Hugh Jackman has left his Full Monty -esque comedy Avon Man in order to make room for Wolverine 2 .
The actor has departed production of the comedy, written by Allen Loeb and directed by Enchanted ’s Kevin Lima, which leaves it without a leading man even as filming is pencilled in for an October start.
Jackman remains on as producer, though, and we’re sure his considerable Hollywood clout should land him a new lead pretty sharpish.
Deadline report that Jackman’s ditching of Avon Man was necessary for him to make time to get back into shape for Wolverine 2 . He reportedly laid on some extra weight for robo-mash-up Real Steel .
There’s also the chance that he might head up Lee Daniels’ Selma , though financing may stall that production once and for all.
Jackman’s loss or ours? Talk it out below…
