As all the stars lined up for a stellar filming process, the WGA and SAG-AFTRA twin strikes halted the productions midway. Fortunately, with a resolution achieved, a filming update on the upcoming Marvel juggernaut popped up recently. However, Hugh Jackman sent a more crucial update to fans as he sported his iconic Wolverine mutton-chops, signaling that the filming may already have started.

Captioning the post as “Sporting the chops can only mean one thing,” the alludes seem ever clear. Additionally, the post came mere hours after he met with the director, Shawn Levy, at a London bar.
