Jackman, who was recently in Deadpool & Wolverine, has other exciting projects lined up, including a 2025 concert series at Radio City Music Hall, Three Bags Full: A Sheep Detective Movie, and The Death of Robin Hood. Meanwhile, Kate Hudson will star in Running Point, a basketball-themed comedy series created by Mindy Kaling, where she will play the President of a major basketball franchise.
