Was Hugh Jackman In Night At The Museum?

The “Night at the Museum” series, comprising four films (three live-action and an animated sequel), features Ben Stiller alongside a variety of well-known actors. The initial movie showcases Robin Williams in his highest-earning film, while other prominent stars joined for the subsequent installments. Although Hugh Jackman is not often linked with this franchise, viewers who remember a scene from “Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb” are aware that he’s part of the cast.

In 2014, the movie titled “Secret of the Tomb” was not universally loved among its three live-action counterparts, but it still managed to rake in profits at the box office. This film centered around the character Larry Daley, portrayed by Stiller, who ventures to London to retrieve the Tablet of Ahkmenrah before it loses its magic. During his journey, he receives assistance from a wax figure depicting Sir Lancelot, played by Dan Stevens, who initially mistook the tablet for the legendary Holy Grail.

In another rendition, Daley ventures towards Camelot, which is not a real destination as we all understand. Unlike others, Lancelot assumes he’s found it and bursts in, eager to present the Holy Grail to King Arthur. Instead, he disrupts a production of “Camelot” by invading the stage and halting the performance. There, he collides with Hugh Jackman, playing King Arthur, alongside Alice Eve as Guinevere. A brief exchange occurs before the narrative moves on elsewhere.

In a misunderstanding, Lancelot fails to recognize the actors on stage, and when Jackman attempts to escort him off, Lancelot takes offense. He draws his sword, jokily addressing Jackman as “Giant Actor-Man.” Jackman, however, tries to explain that it’s all just a performance, showing his fake sword. This confuses Lancelot, who then angrily destroys some of the set decorations. Jackman has to pacify the audience and orders Lancelot off the stage.

Jackman says to him, “Look, buddy, it’s not wise to pick a fight with me, understand? If we get into a scuffle, I’ll defeat you.” He then shouts, “Let’s go,” as Jackman assumes his famous Wolverine stance, mimicking the action of unsheathing his claws and growling at his adversary. Lancelot inquires about his actions, so Alice Eve clarifies, “He’s acting like Wolverine,” tapping Jackman on the arm and suggesting, “It works better when he’s got his claws out and no shirt,” to which he concurs.

Although the cameo appearance by Jackman isn’t credited, it’s evident that viewers can identify him playing himself in the movie, given his distinctive Australian accent. Interestingly, Jackman’s acting career started at just five years old when he portrayed King Arthur in a stage production of “Camelot.” It’s probable that this role was both comfortable and entertaining for him, and judging from their response to his cameo in the film, his fans seemed to appreciate it as well.
