Hugh Jackman to star in biblical drama

Actor Hugh Jackman, who is hanging his 'Wolverine' claws after 2017, has joined a faith-based drama "Apostle Paul" for Warner Bros.

The film will be produced by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck along with Jennifer Todd and Chris Clarke.

Matt Cook is writing the screenplay about Paul, who had been persecuting Christians as Saul of Tarsus, but became an apostle of Christianity after hearing a divine message, reported Variety.

Jackman will be seen next in July as Blackbeard in "Pan" which opens in July for Warner Bros, and stars in the next "Wolverine" film, slated to release on March 3, 2017.
