Superstar Hugh Jackman has revealed he might be quitting the 'Wolverine' movie franchise.
The actor has been offered a whopping USD 100 million to sign on for four more films in the series, but might turn it down, reported Digital Spy.
"Hugh has a big decision to make. It's not every day an actor gets offered this kind of paycheck, but Hugh vowed never to lock himself into any multi picture deals after X-Men. He hasn't given any kind of answer yet, so at least he's considering it," a source said.
But in a recent interview, the star disclosed that his actress-wife Deborra-Lee had been against him playing "Wolverine" from the very first "X-Men" movie and wants to see him concentrate on more serious roles.
"Hugh won't make any decisions without her approval and their friends are betting she'll have him stick to their one movie at a time rule.
