Australian actor Hugh Jackman has reportedly been offered massive USD 100 million deal to reprise his role as Wolverine in four future movies.
The 44-year-old, who is set to reprise his iconic role in the upcoming "X-Men: Days of Future Past, previously hinted at a potential retirement from the clawed-hero, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Hugh has a big decision to make. It's not every day an actor gets offered this kind of paycheck, but Hugh vowed never to lock himself into any multipicture deals after 'X-Men'. He hasn't given any kind of answer yet, so at least he's considering it," a source said.
Jackman, the third highest paid actor on this year's Forbes list, had previously said, "I wasn't even sure after the first stand-alone film if I would do another. I had something to prove, and we could have done better.
"Somehow the first Wolverine movie ended up looking like the fourth 'X-Men' - just with different characters. I left unsure if we'd achieved our goal, which was to make sure people understood my character.
