Hugh Jackman still looks back on the old X-Men movies with pride, despite the Bryan Singer of it all

The Guardian actually asked Jackman about the “legacy of the early X-Men films” and whether or not they’ve been tainted by the allegations against Singer, but Jackman didn’t really bite. “You know, that’s a really, really complicated question,” he said, explaining that the first X-Men was the “turning point” for comic book movies and he thinks “there’s a lot to be proud of” for that, but there are “certainly questions to be asked and I think they should be asked.”

Ultimately, Jackman just said it’s a “complex” question, but he chooses to “look back with pride at what we’ve achieved and what momentum that started.” Later on, in a more general sense, he said that “there are some ways of being on set that would not happen now” and that “things have changed for the better,” adding—not that he’s referring to anything or anyone specifically—that “there’s way less tolerance for disrespectful, marginalizing, bullying, any oppressive behavior. There’s zero tolerance for it now and people will speak out, and I think that’s great.”

Deadpool 3, featuring Ryan Reynolds’ MCU debut as the Merc With A Mouth and Jackman’s return as Wolverine, is supposed to be in theaters late next year.
