While I haven’t even posted on the rumored $60 million deal for Christian Bale to reprise his role as Batman because it smells of complete bullshit (I refuse to even link to it), I’m inclined to believe the somewhat questionable report from the National Enquirer about Hugh Jackman coming back for more Wolverine.

According to the notorious pub, Hugh Jackman has been offered a whopping $100 million to reprise his role as Wolverine in an additional four X-men movies after X-Men: Days of Future Past. Breaking that down, we’re talking $25 million a picture, which isn’t an obscene amount of money.

Still, pay days like that haven’t been seen since Jim Carrey’s The Cable Guy crashed and burned at the box office in the 90s. And unless Fox plans on making one X-Men film a year for the next five years, they may have to start worrying about a mutant who doesn’t age being played by a guy who isn’t as young as he used to be. 

What do you think? Is Hugh Jackman worth $100 million?
