Ever wondered how film stars bring such gusto to their characters? Allow us to pull back the curtain a bit and show you just how. In 2017, director James Mangold gave us a glimpse of Hugh Jackman, aka Wolverine, pouring life (and countless grunting sounds) into Logan during an Automated Dialogue Replacement or ADR session. Fast forward to now, we have been gifted another such moment by the Deadpool & Wolverine director, Shawn Levy.
An ADR Workout for Jackman
This time, however, Jackman is not just grunting and growling. He is sweating it out, putting in a physical workout akin to a hardcore gym session. In the video Levy shared on his Instagram, we see Jackman voicing Logan during an epic fight scene in Deadpool & Wolverine. He's not just standing in front of a mic, oh no, Jackman is mimicking every slash, every swing of Logan's adamantium claws, creating a feast of sound effects for the team to play with.
A Marvelous Performance
This recording session goes to show Jackman's commitment to bringing complex characters like Logan to life. Deadpool & Wolverine, the latest in the Marvel series, is ripping up the box office charts, evidently resonating with viewers worldwide with an impressive $824M+ haul. It seems Jackman's energy, both on-screen and behind the scenes, is paying off!
The Future of the Franchise
While viewing Deadpool & Wolverine feels like a requisite Marvel experience, its success has us wondering about what's next in the pipeline. A standout character from the film, Laura Kinney aka X-23, brilliantly portrayed by Dafne Keen, has caught the fans' attention. Some fans are even speculating whether Keen's X-23 could become the next Wolverine in a potential X-Men reboot. While nothing is confirmed yet, we can definitely sense some excitement brewing among fans.
The End of an Era
