Hugh Jackman was named Sexiest Man Alive this week by People magazine, oh yeah, and he's also starring in Australia and X-Men Origins: Wolverine, no big whoop. All in a day's work for this guy.

{sidebar id=1}IESB's Robert Sanchez sat down for an exclusive video interview with Jackman during the press day for AUSTRALIA in Beverly Hills this week.

Looking as good as the Sexiest Man Alive should, Hugh talked about working with Nicole Kidman, director Baz Lurhmann and more!

Due to the short time constraints, Sanchez and Jackman continued their conversation after the video interview was over. They continued to talk about X-Men and the news of Josh Schwartz writing a young X-Men story entitled X-Men: First Class.

Talk quickly turned to X-Men Origins: Wolverine and future Wolverine projects. Will there be more Wolverine films? Does Jackman want to reprise the role again? Can he keep that tight, tanned, toned body....whew, slow down Betty....back on track - does he want to reprise the role of Wolverine after the release of the Origins film?

Hugh said laughing, Absolutely, but we'll see how things turn out after May 3.

Yes, by the end of opening weekend, 20th Century Fox will certainly know if the new X-Men Origins franchise is a hit. Hopefully propelling X-Men Origins: Magneto full speed ahead and also giving us a Wolverine sequel. But, would it be a direct sequel to the Origins prequel or a follow up to X-Men 3?

It would be a sequel to Origins, confirmed Jackman.

And what storyline would Hugh like to explore? As he has said before, the Japanese story lines are something he'd like for the character to delve into.

There is no doubt in anyone's mind that the new Wolverine film will make Fox a ton of money, that's pretty much a done deal. So suffice it to say there will be more Wolverine films to come. Let's hope so says this fangirl.
