Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart having been playing their X-Men characters for 17 years. That much time creates an indelible relationship between character and actor, and if they could meet their alter-egos, they'd want to say thanks.
"This has been a character that I've loved playing. I would say thank you to him, and I'd also like to just put my hand on his shoulder and go 'You're okay, man,'" Jackman told Mashable, before adding that the hotheaded Logan might "punch me in the head."
The two actors take their final adventure with these characters in Logan, out March 3.
"I would say to Charles: 'You were right, you were always right,'" Stewart says. "You wanted to make the world a better place."
