Which actor played Wolverine in the 2000 film 'X-Men'?

Hugh Jackman played Wolverine in the 2000 film X-Men. He portrayed Logan, also known as James Howlett, a mutant with heightened senses, rapid healing, and retractable claws housed in an adamantium-coated skeleton.

X-Men was Jackman’s first appearance as Wolverine and introduced him to a worldwide audience. The film follows Logan as he becomes involved with Professor Xavier’s mutant team and helps protect Rogue while Magneto pursues his own plan. Jackman’s performance became one of the defining elements of the franchise.

A common mix-up is confusing the actor with James Marsden, who played Scott Summers/Cyclops, or Ian McKellen, who played Magneto. Patrick Stewart played Professor Xavier. Jackman later reprised Wolverine in several X-Men films, including X2, X-Men: The Last Stand, and Logan, as well as other Marvel productions.
