugh Jackman has offered fans an update on his training as he prepares to step back into the role of superhero Wolverine. The Australian actor shared a black and white clip of himself in a gym doing an intense-looking core workout.
With a large weight placed on his back, Jackman rolls back and forth in the plank position, smiling and thanking his trainer despite the strain. He captioned the video: “If you’re looking for me. I’m #becomingwolverineagain.”
The actor is set to reprise his famous role as the bad-tempered and almost indestructible Wolverine in the latest instalment of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool franchise. Jackman has played the Marvel character in eight X-Men films from 2000 until 2016, and was last seen as Wolverine in standalone movie Logan in 2017.
