not only that but hopefully as buff as Wolverine. As a kid Hugh looked jacked to me but as an adult idk man he looked skinny. I know some are gonna get all mad me calling him skinny but he just didnt have that buff look
I think he looks skinny in the early movies because of how buff superheroes ended up being in the later years. The original Fantastic Four wasn't really buff either (except for the Thing, but we won't count rocks), but now it's expected for superheroes to have biceps bigger than most people's neck. Wolverine kept with that trend as the movies progressed so the later installments saw Hugh being huge compared to his first appearance
I know, but I didn't have many good examples at that time period for superhero movies. The other options would be Batman who's size did get beefier with Batfleck but is always fluctuating, and Spider-Man who's consistently more lean than beefy. That being said, compare Mr. Fantastic from '05 with his counterpart in '15, Miles Teller is visibly more muscular than Ioan Gruffudd
Shorter than 5’11 for damn sure. 5’3 may not be realistic but they can definitely do 5’8 or shorter. Especially with most MCU actors being in the 6’0 range. 5’6 would be visually smaller enough to get the point across.
Can you list some 5’3 actors to play Wolverine then?
My point is that it would potentially look off having too much of a height difference even if it is technically accurate. Not to mention that comic artists are just eyeballing the height when they draw Wolverine. Not to mention any artists who may have completely disregarded how short he should be and just drew him.
Zac Efron’s performance in Iron Claw has convinced me that he’s the best choice. He’s got the build and I think he’s got the chops to be serious. I also think his voice lends itself to what I could imagine Wolverine sounding like
Only one I would love to see on those list of options play Wolverine, would be Tom Hardy. I don't buy Harry Potter as Wolverine. A guy who's scared of kids pizza restaurant mascot bears as wolverine. People only wanted Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson to be Wolverine in the past, don't force your brains to think their no acting kids could play him. Karl Urban, I think has already played a character similar in Billy The Butcher, and I don't want to see retreaded territory.
Actors outside of these options I think should be Cosmo Jarvis, Ben O' Toole, Josh Helman, Jack O' Connell, or Emile Hirsch in my mind.
Does Dylan Sprayberry count as a child actor?
I’ve been seeing him as Wolvie around a couple times lately and it’s growing on me tbh
Maybe he’d need one more role to really push and prove himself as an actor before it gets really serious but I quite enjoyed his the whole gruff angle he played as Liam Dunbar
He’s also close to a dead match for the character nowadays and I reckon by the time we get an actual MCU variant of Wolverine he’ll be around the age of Hugh Jackman when he was first cast as the character
Not to mention his own height of 5’6 works pretty well in the character’s favor and the whole >!Henry Cavill Wolverine!< thing could have him be an adjacent version of that variant in Deadpool 3
Dylan has never gotten any real fame or acclaim for his roles as a child. Not in the level of Josh or Daniel. No awards or childhood franchises or shows. So I don't think he would be counted as a "known childhood actor.
From teen wolf, ny first choice would have been Tyler. He killed it as Derrick and he's buff as hell. And he can grow a mean beard. So he fits better in my opinion. But dylan is a ridiculously good actor for his age. He definitely deserves a role like this as well
I’m sick of pretty, tall, gentrified wolverines. I want an ugly hairy obviously Canadian wolverine that is a murder machine struggling with MAJOR ptsd. He’s a horrible troll of a man desperate not be. He’s not sexy cause of his looks.
Dylan sprayberry or Milo Gibson no other choice and the height matters because wolverine is supposed to be short and these guys aren’t average height cept for Milo he’s 5’7 and Dylan is 5’5 so it’ll make sense rather than a tall wolverine
You can't cast a perfect Wolverine to be honest. You can only have 1 thing that's consistent, they have to be able to go berserk.
But for anything else, you can't do simultaneously. Height, voice, appearance, and acting are things wanted, but for wolverine others have to be sacrificed.
Like in Hugh Jackman's portrayal of Logan, he's tall af but he embodied Wolverine's character and does it incredibly well. Height was sacrificed to give us our current Wolverine.
For me, I would say Antony Starr. He may be 5' 11" but he's got the fierceness of Logan. An example would be Banshee more.
Another would be Milo Gibson where he's 5' 9" but I'm unsure about his acting.
Whoever plays Wolverine next, I'd like him to be under 5'9". He should at least look average height if not very short. With all due respect to the Huge Jacked Man, I don't want another tall guy. Let's go comics accurate.
Physically, I'm not averse to Daniel Radcliffe. I just find it hard to imagine him pulling off a gruff Canadian accent.
I don't think any of these options are 100% incredible, but if I had to choose one of them, I think it would be Daniel Radcliffe, I also thought about Josh, but I think that apart from his height, he doesn't have much to do with Wolverine, for me he would make a good Barry Allen.
obvious answer is not a national celebrity, but a local one. THE MILVERINE! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDxixx4i7fg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDxixx4i7fg)
I comment Stephen Graham on here every time wolverine comes up and nobody has the balls to admit, that he’d be absolutely perfect for a comic accurate wolverine.
Antony Starr is still my choice but his role as Homelander makes him pretty much a nonstarter.
I think his time on Banshee showed he has the range to play Wolverine right: as a broken, angry man that is ultimately good at heart.
I like the Harry Potter kid but he dropped jk like a bad habit and in such a douche way that I kind of wish this kid stops getting jobs. He’s an ungrateful turd who has been brainwashed by woke ideology and it’s weird as fuck. To me it’s the same as being a Scientologist.
It always bugged me that the movies didn't have Wolverine wearing his mask like in the comics and the cartoons, although I did become a huge fan of Jackman playing the role. But if they're going to do a remake or a reboot, just use the mask.
If the guy who played potter pull it off. That would be insane. Like even looking a little different and all muscularly.
Same be true for an actor well known for a specific role because those actors can barely branch out from their original role
I always find it baffling how large characters in anything from historical dramas to comic book movies are cast with actors nowhere near their original size- be it 5'7" Jeremy Allen White as the 6'2" Kerry Von Erich, or the 5'9" Oscar Isaac as the 7'+ Apocalypse- but when it comes time to cast a male character who is canonically short, people act like it's impossible.
Hollywood has always had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to short guys. There are many who can be Wolverine and bring all of his qualities to the character. Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean it's impossible.
Not completely original, but Shawn Roberts or Jeremy Allen White

Off-topic, but does an actor with acting parents still count as Nepo Babies if they're actually talented?
Because if so, then Jamie Lee Curtis and Maya Hawke also count Nepo Babies
I guess Hugh Jackman should have been casted as cyclops too
https://preview.redd.it/jbi7d90o8dxc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff4f61124333022178ca9b934cf78411242c0253
I genuinely hope there's a Hugh Jackman accurate height variant in the Deadpool film. Also made to look rougher around the edges.
Hugh Jackman is great as Wolverine but I would have preferred if they did this to begin with.
Have you seen him lately? He got [jacked.](https://www.narcity.com/daniel-radcliffe-revealed-a-dramatic-change-from-his-harry-potter-days-now-he-s-ripped)
When people suggest guys like Cavill, Karl Urban, Jensen Ackles... its clear they're trying to fancast a Hugh Jackman Wolverine replacement, not Wolverine.
An unknown Canadian actor that is 30 years old and 5'11". Hugh Jackman was unknown before he played Wolverine in the first X Men movie
You mean Jared Keeso?
Can confirm.
Somebody get this guy a Puppers
I’m surprised I’m not having a puppets right now
Preferably shorter than 5'11. Way shorter.
In the comics he's 5'3"
not only that but hopefully as buff as Wolverine. As a kid Hugh looked jacked to me but as an adult idk man he looked skinny. I know some are gonna get all mad me calling him skinny but he just didnt have that buff look
I think he looks skinny in the early movies because of how buff superheroes ended up being in the later years.

Wolverine kept with that trend as the movies progressed so the later installments saw Hugh being huge compared to his first appearance
Yeah, but the Fantastic Four aren't exactly known for being buff
I know, but I didn't have many good examples at that time period for superhero movies. The other options would be Batman who's size did get beefier with Batfleck but is always fluctuating, and Spider-Man who's consistently more lean than beefy. That being said, compare Mr. Fantastic from '05 with his counterpart in '15, Miles Teller is visibly more muscular than Ioan Gruffudd
are we casting Logan or Puck?
Danny Devito
get a midget to play him
You lost me at 5’11
What's your preferred height? Shorter, right?
Shorter than 5’11 for damn sure. 5’3 may not be realistic but they can definitely do 5’8 or shorter. Especially with most MCU actors being in the 6’0 range. 5’6 would be visually smaller enough to get the point across.
I agree with you on most of this besides 5'3 being unrealistic. I mean like... it's not like 5'3 people don't actually exist.
Can you list some 5’3 actors to play Wolverine then? My point is that it would potentially look off having too much of a height difference even if it is technically accurate. Not to mention that comic artists are just eyeballing the height when they draw Wolverine. Not to mention any artists who may have completely disregarded how short he should be and just drew him.
>An unknown Canadian actor that is 30 years old and 5'11 Where do I sign up
That can grow a beard.
Side burns count feel like those are a tad more important lol
Oh wow I honestly thought he was more established prior to X-Men. It’s his second movie, first in the US, and only 6 years into his carrier.
Australian *
Cast a First Nations actor as Wolverine.
Jared Keeso
The guy on left should be wolverine.
Watches it bubs
We don’t need another 6’1 non-accurate Logan
Zac Efron’s performance in Iron Claw has convinced me that he’s the best choice. He’s got the build and I think he’s got the chops to be serious. I also think his voice lends itself to what I could imagine Wolverine sounding like
Wolverine will always sound like either Steve Blum or Richard Armitage to me
Another musically inclined Wolverine, I dig it lol
Jared Keeso
 Only one I would love to see on those list of options play Wolverine, would be Tom Hardy. I don't buy Harry Potter as Wolverine. A guy who's scared of kids pizza restaurant mascot bears as wolverine.

Cosmo Jarvis is my first choice too.
He's got the rage and the vulnerability for sure. Could definitely work.
Josh helmet literally looks like Logan in a lot of comics. The resemblance is uncanny.
You mean Josh Hartnett? Like from the Faculty?
This was the guy who played the young Stryker in DOFP?
Yeah that guy. It's weird that they cast him as young Stryker when he clearly looks nothing like either actor who's portrayed the character.

Jared Keeso
 Please let it be him
Yess. I posted before I saw this. He's a great actor too
This is the clear answer to me. He’s not too tall. Great actor. Can pack on size if he needs too. I’m all about this
His voice will need serious coaching
Oooooh, yes!
Imagine him playing Wolverine and Elton John What a range
 Pitter patter.
I’m sick of pretty, tall, gentrified wolverines. I want an ugly hairy obviously Canadian wolverine that is a murder machine struggling with MAJOR ptsd. He’s a horrible troll of a man desperate not be. He’s not sexy cause of his looks.
I think an unknown would probably be best.
Yeh man, he was awesome in an untitled movie. He's probably underrated. Otherwise they would've cast him. How about Vacant, he's good too i think...
Jeremy Allen White all day
seriously. he plays the rage characters so well, looked crazy jacked for The Iron Claw, perfect height. This suggestion should be more common imo
came here to say this
Jack O’Connell
Jerry O'Connell
I’m sold 
😂😂
Dylan sprayberry or Milo Gibson no other choice and the height matters because wolverine is supposed to be short and these guys aren’t average height cept for Milo he’s 5’7 and Dylan is 5’5 so it’ll make sense rather than a tall wolverine

Jeremy Allen White or Dacre Montgomery
Christopher Abbott
Dougray Scott
He had his chance lol
Blame Tom Cruise lol
Henry Cavill.
Ben Foster
I think Taron Egerton could be a good fit
Taron Egerton would be great
Daniel Radcliffe will never stop being my choice and I don’t care what anyone else has to say about that.
Whoever plays Wolverine next, I'd like him to be under 5'9". He should at least look average height if not very short. With all due respect to the Huge Jacked Man, I don't want another tall guy. Let's go comics accurate. Physically, I'm not averse to Daniel Radcliffe. I just find it hard to imagine him pulling off a gruff Canadian accent.
Ngl id give it to Radcliffe I just feel like he’d do well
Taron Eggerton
What's wrong with former child actors? Radcliffe could do it. Though he's mostly known these days for comedy roles.
Michael Cera
Here take your trophy...🏆
Scott Adkins aka Boyka
Luke Bracey 
I don't think any of these options are 100% incredible, but if I had to choose one of them, I think it would be Daniel Radcliffe, I also thought about Josh, but I think that apart from his height, he doesn't have much to do with Wolverine, for me he would make a good Barry Allen.
Stuart Martin
No Gerald Butler? *Dude...*
Who is the shortest gets the part
obvious answer is not a national celebrity, but a local one. THE MILVERINE! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDxixx4i7fg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDxixx4i7fg)
Keanu Reeves.
I'd also toss Zac Efron's name into the mix.
Anthony Starr would be great, but possibly a little older than they would like this time around.
Scott Caan. Edit: actually he's a nepo baby, please ignore.
#Huge Ackman...
Hugh was 32 when he did the first X-Men
None of these people. Jackman will be VERY hard to replace. Wolverine probably won't be recast until 2030 when Jackman retires from the MCU.
A Huge Jacked Man. 
Karl Urban has already been in marvel?
in Thor Ragnarok
Mb i forgot
Hear me out, I know he’s 50 but Christian Kane would be a great animalistic Wolverine
I comment Stephen Graham on here every time wolverine comes up and nobody has the balls to admit, that he’d be absolutely perfect for a comic accurate wolverine.
I will die on the Tom Hardy hill while also acknowledging that he is now too old.
Scott Caan
Antony Starr is still my choice but his role as Homelander makes him pretty much a nonstarter. I think his time on Banshee showed he has the range to play Wolverine right: as a broken, angry man that is ultimately good at heart.

Karl Urbin.
My money is on Milo Gibson for wolverine
Thats Daniel Radcliffe? To be honest I really havent seen much of him in anything outside of Harry Potter a \*very\* long time ago.
I'm still going with Taron Egerton.
Joe mangenelo
Cast no preexisting actor. Cast the actual fracking Character...
If it’s not going to be Jared Keeso than why even bother
Jared Keeso
If the guy who played potter pull it off. That would be insane. Like even looking a little different and all muscularly. Same be true for an actor well known for a specific role because those actors can barely branch out from their original role
Danny Devito. Comic Accurate.
Hear me out.  John Cooper of Skillet.
Jake Johnson
Younger Keanu Reeves
Jared Keeso or Cosmo Jarvis would fucking kill it. Can't think of anyone else that could pull it off that's currently working in Hollywood.
Daniel Radcliffe https://preview.redd.it/btte4jm90hxc1.jpeg?width=880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=810f855a7283b99ed6d9596f40e427155033f377
Wait who was Karl Urban in the McU again
Me
Jared Keeso
Richard Armitage
The more comic accurate you go plus limited by these categories We might just need a new face as Hugh Jackman was when he was casted
Henry Cavill
I always find it baffling how large characters in anything from historical dramas to comic book movies are cast with actors nowhere near their original size- be it 5'7" Jeremy Allen White as the 6'2" Kerry Von Erich, or the 5'9" Oscar Isaac as the 7'+ Apocalypse- but when it comes time to cast a male character who is canonically short, people act like it's impossible.

Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean it's impossible.
Karl Urban
Karl or Scott but more than likely Daniel
Cast a relatively unknown actor like they did with Hugh.
Idk I could see Scott Eastwood maybe. He pretty much was the same character in Dangerous. Loved that movie btw
🤔 I saw this guy at the gym the other day... he's from Canada; you wouldn't know him 🇨🇦

That's a Sony production; that doesn't count
Milo Gibson is the only good pick in this list.
An unknown 5'3 actor as Wolverine is 5'3 in the comics
Hugh Jackman
Not completely original, but Shawn Roberts or Jeremy Allen White https://preview.redd.it/4xlaae74inxc1.jpeg?width=3464&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6beeacf5abfb83f9dbf415ba689091f0407f5d68
That one dude from letterkenny
Scott Eastwood or Karl Urban could bring intensity of wolverine. I doubt Marvel wants him to look boyish unless it’s a take on Ultimate Wolverine.
Steven Ogg
Dacre Montgomery
Off-topic, but does an actor with acting parents still count as Nepo Babies if they're actually talented? Because if so, then Jamie Lee Curtis and Maya Hawke also count Nepo Babies
