Hugh Jackman, who's been playing the role of "Wolverine" for 13 years stretching back to 2000's "X - Men, " said he's still contemplating whether to continue the role after next year's "X - Men: Days of Future Past. "
"I honestly haven't made that decision. I've just finished shooting X - men: Days of Future Past. I'll make a decision in a little while, " Jackman said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.
Jackman is in Beijing promoting his film "The Wolverine, " which debuted in China on Thursday.
"There will come a time when I'll move on. The fans will want me to move on. Or more importantly, the studio will want me to move on. But right now I'm loving it, " he said.
"X - Men: Days of Future Past", scheduled to debut next May, will be Jackman's seventh film as "Wolverine, " a mutant superhero with a skeleton made out of adamantium, a futuristic metal.
At the San Sebastian Film Festival held in September, he said "Great parts always outgrow the actors that play them, " which stirred up media conjecture that he might be considering an exit from the "X - Men" franchise.
