Jackman Eyes Jolie Collab, Ex's Ban Lifted
13 Jun
Summary
- Jackman wants to work with Angelina Jolie after his divorce.
- Deborra-Lee Furness previously banned Jackman from working with Jolie.
- Jackman believes a film with Jolie would be a box office hit.
Hugh Jackman is reportedly looking to embark on a new cinematic venture with Angelina Jolie, a collaboration that was once seemingly blocked by his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness. Furness had jokingly stated in a 2015 interview that Jackman's agent was not permitted to work with Jolie.
Reports from June 2026 indicate that Jackman has been actively seeking a project with Jolie since his separation from Furness in 2023. He feels they are "so overdue for a significant team-up." Previous attempts to cast them together in films like 'Van Helsing' and 'The Prestige' did not materialize, with Jolie's schedule and new relationship with Brad Pitt cited as reasons, alongside Furness's influence.
Meanwhile, Jackman's current girlfriend, Sutton Foster, also harbors aspirations of starring in a blockbuster with him. However, Jackman is said to be skeptical about the potential box office appeal of a film featuring him and Foster, prioritizing commercial success for any future projects.
