Actor Hugh Jackman says he was initially unsure about the ending of "Logan", as he believed it would have been more powerful if Wolverine survived.
The 48-year-old actor makes his eighth and final appearance as the clawed mutant Wolverine in the recently released "X-Men" spin-off, and has said he wasn't sure about the movie's final scenes when he first read the script, reported Contactmusic.
