00:02This is a very unique story in terms of, I've never seen a story like this that is a superhero
00:07movie.
00:08Why did you want to bring this version and vision of the Wolverine to this big screen?
00:12When I was shooting X-Men 1, we were not allowed to read comic books, right?
00:17So the director said no one, and someone slipped, it was like contraband,
00:20someone slipped this particular comic book, the Japanese story, the samurai story,
00:24under my trailer door and I read it.
00:25And I immediately went to Lauren Shiladono, the producer, and I said,
00:28this is going to be a movie. That was 13 years ago, and I kind of can't believe that we're
00:33here.
00:33We've done it. I think it's intriguing.
00:36It's one of the best stories from the comic book series, and to bring it to life,
00:40I think this movie feels fresh, different from any other X-Men or Wolverine movies.
00:44It won't matter if you haven't seen one before.
00:46This to me is the definitive Wolverine. This is the Wolverine.
00:50Now, obviously, you're working on X-Men Days of Future Past as the character, the Wolverine, as well.
00:56And you've taken a break from filming to be here, but we actually have a special message
01:00from the set of X-Men Days of Future Past for you to have a watch now.
01:05Hey, Hugh. It's your buddy here, Brian Singer, on the set of X-Men Days of Future Past here in
01:10Montreal.
01:11We're missing you terribly. You've got your claws, you've got your chicken breast.
01:14But seriously, have a great premiere. Have a really great time.
01:18And we'll see you soon. And to the fans out there, I've seen the movie,
01:21and I think this is the Wolverine film you've all been waiting for. Enjoy.
01:24That's nice, isn't it?
01:25It is nice. And that's exactly how I wrote it. So he really did a great job.
01:29No, that's very... We are having a blast.
01:31I've got to tell you, 13 years ago, Brian gave me this role.
01:35It's a role that changed my life. I'm forever grateful to him.
01:38I'm forever grateful to the fans. I love playing Wolverine.
01:42We're having such a good time on Days of Future Past.
01:44I'm telling you, the fans are going to love it.
01:47Hugh, a pleasure to see you. Have you got a message for all the fans here in Leicester Square
01:52and watching across the world?
01:54Well, to all the fans, I know it looks strange. I'm not looking at you.
01:57But I am looking at you. Thank you so much.
02:00From the bottom of my heart, these last 13 years playing this character
02:03is something I will never forget. I'll treasure all my life.
02:06And the reason I'm doing it for so long is you guys.
02:09So thank you so much.
