Enter Kevin Feige, who’s now the President of Marvel Studios, however again then was a producer’s assistant. He invited Jackman to dinner with him and the screenwriter, and drove Jackman to the airport after.
Jackman recalled the second.
“I stated, ‘Kevin, everyone knows I’m not getting the half. You don’t need to do dinner.’ However no, he sat in there and had a steak dinner with me after which drove me to the airport. I’ll always remember it. That was the nicest factor. I believed, I’ll by no means see him once more.”
Fallacious.
