Theater work aside, Jackman became a worldwide celebrity in 1999 after he was cast as “Wolverine” in the first of the X-Men movies. The immense commercial success of the first film and its numerous sequels established Jackman as a star.
With X-Men under his belt, Jackman would go on to star in several blockbusters in the new century, including Swordfish (2001) Van Helsing (2004), The Prestige (2006), Real Steel (2011), Les Miserables (2012) and Prisoners (2013).
