It seems the healing capability of Wolverine that allows him to quickly recover cannot guarantee a safe premiere of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" set for Wednesday in Mexico City.

Twentieth Century Fox has decided to postpone the premiere due to the wide spread and dangerous outbreak of swine flu virus.

The studio's rep. release a statement, "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. There was no point in proceeding under the current conditions."

The Mexican government has asked for residents to stay home if they have no immediate business concern outside their homes. Reportedly, 150 people are recorded killed with this virus outbreak and still growing.

Tough luck for Hugh Jackman...
