Wolverine 2: Jackman drops ‘Avon Man’

• READ: Hugh Jackman Drops ‘Avon Man’ For ‘Wolverine 2′:

The Australian actor has dropped out of Kevin Lima’s comedy “Avon Man” so he can spend some more time at the gym and get into the right shape for “Wolverine 2.” The sequel to the prequel — if that makes any sense — features a heavy Japanese samurai story and is due to go into production in early 2011. However, with “Avon Man” targeting an October release, the question has become why can’t the actor do both?

Apparently, Jackman’s weight and build has been a factor in his recent roles which means his physique is somewhat different to what was seen in the last X-Men movie. Now he has to focus his energy on meeting the requirements of the role.
