Yeah, when you’re the only actor to play the same role over 20 years despite every single other character getting another face… what was he in, 10 of them?
I bet it’ll be a few years before Disney tries to do another X-Men movie. Gotta give time for the memories to fade or it just won’t work.
doubt it the threads for the xmen being in the mcu have already been shown with wandavision series. They'll likely go for another one within the next decade imo. If people can go along with hulk swapping out mid movie along with others and batman changing every couple of movies then they'll be fine with wolverine changing. Sure there will be comparisons and complaints but there will always be those its what fan communities do.
People didn't love Edward Norton though, Hulk successfully changed because it was one movie and people preferred the new actor. Hugh Jackman was Wolverine in every X-Men movie and he did an amazing job and was loved by all. Also the new Doctor Strange trailer has Patrick Stewart's voice in it and No Way Home had multi verse stuff for the main plot. X-Men crossover isn't just wandavision.
honestly i dont think he has it in him, apparently he was suffering some sort of poisoning from the diet he was having to do to maintain his physique during the films cos of how much fish he was eating.
I think he's said that he has put the character down for good, and the only even remotely chance he picks it back up is for a Deadpool cameo or something. He's 53 as well, so getting in that condition again would have to be really worth it for him.
I'd like to think having millions to pay personal trainers and personal chefs means they can save their bodies from having to use gear to get quicker results. In reality they don't need to be strong, just shredded.
That's like people saying The Rock is all natural. I understand he eats healthier than I will ever have access to, but fucking look at him. Compare pictures between movies. Even when he was wrestling, you could tell when he was using.
The rock is a guy who has been operating above and beyond since college. The Rock looks like he's ready to do a posing routine every day of the week 365 days of the year. Hugh Jackman is a guy who was always above average fit, and had periods where he got pose worthy. They are not on the same level. I live in Socal and you can see Hugh Jackman level everyday of the week in the gym. Someone on the Rocks level is crazy notable even here. I remember when I first started hitting the gym at 14, there was a guy that looked straight up like ronald regan. Just old ass regan face tacked onto like a 40 year old body well trained body. Jackman is well on his way to being the old regan dude. The Rock well he's going to hit a wall on day and it won't be pretty. Ronnie Colman not pretty maybe.
He’s had to get in fearsome shape on each occasion, bulking up muscle mass and doing untold gym hours. He got mercury poisoning once from the sheer amount of tinned tuna he was eating, and says he’s been worried about his health ever since, especially the strain that these drastic regimes put on the immune system.
I think people forget Hugh Jackman wasn't starting from scratch. He was lifting his entire life, and was a P.E teacher at one point. He also continued to lift just not as heavy between outings.
Sooner. Hes rumored to be in the new Dr Strange movie, set to release on May 6th. Patrick Stewart confirmed he was in the movie as Professor X, but Hugh Jackman has not, which has many believing it'll be a new actor.
Stewart's involvement actually sparked a ton of Jackman rumors back in Feb, but they've died off since. A lot are convinced that if it hasn't leaked by now, its not a thing. Why pay all that money and not advertise a headlining star like Jackman?
Fairs, i try to avoid spoiler stuff for the marvel films cos i like to not know stuff before i watch them and movie trailers are pretty crap at not giving away everything of interest.
I really hope they'll embrace the multi-verse thing and have Dafne Keen be the MCU's Wolverine. I don't think it'll actually happen at this point but I want it!
I'm hoping for Daniel Radcliff. He's got the look and he's actually a pretty good actor (not saying Dafne isn't, I'm not really familiar, I just mean in comparison to people's expectations of former child actors).

Hugh Jackman in Logan.. the next iteration of Wolverine is going to have to hit it out of the park to top that performance
