Just days after hinting that his years of playing Wolverine in the X-Men films may be coming to an end, Hugh Jackman has, according to Deadline, signed on to headline Apostle Paul at Warner Bros. Pictures. The Academy Award nominee will play the religious figure, known for spreading Christianity in the early days of the first century A.D.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are among the producers on Apostle Paul through their Pearl Street Films. Jackman is expected to take a producer role as well alongside Jennifer Todd and Chris Clarke.
