“Unreal”: Fitness World Dumbfounded to See 55-YO Hugh Jackman Choosing Old-School Bodybuilding Over “CGI” to Return as Wolverine

When Hugh Jackman called it quits to portray Wolverine in 2017, fans were disheartened to the core. They almost believed that Jackman’s 17-year stint as the tri-clawed X-Man ended. But the 55-year-old joined hands with Ryan Reynolds to bring back his iconic character to life, one more time. The heroes ramped up their efforts to portray their roles in Deadpool 3.

The SAG AFTRA and WGA strikes have halted the functioning of production houses in Hollywood for a few months. One of the films that was stalled is Deadpool 3. But as the double strike ended, the films are resuming their shoot. So, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are hitting the gym to ace their superhero physiques.

Marvel Cinematic Universe is known to bring characters with exceptional powers to life on the screen. Though their powers to protect the world vary, the shredded avatars of the super saviors or villains remain constant. Hugh Jackman’s character Wolverine is iconically known for its jacked appearance.

To recreate the magic once again, the 55-year-old is back to training at the gym. The internet went frenzy when the Australian actor’s 8000-calorie diet for Deadpool 3 became viral. But Jackman is turning heads with his latest training video. 

The iconic actor is deadlifting heavy weights at the gym and captioned his post, “LFG #becomingwolverineagain(again).” Fans were impressed how the actor is undergoing an intense bodybuilding routine instead of opting for computer-generated imagery to transform himself into Wolverine at 55.

While anticipation to witness the clash of Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds was never off, stars are setting phenomenal expectations with their workout regimes. “Unreal. Could cgi himself into a beast but taking the long road. Love it,” wrote a fan appreciating Jackman’s efforts.

“Be gentle with those weights they are scared,” joked a Wolverine fan. However, a concerned fan expressed, “Hey careful! In 50’s lifting heavy weight could be dangerous. Take care…” “Can this be true… I don’t believe what I see! A man your age… to be as strong as you are… a memory stirs!!!! You make me think of a man… from years ago… a man that starred in Les Miserables,” exclaimed a fan in disbelief. “I would kill to be able to do that!!” asserted another influenced by Jackman’s strength.
