Hugh Jackman almost quit making the X-Men movies.
Wolverine was the role that shot Jackman to superstardom back in 2000, which led to two further movies.
But Jackman had grown frustrated with the franchise and the portrayal of his character that he considered turned his back on the role to pursue other projects.
In an interview with The Daily Express the actor said: "One thing I never felt we got with Wolverine that I really wanted to get is that berserker rage which is talked about in the comic books."
"It felt like Wolverine had got a little soft by X-Men 3 and I wanted to take it back to that bad a** quality. He’s tough, he’s gruff, he’s not politically correct - he doesn’t say the right things.
"There has to be complexity to this character. He’s very tough but there’s a lot of pain, history to his life that you find out about. It’s not pretty.
"He’s a flawed character. That’s what I like about it, that’s why I’m doing it for the fourth time or else I wouldn’t."
However this week Jackman reprises the role once more in X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the first spin off to the original series of movies.
