I agree that visually he looks perfect for it, but he's probably a bit too old. They're going to want someone late 20s-early 30s, so they can hopefully get 15 years out of him like they have with Jackman.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Still waiting on my x men movie with a watchmen type of mood. R rated, fully masked, sentinel patrols, team focused...

 

[PeskyToaster]

Tom Hardy would be great at most things

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Jackman as Wolverine has just been a joy to watch.
Visually he's not the ideal Logan to me (I mean, not just the height, but Hugh has no body hair. Wolvie has those classic hairy arms in the comics. Hugh is far too pretty ), but his screen presence carries him so amazingly far with the character.

I rewatched X1, X2, and *shudder* X3 with my daughter recently and it still amazed me how much Jackman owned every scene he was in.

Hardy would be fantastic, but I feel like Jackman will be to Wolverine what Christopher Reeves is to Superman.

 

[BlackGhost]

I legit thought that title said "Tom Brady"

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Brady is definitely more a Scott Summers type.

 

[wenis]

Brady is definitely more a Scott Summers type.

now where is Lord Doom when you really need him?

I'd rather it be a short Canadian dude, eh

 

[Thebeardofknowledge]

Jackman is really gonna step aside isn't he ?

😢

 

[Skiptastic]

please don't leave us huge jackedman

:lol I thought I was the only one who liked to call him that!

 

[ThankYouDaletech]

Why not Idris Elba?

 

[Plywood]

Mila Kunis as X-23 book it Hollywood.

 

[DeathyBoy]

He'd make a great Wolverine, but on a purely selfish level I just want him to have Mad Max as his franchise of choice. Going from perfection to greatness is a demotion.

 

[nib95]

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

Not that Hollywood cares about the height.

Wolverine is 5' 3"? Wat….

On a side note, I agree, Hardy would be a great pick.

 

[kewlmyc]

She would be a good X-23

I never knew I wanted this.

 

[DeathyBoy]

I never knew I wanted this.

Watching Jupiter Ascending will test that want.

 

[Pewpewlazors99]

I really like Tom Hardy as an actor, except the weird way he speaks. Not sure if it was the roles he played or what, but the guy needs to speak up a bit!

 

[Az]

In ANYTHING? oh my

I don't regret a thing.

 

[dragonyeuw]

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.

Personally I think the Wolverine character is perfectly capable of carrying a franchise, the reality is that the one portrayed by Jackman the past 15 years is greatly toned down. And, while 'the Wolverine' had its moments, the Wolvie-centric films haven't really done the character much justice.

I will say though, that Jackman has inhibited the character to such a degree that I really can't see someone else playing it, at least for a while. He's as much Wolverine as Chris Reeve was Superman for a generation( and still is for many people). But as far as replacements go, you couldn't do better than Hardy.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Not after he becomes the Splinter Cell. Just like he always wanted to be.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

This whole "people caring about how tall Wolverine is" thing is a joke, right?

 

[Knoxcore]

I can get on board with Tom Hardy.

 

[jufonuk]

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.

Ripped Mila as x-23 I would like to see that

 

[Fudgepuppy]

It would be fun to see him try the role for a movie.

 

[Tom Nook]

She would be a good X-23

It all make sense now...

 

[watershed]

Tom Hardy would be a good fit for the stocky, crazy, grizzly bear-like Wolverine I always understood the character to be.

 

[Raptor]

"The Adamantium Bonding process will be quite painful."
"....FOR YOU."

lmao!

 

[Master Thespian]

Tom Hardy's 5'9" and he has the look. I complain about Jackman's height, but expecting a 5'3" Wolverine is silly.

Tom Hardy would be a good fit for the stocky, crazy, grizzly bear-like Wolverine I always understood the character to be.

Exactly.

 

[krazykei]

I think he can be a very wooden actor but this can work

 

[riotous]

Not that the vast majority of moviegoers cares about the height.

Fixed that for you.

 

[ThankYouDaletech]

I think he can be a very wooden actor but this can work

Have you seen Bronson? Not very wooden in that.

 

[Rooster12]

Fuck all this nonsense.

I want to see Hugh Jackman play this guy:

 

[itwasTuesday]

For You, bub.

 

[TAJ]

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

It was great, but that was despite Tom Hardy. Could have been a lot worse, though. He single-handedly ruined Warrior.

 

[ThankYouDaletech]

Or Peaky Blinders.

...hell, TDKR has him playing a pretty charismatic loon behind that voice filter.

Didn't know he was in Peaky Blinders. I was going to watch it but found out it wasn't a comedy.

How can you have a name like Peaky Blinders and not be a comedy? The UK doesn't make sense, m8.

House of Cards was not a show about magic. :::Shrugs:::

 

[Tansut]

As long as he wears the mask.

Nobody cares who he is until he puts on the mask.

 

[dh4niel]

Nah. Tom Hardy is too good for a comic book film.

 

[Spladam]

I have to agree with Hugh. A much better wolverine then him even, not that he was bad.

 

[Sephzilla]

Nah. Tom Hardy is too good for a comic book film.

 

[Denton]

Tom hardy would make great anything. He is simply flawlessly talented actor with harcore charisma.

 

[Master Thespian]

Nah. Tom Hardy is too good for a comic book film.

Okay.

 

[BarrenMind]

They should just get someone else for Prof X and give the job to James McAvoy.

 

[Boss Doggie]

But he's a big guy.

 

[pixelation]

I agree

Now i'm gonna be disappointed if its not him.

 

[halfbeast]

so, is Tom Hardy the next Chris Pratt? let's put him in everything! even potato salad!

 

[a916]

Damn you Hugh! Let Tom Hardy stay with DC, Marvel doesn't need any more (but wouldn't hurt to have more) stars and great actors.

 

[Pinko Marx]

They should just get someone else for Prof X and give the job to James McAvoy.

Holy carp I had no idea the dude from Filth was Young X. Amazing what a haircut and a beard can do.

 

[Eighty Deuce]

Why not Idris Elba?

Gaf always wants Idris to play the leading role in all movies. It's turning into a meme at this point.
