From Variety:

“I haven’t really given it a lot of thought,” Jackman said. “I’ve been asked that question a lot, and I’m always like, ‘I don’t wanna make it too easy on the studio to replace me,’ you know? I’ve still got one more to do. I’m sure they’re already talking about it, and there’s some actor [they’ve told] ‘shh, keep it quiet but we want you next.'”

After a bit of thought on who could play a younger, re-imagined Wolverine, Jackman made his choice.

“He’s younger than me for sure,” Jackman said. “I think Tom Hardy would be a great Wolverine.”

I can see it.

 

[Maninthemirror]

I agree

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

Next Wolverine confirmed. He would be perfect for it.

 

[jon bones]

that's be dope - and by then it should be an actual x-men series instead of the Mystique show

 

[SomedayTheFire]

God yes, more Tom Hardy is always good.

 

[Your Entertainer]

please don't leave us huge jackedman

What a gorgeous human being. *Tips fedora*

 

[captive]

totally read the title as Tom Hanks and thought wtf.


Tom Hardy would make a good looking wolverine.

 

[Nokagi]

Sure. Why not. Now if only they could make some good movies to put Wolverine in.

 

[serenewarfare]

I approve of this choice. Get it done Fox.

 

[Tom Nook]

edit: J/K I approve of this.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Everyone would be okay with it. Hardy is more than capable of acting himself through one of these films.

 

[SimleuqiR]

He's short enough. If he crouches a little more he will definitely look the part.

Not that Hollywood cares about the height.

 

[fallengorn]

Yeah, he'd be a good Wolverine.

totally read the title as Tom Hanks and thought wtf.

Tom Hanks is The Last Mutie on Earth

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Maybe he will finally wear Wolverine's Costume.


Still hoping that Hugh Jackman does wear the costume in Xmen Apocalypse or the Third Wolverine movie.

 

[Horse Detective]

He's short enough. If he crouches a little more he will definitely look the part.

Yeah Mila Kunis would be a great Wolverine.

 

[zsynqx]

ehhh Wolverine works better as a support character imo

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

We discussed this a tiny bit in the recent thread about the new Wolverine film.

He'd he really good. Honestly though, once Hugh retires the role they should give Wolverine a break. When they do bring the character back, don't have him be the main focus. He isn't that strong of a character and the X-Men are a team. Focus on the other members.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Yeah Mila Kunis would be a great Wolverine.

She would be a good X-23

 

[Sojgat]

Yeah, he'd be a good choice.

exactly!

 

[Extra Sauce]

I can see it.

I wouldn't mind.

I've been of the mind that they should use Wolverine 3 to introduce X-23. It would allow them to tell a new story and make her prominent in their universe, while also allowing them to take a break from actually using Wolverine.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Sure. Why not. Now if only they could make some good movies to put Wolverine in.

Looking back, The Wolverine was actually pretty decent. Some sloppy effects here and there which is probably a result of a rushed production but I definitely thought it was more ambitious than a lot of the cookie cutter superhero movies we've gotten. I mean...they didn't reinvent cinema with it, but I would say it danced outside what you would expect from a typical movie in that genre. It wasn't afraid to be quiet and somber, which is rare with these films. Then again, there was also a giant metal samurai robot suit.

Not happening. Wolverine is the face of X-men in movies. Without him as the main character, movie ain't gonna make cash.

 

[STILLethal]

He would have to get on dat Jake Gyllenhaal-tech to fit the part...not dat Bane-tech

I seriously loved The Wolverine up until the ending w/ Silver Samurai. It had such an awesome vibe going for it the whole film, has the awesome scene with ninjas, and then "oh wait it's a dumb superhero movie, quick let's go to a stupid secret lair and get a bad CGI robot all up in this".

Hardy would be rad. Play it like Max, with a slightly different accent and a bit more dialogue

 

[OnPoint]

Yeah Mila Kunis would be a great Wolverine.

Bring in X23 and be done with it.

 

[old manatee]

I'd rather Tom Hardy end up in good movies.

 

[strafer]

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT

or they could go for Bootleg Tom Hardy

 

[Renji_11]

Yeah he's right but it' a shame he's leaving as Jackman looks so much more like Wolverine now since he's older now.

 

[Frog-fu]

I'd rather Tom Hardy play Deathstroke.

 

[SJRB]

He's short enough. If he crouches a little more he will definitely look the part.

This is the most random fucking thing I've seen all week.

So Mila Kunis should be Wolverine? I'm not sure she's ripped enough.

 

[Sanjuro]

I think it's time that we have a black Wolverine. Actually, could make a lot of sense for Daken.

Idris is ready!

 

[Hystzen]

It's showing height not saying get Mila as Wolverine

Spoiler

i got feeling seeing her in Wolverine outfit would give me a confusing boner

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Yea totally agree with him.

Tom hardy would be awesome for that role

 

[plainr_]

Not a bad idea actually

 

[CrocMother]

I'd rather Tom Hardy make good movies

 

[A-V-B]

Idris is ready!

Of course, as we all know, Idris is too "steret" and not "pretty enough" for the role.

Poor Idris.

 

[Azih]

I'm pretty sure it's just giving a sense of scale. Though hell why not?

 

[ThirtyFour]

Haven't seen many movies with Hardy in them (still need to watch Mad Max) but the guy certainly has the look.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

She would be a good X-23

I...want this.

 

[ChubbyHuggs]

I think they're just using it to show how small he is...

 

[Imperial]

As long as he wears the mask.

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

How tall is DeVito?

 

[i plays game lol]

my brother found this somewhere else discussing this same topic... pretty amusing:

 

[Az]

I'm cool with Tom Hardy in anything

 

[Rabbi_Vole]

I'm cool with Tom Hardy in anything

In ANYTHING? oh my

 

[SimleuqiR]

This is the most random fucking thing I've seen all week.

It's for scale.

So Logan should be this tall next to Gambit:

Maybe even shorter, as she is most likely wearing heels.

 

[Hyun Sai]

ehhh Wolverine works better as a support character imo

That's ok, Hardy played Max and was fine.
