X-MEN star, Hugh Jackman has said that he is desperately trying to get the attention of producers from the 007: JAMES BOND franchise, in hopes that he might be asked to take over the role which was last played by Pierce Brosman.
"...there's no guy I know who wouldn't want that role - and that includes me. Anyone who says otherwise is lying." says the actor.
Though casting rumors have leaned more towards actors like Colin Farrell, Colin Firth, and Jude Law, what if Jackman did get the role? Where would that leave X-MEN 3 and the possible WOLVERINE spin-off? The BOND franchise is said to be planned for a Summer or Winter 2006 release, which is the same outlook for X3.
