For Hugh Jackman, clearly there's Never Enough of The Greatest Showman — so it looks like a sequel is actually going to happen!
The record-setting X-Men star has smashed all possible expectations with his movie musical about the life of circus magnate PT Barnum, from making an incredible $435 million at the box office to winning a Grammy Award.
Hollywood was always going to capitalise on a hit this massive, and thus director The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey told The Sun this week that talk of a sequel really is heating up.
"When a movie becomes as big a success as this, it’s only natural there is demand for a sequel," he said. “So those discussions have started and we are working on one right now."
There's been renewed buzz around The Greatest Showman following Jackman's dynamic show-opening performance with Jack Whitehall at the Brit Awards earlier this week.
Jackman will be performing songs from the musical on stages across the world throughout the year as part of his 'The Man. The Music. The Show' tour, which stops at the O2 Arena for six nights in June.

Earlier this week, the actor hinted that Robbie Williams was planning to join him on stage when the global tour arrives in the UK over the summer.
"I'm a big fan of having guests on tour, concerts should feel like something happened that night that couldn't happen anywhere else," Hugh told Capital's Marvin Humes at the Brits.
"So, I don't know if I should say, but Robbie's going to join me at one point."
If all of this isn't exciting enough, keep in mind that Hugh is also busy at work on a stage version of The Greatest Showman as well!
