Hugh Jackman Surprises At X-Men: Apocalypse Panel

The cast of X-Men, including Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence, were all in attendance at the 20th Century Fox presentation in Comic-Con’s famed Hall H over the weekend.

The X-Men portion of the Fox panel opened with Jackman’s audition tape, and served as a sort of love letter to the actor who is largely credited with the success of the franchise. Jackman then surprised fans by stepping out onto the stage, despite not being confirmed to appear in X-Men: Apocalypse. “Playing the legend that is Wolverine is the greatest part I’ve had in my life,” Jackman told the audience before welcoming his co-stars on stage.

X-Men: Apocalypse will hit theaters May 27, 2016.
