==Trivia==
*Pirates of the Caribbean writer and co-creator Stuart Beattie originally wrote Captain Jack Sparrow with Jackman in mind for the role."Hugh Jackman Could’ve Been Captain Jack Sparrow if Not for This Reason". Collider.
*Jackman was originally offered the role of Tony Stark/Iron Man in , but Robert Downey Jr. was cast instead.
*He was also considered for the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi in . However, Ewan McGregor was cast in the end."6 Actors Who Almost Played Obi-Wan Kenobi In Star Wars". Screen Rant.
*Jackman, at 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in), stands 30 cm taller than Wolverine, who is said in the original comic book to be only 1.60 m (5 ft 3 in). Hence, the filmmakers were frequently forced to shoot Jackman at unusual angles or only from the waist up to make him appear shorter than he actually is, and his co-stars wore platform shoes.
*He was rumored to play Scar in the 2019 CGI remake of The Lion King, but said rumors were proven false.
*In 2017, Jackman appeared in the non-Disney musical film with actors Zac Efron and Zendaya, who both left the Disney Channel in 2009 and 2015 (respectively).
