 "I'm going to have the time of my life... I can tell you that I started back at the gym and I'm eating a lot," he added.

Hugh's portrayal of Wolverine in this upcoming film promises a fresh perspective on the character, showcasing a grumpier, angrier Logan who isn't shy about physically sparring with Ryan Reynolds' character. 

This new dynamic adds an intriguing layer to Wolverine's persona and the film's narrative.

Over the past year and a half, Hugh has been transparent about his journey to reclaiming Wolverine's physique, documenting his progress with the hashtag #BecomingWolverineAgain. 

His social media posts not only offer a glimpse into his rigorous training regimen but also feature light-hearted jabs at his co-star, Ryan Reynolds, as they engage in a friendly "arms race" to achieve peak physical condition.

In one of his recent Instagram posts, Hugh pays tribute to his trainer, Beth Lewis, who has been a pivotal figure throughout his transformation. 

A throwback video showcases Hugh tackling barbell curls, with Beth and her "trusted assistant," a French bulldog named Andy, offering support and encouragement.

 These snippets from Hugh's training highlight the intense effort and dedication required to step back into Wolverine's shoes, emphasizing the actor's commitment to the role.

Eating an astonishing 8,000 calories a day, Hugh is focused on converting this immense intake into muscle mass through a relentless workout schedule. 

Having already portrayed Wolverine in nine live-action X-Men movies, Hugh is well-acquainted with the demands of the role. 

His familiarity with the character's physical requirements, coupled with his evident progress, signals that Hugh Jackman is poised to deliver a Wolverine performance that's as compelling and physically impressive as ever.
