Golden Globe winner Hugh Jackman will use Twitter on Thursday to answer fans' burning questions about The Wolverine movie — in which he will play the disgruntled hero with degenerative abilities for the sixth time in the X-Men film franchise.

20th Century Fox exclusively told Mashable that the May 2 Twitter chat will begin at noon ET, and will involve Jackman responding to questions via video. People can tweet questions using hashtags #AskHugh and #TheWolverine before and during the Q&A. Answers will appear on the @RealHughJackman or @WolverineMovie accounts.

The film hits theaters July 26, and tackles Wolverine's immortality. "Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before," according to 20th Century Fox.

The Wolverine also features Silver Samurai and Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova). Its trailer shows a glimpse of Famke Janssen's departed Jean Grey character, who may reappear more than once in flashbacks.

Jackman's Twitter chat is just one part of 20th Century Fox's digital promotional blitz for The Wolverine. Aside from the traditional marketing tactics and video trailer, people involved with the film have leveraged Twitter, Vine, Facebook and YouTube to build anticipation for the summer release.

Director James Mangold, for example, shared a six-second Vine "tweaser," which teased a 20-second teaser for the movie's trailer.

Mangold is also tweeting exclusive images from the flick.

For its part, 20th Century Fox unleashed two beautiful "motion posters" on YouTube:

And on Facebook, people can create a Wolverine cover photo with their name on it:
