It helps that he's so fucking good at the role, and has been literally bulletproof for what, like 20+ years now?

On the other hand, Logan was such a touching finale.

They could do a couple more old man Logan stories. I'm pretty sure everyone would be down.

I would also like to see someone news take on the character though. Who could play him.

"I hope someone just comes in and does whatever the f*** they want and makes it their own.".

Hell yeah

Hollywood exec: Sorry the best we can do is Jared Leto.

They gonna have to reboot the franchise at some point with a new actor. I don't know anyone who could play wolverine the way they would write him.

Logan is probably the best marvel film ever made. I don't think anything can top it.

Nah, they've swapped actors before, with just a quick callout. They'll be big shoes to fill though

Wasn't the main thing with him wanting to step away from the character the level of fitness asked of him? If they're not gonna force him to maintain those tight af six pack abs, it probably would be fun again.

Well duh, there’s still Secret Wars coming. They’re probably just going to stay away from Wolverine for a while after that and recast in a decade or so.

I'd rather have a short-king Wolverine who doesn't pander to fascists.

I'm hoping they just make the switch in secret wars, start the whole X-Men team fresh. They can still do stand alone movies with dp and wolverine

Old thread, but hey

My other idea was that they could introduce a bunch of Wolverines in Doomsday, see which one the fans like the most, and kill off all but that one in Secret Wars

I doubt that’s what’s going to happen, but I like to muse about these things :)

He said of playing the famously 5’4” character who never visibly ages.
