We have a new Wolverine movie on the horizon, we don’t know much about it, other than that it would have a more adult and less family approach. And there are many who see in this beginning the arrival of a different cub, so much so that it would be embodied by a new actor capable of collecting the legacy of Hugh Jackman over the years. We are not going to take too long… these are our five candidates for the role.
Tom Hardy
He is undoubtedly one of the most desired by Wolverine fans, since he perfectly embodies that type of tough and tormented hero, but with a certain heart that things don’t always go well.
We saw him in Mad Max , in the Taboo series , in many successful productions. But above all we know that he can work in the world of comics because he has already been in charge of giving life to a superhero? like Venom . He would be a charismatic and recognized actor capable of reviving the Wolverine franchise with a more adult touch.
Scott Eastwood
Clint EastWood’s son is another one who is in the pools of many fans. That hard air that his own surname already endows him with makes him a good candidate.
It has some experience in the world of heroes and villains, with a brief appearance in the suicide squad of 2016. Who knows, the Lobezno could be the role that would give the final impulse to a career that, at the moment, evolves step by step.
Kit Harrington
This actor has been pretty much gobbled up for his role as Jon Snow in the epic Game of Thrones . A character who has lived hard moments and glory in equal parts in fiction, and whose actor could undoubtedly be a good Wolverine in the future.
Since the end of the HBO series has lost some protagonism, it is obvious, but it would be a recognizable face and with a great trajectory ahead that could fit well in the universe of lobezno . Though we almost certainly have to write him off if Marvel decides to pigeonhole him as a Black Knight ( Eternals ) and doesn’t let him do other things.
Daniel Radcliffe
An actor marked by Harry Potter who has shown over the years that he can take on any project with confidence . Some fan pools place him in the skin of Wolverine, although the actor himself distrusts that Marvel can choose him.
But at the same time, it does not close the door so that if it is so, he becomes this tormented character . The photos of Daniel with a Wolverine beard and hair that we have seen give this rumor even more credibility, and it is that far from his eternal baby face, over the years he can fit well into the traditional aesthetic of Wolverine .
aidan turner
This is perhaps one of the actors least known by the general public, along with Scott Eastwood, but of course he has a long career in countless productions , both film and television. We saw him as a Hobbit in Peter Jackson’s trilogy or as Ross Poldark in one of the great successes of British television in recent years. He too sounds a lot like a future James Bond and yes, his name has been thrown around for Wolverine as well.
We are sure that, as in the rest of the cases, Aidan would do great, but these decisions are not confirmed lightly, so surely Marvel has already taken good note of all those familiar faces that fans are considering for their new production.
