Hugh Jackman has revealed that he is 'heartbroken' over the leak of his new movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

The film was leaked last week and although the film has now been removed it is believed that the film may have been downloaded 100,000 times.

20th Century Fox, the studio behind the movie, which is the first spin off from the hit X-Men movie and sees Hugh Jackman reprise his role as Logan, called in the FBI to investigate the leak.

The forty year old actor is about to embark on a world tour to promote the movie and he said in a news conference in Australia: "It's a serious crime and there's no doubt it's very disappointing -- I was heartbroken by it."

"Obviously people are seeing an unfinished film. It's like a Ferrari without a paint job. The FBI are onto it and they're taking it very, very seriously"

There were rumours that the visual effects team behind the movie were to blame for the link but they denied this in a statement earlier this week.

The leaked material was an incomplete and early version of the film with several special effect scenes and musical score missing.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is released 29th April.
