Jackmans performances as Wolverine cemented his status as a legendary screen superhero, but there are plenty of other roles that reinforce his heroic screen persona. His charismatic portrayal of P.T. Barnum in The Greatest Showman, his put-upon Jean Valjean in Les Miserables, and the sweet rom-com heroes of Paperback Hero and Kate & Leopold all prove Jackmans heroic bonafides.
