Hugh Jackman to launch ‘Wolverine’ in Mexico

NEW YORK — Hugh Jackman has been cleared to visit Mexico.

Film distributor 20th Century Fox says the actor will help launch “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” in Mexico City on May 26. Last week, Jackman’s scheduled appearance there was canceled due to swine flu concerns.

The Mexico premiere will be held at the National Auditorium. According to Jackman’s Twitter page, the “Wolverine” star intends “to provide a moment of fun escapism and a treat for some of the loyal fans of the comic.”

Movie theaters across Mexico reopened Thursday after a five-day shutdown of businesses, schools and other venues. Mexico announced its 45th death and 159 more cases Friday.
