Forums - Movies & TV - Hugh Jackman Thinks Tom Hardy Should Be the Next Wolverine

- Hugh Jackman told MTV News when asked about who should play Wolverine now that he is no longer portraying the character for the big screen:

“I haven’t really given it a lot of thought,”

“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.'” 

- But when pressed, Jackman offered up one specific name. “He’s younger than me for sure,” “I think Tom Hardy would be a great Wolverine.”

So what do you think? Does Tom Hardy fit the comic book character? Could his acting serve as a fitting portrayal of Wolverine?



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

Well , Hugh Jackman is 6'7 ? and Tom Hardy is probably somewhere around 5'9 ?

that's already a plus for me , one of the issues with jackman was his height , Logan should be around 5'4 to 5'7 ?



Agreed! He would be the perfect successor. So is this why he dropped out of the Suicide Squad? Hmm...

Come now, some of the X-Men movies are amazing! We won't speak of the few horrible ones or every other superhero movie Fox has ever released though...

Can he achieve the Wolverines body?

Hugh Jackman trained literally years to represent that character. There is an interview that on the last Wolverine movie, that was the first time that he was satisfied with what he thought Logan would look in real life, cutting all the water off his body to film the shirtless scene.

I dont think Hardy would be that commited to the role IMO.

P.D. He is an amazing actor, dont get me wrong.



He should continue to play Wolverine until it kills him.

really!! X-Men movies are some of the few that deserve what they get

not to mention that Wolverine is easily the most iconic role of Jackman's career

back on topic, Tom Hardy does not look suitable enough to me



don't mind my username, that was more than 10 years ago, I'm a different person now, amazing how people change ^_^

Isn't it about time they cast a 5'3" guy?



Hmm, pie.

Shrink several inches and grow stupid amounts of hair? I doubt it.



Hmm, pie.
