Wolverine To Land In Mexico City Next Week

From: imdb.com

Hugh Jackman will take his Wolverine movie to Mexico City on 26 May after cancelling the film's original premiere date because of the outbreak of swine flu.

The Aussie actor announced the news via his Twitter.com blog on Friday, admitting his thoughts and prayers have been with those battling swine flu in Mexico, where the pandemic reportedly started last month.

As a result of the health crisis, film premieres and concerts were postponed - and the X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie screening next week will be the first rescheduled event.

In his 'tweet', Jackman writes, "I will bring Wolverine to Mexico City on May 26 to provide a moment of fun escapism and a treat for some of the loyal fans of the comic.

"My thoughts and prayers have been with all of those that have suffered directly or indirectly from the swine flu in Mexico."

After a brief government-mandated shutdown, cinemas, businesses, schools and other public venues have reopened in Mexico and the U.S. government lifted its advisory against non-essential travel to Mexico last week (ends15May09).
