Hugh Jackman<\/a> appears ready to move beyond the drama with his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness<\/a>. In a June 2026 report from Globe<\/a><\/em>, a source revealed that the Death of Robin Hood <\/em>actor is setting his sights on working with someone Deb banned him from working with during their marriage: Angelina Jolie<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s no secret in his world that he has wanted to team up with her on a major project for years and generally speaking, Hollywood has been welcome to the idea,\u201d a source told the outlet. \u201cThere have been a few attempts to put them in the same film [but] it just never quite came together.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jackman and Jolie nearly co-starred in both the 2004 action horror movie Van Helsing<\/em> and Christopher Nolan\u2019s The Prestige<\/em>, but things didn\u2019t work out. \u201cAngelina did consider joining that cast at one point before her schedule and her new relationship with Brad Pitt made it impossible,\u201d the source explained, adding that Deb also played a role in the two not working together.<\/p>\n

In a 2015 interview with Australia\u2019s Today<\/em> (per E! News<\/a><\/em>), Deb spoke about her relationship with Jackman. When asked about the secret to their romance, Deb joked, \u201cI\u2019ve told his agent he\u2019s not allowed to work with Angelina [Jolie].\u201d She quickly added, \u201cI\u2019m sure she\u2019s lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since he and Deb called it quits in 2023, Jackman has actively been looking for \u201csomething for him and Angie to do together\u201d because, according to him, they are \u201cso overdue for a significant team-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jackman\u2019s new girlfriend, actress Sutton Foster, is also hoping to work with him. An insider told Globe <\/em>she\u2019s \u201cstill patiently waiting for the chance to make a blockbuster movie,\u201d but Jackman reportedly doubts a film starring the two of them would be both a critical success and a box office hit.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs much as Hugh believes he and Angie would have incredibly physical chemistry in an action movie together, he\u2019s also always keeping the box office at [the] top of mind,\u201d the source explained. \u201cAnd when it comes to selling tickets, a movie starring him and Sutton just isn\u2019t going to fly.\u201d<\/p>\n

They continued, \u201cYou have to feel for Sutton in this situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
