Wolverine bijna cameo in Spider-Man

De droom van alle Marvel Studios fans is dat er in elke film een poging wordt gedaan tot een ‘crossover’. Zelfs Hugh Jackman zei dat hij graag op het witte doek zou willen verschijnen als Wolverine naast Robert Downey Jr. als Iron Man. Doordat de rechten van de films bij andere distributeurs liggen is dit niet mogelijk, maar blijkbaar is dit toch bijna een keer gebeurd. In een interview zei Jackman dat Wolverine bijna een cameo had in Sam Raimi‘s Spider-Man:

“In the first “Spider-Man” — Kevin Feige reminded me of this — we really tried to get me to come on and do something, whether it was a gag or just to walk through the shot or something. The problem was, we couldn’t find the suit. The suit was stuck in some thing. And so when they were in New York when I was there, we couldn’t get it together. So, you know, I actually asked some high level people about it. Because the optimist in me goes, “Why not? Why can’t we do it? You know, a split cast or whatever?” And someone reminded that the amount of money Fox paid compared to the amount of money Disney paid is very different [laughs]. So how you split that pie up? God knows. But in the comic books, what’s great about it is they’re just mashing together all the time — and it’s awesome. And people are like, “Yeah, well, let’s get this one with that!” And, you know, I still think, one day, there may be an ability to do it.”
