Hugh Jackman talks about the X-Men movie legacy after years of Bryan Singer allegations. 'In terms of comic-book movies and I think there’s a lot to be proud of. And there’s certainly questions to be asked and I think they should be asked.'
Content warning: This article contains discussions of sexual violence.Hugh Jackman talks perspective on the X-Men movies after the numerous allegations against director Bryan Singer over the past few years. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has come a long way, but they were not the first shared universe for superheroes on the big screen. In the early 2000s, back when Marvel Studios didn't have the rights to the X-Men, the iconic mutants were brought to life cinematically.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY One of the stars of the X-Men franchise is Jackman, who portrayed Logan, a.k.a Wolverine, for almost 20 years offers his complex feelings over the series' legacy. In a recent interview with The Guardian, the Australian star was asked if Jackman sees Singer's misconduct allegations as having tainted the X-Men films.
“You know, that’s a really, really complicated question. There’s a lot of things at stake there. X-Men was the turning point, I believe, in terms of comic-book movies and I think there’s a lot to be proud of. And there’s certainly questions to be asked and I think they should be asked. But I guess I don’t know how to elegantly answer that. I think it’s complex and ultimately I look back with pride at what we’ve achieved and what momentum that started.
More rape allegations were brought up about Singer in 2019 when four men came out with stories about the director. Singer had allegedly sexually assaulted them when they were minors. While Singer has continued to deny all allegations over the years, Hollywood severed ties with him. Even though Singer has kept producer titles on projects that came out before 2020, he has not worked on anything since then.
The X-Men Movies Remain A Superhero Genre Milestone Outside the Singer controversies, the X-Men films still remain a massive milestone for the superhero genre, especially in the early 2000s. Before the MCU was even a thing, the X-Men and Spider-Man properties were part of raising the comic book genre on the big screen. After Batman & Robin flopped in the 1990s, it was seemingly the end of the superhero adventure cinematically.
