Wolverine, now beloved
By Borys Kit
Comic-Con -- Comic-Con had its first taste of pandemonium (though there were soon many others -- see our Comic-Con page here for full coverage) when Hugh Jackman showed up at the tail end of Fox's presentation. While there were whispers that some kind of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" aspect would make an appearance, to the majority of the 6,500-person hall it was still a surprise, and they went berserk.
"I know what you're thinking," Jackman said. "This guy is way too tall to play Wolverine." a reference to fan reaction almost a decade ago when it was announced he would be playing the diminutive X-Men character.
Jackman said he wanted to be here "because without you guys I wouldn't have a career." and then he did something actors, and Hollywood types in general, don't do very often: He thanked a comic creator.
Jackman singled out "Wolverine" co-creator Len Wein, who stood up to cheers, and then waded into the crowd to shake the writer's hands. "From that hand came the character that gave me my career," he said.
Then he showed a made-for-Comic-Con trailer that killed. The crowd went wild when characters like Gambit and Deadpool were seen for a split second.
Jackman's appearance was brief but had Fox's desired effect: to win over skeptics and satiate fans.
"I am no longer suspect or angry about the movie," said one girl.
Ha - pretty awesome of him to show up. Must have been a lovely surprise for everyone.

Wow! They actually got Hugh Jackman to go to a ComicCon! They must be paying him a pile of money for Wolverine.
