Hugh Jackman might be a superhero in the world of cinema but, when it comes to real-world concerns, the recent outbreak of swine flu has forced Twentieth Century Fox to postpone the Mexico City premiere of the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie.

Elsewhere, the film is scheduled to open in theatres on Friday, May 1st, however, a special preview screening will be held in Tempe, Arizona on Monday night.

Twentieth Century Fox has decided to postpone the premiere of X-Men Origins: Wolverine set for Wednesday in Mexico City, as the city remains paralyzed by the virus that has killed over 100 people.

Quiero ver la versión española. ¡Something about an Albertan speaking español es muy hilarante! Especialmente quando es Hugh Jackman. I saw the leaked version and believe you me, la pelicula es ridículo, seriamente. ¡Vive la Revolución de X-Men!
