However, Jackman had a scare while filming The Wolverine (in cinemas now).

The actor told Notebook magazine: “In the film, there’s a scene where I swing from inside to outside a train and my neck got caught. I thought I had broken it. It was one of those moments when my wife looked at me and said, ‘What are you doing? Enough playing in the schoolyard! You are not invincible!’ I’m smarter about using a stunt double now.”

While Jackman may have left the set relatively unscathed, most superheroes, while seemingly invincible, haven’t been so lucky.
