Why Hugh Jackman's Wolverine Took Over the 'X-Men' Movie
After Marvel found success with Blade in 1998, they decided to scale up their next comic book movie endeavor. 25 years ago, the first X-Menmovie was released, and fans were excited to see one of their favorite Marvel teams come to life on the big screen. X-Men proved to be successful and was warmly received by critics and audiences alike, but one aspect of the film that was frustrating 25 years ago and remains frustrating 25 years later was that, for a movie about a team of mutant superheroes and their adversaries, it had a singular focus. The team took a backseat to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine, arguably the most popular of the X-Men. However, for a movie that should've emphasized the group more clearly, Wolverine overshadowed most of the film, a problem that persisted in the next couple of films.
