Hugh Jackman Suggests MAD MAX Star Tom Hardy Should Be The Next WOLVERINE

Hugh Jackman Suggests MAD MAX Star Tom Hardy Should Be The Next WOLVERINE

While he'll likely make an appearance in X-Men: Apocalypse (AND Deadpool if we're lucky), Hugh Jackman has only one Wolverine movie left before he hangs up the claws for good.

Since he first played Wolverine in 2000's X-Men, Hugh Jackman has become synonymous with the role of Wolverine. All these years later and the actor is still playing the fan-favourite mutant, but he's finally going to call it quits with The Wolverine sequel in 2017. Whether Fox will recast - no easy feat - or put the character on the shelf for a few years obviously remains to be seen (Deadpool or Gambit could easily become the new "face" of the X-Men franchise in Jackman's absence), but finding a new actor to play Wolverine isn't going to be easy. Luckily, in an interview to promote Pan, the Australian actor revealed his pretty much perfect idea for who could take over from him; The Dark Knight Rises and Legend star, Tom Hardy! Check out his comments in full below:


Do you think Tom Hardy would make a good Wolverine or should the studio go for an unknown? How about just forgetting the character? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts below.

Tom Hardy would be great. He's short, can get jacked, and he's got gruff. But those lips....

I hope whoever makes that choice has some balls and casts a short, hairy, surly looking bad ass.

Is there a role Tom Hardy hasn't been fan-cast in?

Nah it should be Daryl from The Walking Dead. The guy that played Merle should be Sabretooth.

I'm all for Tom Hardy playing Wolverine. Let's hope at some point in time that we actually get a Wolverine mask in one of these films.

Hardy would never play Wolverine, he's a DC guy. But even Jackman can dream, I guess.

I'd be cool with Hardy, but it'd be nice to have a Wolverine that's short or average height.

"Hugh Jackman was NEVER Wolverine."


The fanboyism is strong in this one.

Great suggestion! Heck yeah Hardy would make a great Logan and he's not too tall. I need an X-Men reboot where

Wolverine - Tom Hardy
Cyclops - Michael Fassbender
Jean Grey - Jessica Chastain
Rogue - Jennifer Lawrence
Storm - Angela Bassette (she's not too old)

DO IT! Hes a better representation of wolverine physically as he's short, gruff and tough. But Jackman is still a boss b

@GrilledPopcorn - LOL, so you want to recast the X-Men with actors who have already played the X-men's foes? It's crazy, but why the hell not. I'll join you:

Magneto - Hugh Jackman
Mystique - Anna Paquin
Toad - James Marsden
Sabretooth - Patrick Stewart

Now thats a cast!

I doubt Fox would touch recasting Wolverine for a looooooooong time if ever.
