What were the exact reasons he stopped? Was it his choice, or the choice of the movie producers? I doubt they are never making Wolverine movies again, so why did he stop playing future parts as Wolverine?
Best Answer
He thought it was time. He said on Dr. Oz:
“This will be my last one. […] It is my last time. It just felt like it was the right time to do it. And let’s be honest, 17 years [note: the Wolverine sequel is scheduled for 2017]. I never thought in a million years it would last, so I’m so grateful to the fans for the opportunity of playing it.
“I kind of have in my head what we’re going to do in this last one. It just feels like this is the perfect way to go out.”
