Swine flu cancels Mexico premiere of Hugh Jackman flick

Swine flu cancels Mexico premiere of Hugh Jackman flick

Screen superhero Hugh Jackman, seen here arriving in style at an Arizona screening, won't be packing his bags for Mexico this week as expected.  

Wednesday's planned opening of X-Men Origins: Wolverine has been postponed because the country is on high alert over an outbreak of swine flu.  

"We were not only concerned about Hugh's welfare – and we would never send anyone into harm's way – but we also have an enormous office filled with people we care about," explained a representative from Twentieth Century Fox.  
 
Authorities in Mexico City have told residents to stay home, while schools and cinemas are among the establishments off limits to members of the public.
