@Havenless - makeup?

@PartyKiller - All CGI with the 90s cartoon voice actor

@AC1 - don’t look part someone able to explain valkery in comics valkery is white woman in movie she black woman that don’t look part in comics I don’t know what it is

@AC1 - What I don't get is how everyone is so quick to say that they should just pick the person best for the role and appearance shouldn't matter. Like skin color. Yet, pick a tall actor to play Wolverine and suddenly everyone loses their minds.

@SpideyQuad - correct height for who? Egerton is 5'9", comic Wolverine is 5'3" and Cyclops is 6'1"

And again, I don't care about the actors' height - I loved Hugh Jackman as Wolverine even though the comic book and movie versions were very different in a lot of ways including height, and as I said I could see Taron as Cyclops even though he's technically shorter than the character is in the comics (James Marsden is roughly the same height as Taron Egerton) but I just don't see him as Wolverine - he doesn't have that gruff, rough around the edges, threatening vibe and I'd also like to see someone who looks a little older as Logan, maybe in their late 30s or even their 40s, seeing as he's meant to be over 100 years old but his aging slowed once he reached his prime (which is usually around 40)

@AC1 - Yeah man. I don't get it. Wolverine being short is an appearance thing and doesn't really impact his character at all, aside from the fact that this little guy is a total badass. Is completely a visual thing. Because when you really look at Wolverine, his height isn't what makes his character and it isn't what makes him a badass. Let's face it, he has an unbreakable adamantium skeleton, a very strong healing factor, and six, one foot long razor sharp claws on each hand capable of slicing through anything. If he stabs you, you get stabbed 3 times at once. Not to mention heightened senses, agility, and strength. Anyone with that power set would be a badass.

And I couldn't agree more about him not being the main character. But they need to do it like The Avengers movies. I don't really feel like any one Avenger was the main character in any of those movies. They all had their time time to shine and their own little back stories and character arcs.

Wolverine should be the X-Men's Hulk. He's there. He's awesome. He gets a couple scenes dedicated to him kicking major ass. And everyone loves him. He should just have the added piece of being the anti-authoritarian character on the team. And they shouldn't explore his past in the X-Men movies. He should have a mysterious past than no one knows. His past can be explored in his own, inevitable solo films.

Personally, I would like to see a Wolverine trilogy. First movie is the same story from Wolverine Origin. The comic, not the crappy Fox-Men film. Have it end with him leaving his home and going out into the wilderness and getting picked up by Weapon X.

Second movie should be Weapon X. Just like the old Marvel Comics Presents mini-series. Show him going through the whole bonding process, breaking loose and going on a berserker rage through the facility, and end with him escaping into the Canadian wilderness.

Third movie should be Alpha Flight. James Hudson finds Wolverine in the woods. Brings him in, gives him a family and a team. Wolverine gets close with Heather Hudson and causes a rift in the team. Wolverine goes out on his own, but James wants him back for their team. They fight, Wolverine wins and leaves, only to meet Xavier at the end.

The trilogy would be a good showing of his past and explain how he ended up with the X-Men.

@SpideyQuad - fair enough, and if Taron is cast as Wolverine I'll definitely give him the benefit of the doubt

@Superspecialawesomeguy - Milo Gibson has his dad's crazy eyes so he is a great choice i hadn't thought of. Scott Eastwood has his dad's crows feet and kind of looks older than he is. That could be a problem for someone that is supposed to barely age.

@HydraB0b - a lot of people's ideas of casting are centered around how much the performer already looks like the character. Jackman's Wolverine barely looks like Wolverine in the movies outside of his hair, but Hugh Jackman looks nothing like Wolverine in pretty much any other film. A lot of the transformation is in hair and makeup
