  15? I hate to do this to you buddy, but the original X-Men movie was 2000. Jackman has been Wolverine for 24 years.

        Yeah, my thought was “do they think we don’t know who Sabertooth is”

        That movie might not have been very good overall, but I thought he was a surprisingly good Sabertooth. Not at all comic book Sabertooth, but good.

  I remember when the casting was released for the original X-Men, the Fanboys were losing their mind, saying it was the worst super hero casting of all time, and how he looked nothing like Wolverine. Fan castings always aim for the exact look of a character and don’t consider acting talent, so people were originally upset that Jackman is tall, they seriously wanted an actor who was jacked and like 5’5".

    Let’s be real, though, this was pre-Y2K, it was much harder to gage a fandom’s reaction to casting at the time. I don’t remember much complaints at all on the forums I was on, though I do remember Steward’s casting was celebrated.
