Does It Hurt? Every Time.

Every time an action movie is even mildly successful at the box office, someone utters the magic word “spinoff.” Even Die Another Day led to talk of a Jinx movie, which was thankfully shelved (presumably after her agent took another look at Catwoman and realized what a horrible mistake the whole thing would be). But when it comes to X-Men, nobody can quell the popularity of Wolverine.
Hugh Jackman was a minor heartthrob even before his role in X-Men, X2, and X-Men: The Last Stand. But appearing with massive sideburns and retractable metal claws drew in an unprecidented female audience, exposing the Marvel franchise to a whole new group of fans.
