Australian actor Hugh Jackman recently posted “Happy Lantern Festival! Looking forward to bringing LOGAN to Taipei this month” on his Facebook page, accompanied by a placard with the Chinese translation, a pleasant surprise for Taiwanese fans.
Jackman is known for playing Wolverine — jin gang lang, literally “king kong wolf” in Chinese — in the X-Men series. Twentieth Century Fox confirmed that he and Patrick Stewart, who plays Professor X, will arrive in Taiwan this Sunday to promote their new film Logan. The movie is set to be his final outing playing Wolverine, with Taiwan the only Asian stop in the film’s promotional tour.
Jackman has just had another procedure to remove a skin cancer. Luckily, his upcoming trip will not be affected. The media reported that the 48-year-old superstar posted a selfie on Instagram showing off his bandaged nose. It was his sixth such treatment.
