Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman, comes in at #19 on Nerdage’s list of actors with geek appeal.

The action star will be seen in the sci-fi film “Real Steel” this October, in which Jackman plays a down-on-his luck boxer begins training  a fighting robot.

His “Wolverine” sequel recently hit a setback with the departure of director Darren Aronofsky.   Producer Bryan Singer tells IGN UK it’s not impossible we might see Wolverine in a sequel to this summer’s “X-Men First Class,” though it’s not completely clear from the quote if the role would be played by Hugh Jackman.

“I think there would definitely be room,” Singer is quoted as saying. “I think it would be a very exciting thing. This universe has to establish itself first, but that would be a very interesting and fun thing.”
