20th Century Fox snuck in Hugh Jackman to its Comic-Con presentation and presented WOLVERINE footage. All very last minute and top secret. Said a studio insider, in a hilariously dated reference: "It was like The Beatles."

oh, my heart skip a beat…hugh jackman!
Wolverine? Wolverine!!!??? He owes me money!
Dated Reference? Should they have said Duran Duran??
Very dated reference. It was more like Obama.
What do you mean, “more like Obama”? It was pure hype?
The Beatles is a dated reference?
The Beatles will never be a dated reference anymore than “like Shakespeare” will be a dated reference.
When the Beatles are still the most-loved band on the planet and were responsible for the fastest-selling album 30 years after they broke up, I wouldn’t call the reference dated.
