The film is the third stand alone "Wolverine" movie in the
comic superhero franchise, which has had various sequels and new
casts since Jackman first played Wolverine/Logan in "X-Men",
alongside Patrick Stewart's wheelchair-bound Professor Xavier.
"I'm excited to see...what happens next with whoever takes
on...the claws and battles," Jackman told a news conference in
Beijing on Wednesday where he and Stewart promoted "Logan".
"I know there would be more people, there should be more people,
both Professor Xavier and Logan are great characters, they are
great heroes but also complex characters and I think they should
be played by many people."
In the movie, Logan/Wolverine is trying to hide away on the
Mexican border while caring for Professor X, played by Stewart.
Things change, however, with the arrival of a new young mutant.
"All of the principal characters, at least the good guys in this
movie, have one ambition - they want to get across a border to
somewhere where they would be safe," Stewart said.
"All around the world there are hundreds of thousands of people
experiencing that pain, that suffering, the fear and the
loneliness. This film addresses that and may even give some
touch of hope of optimism to what can be a very discouraging not
to say desperate situation."
"Logan" begins its worldwide cinema roll out this week.
