Hugh Jackman"s Choice To Be His Wolverine Replacement Is Proven To Be A Perfect Casting In Marvel Art

Summary

• Hugh Jackman previously suggested that Tom Hardy would be perfect to take over as Wolverine.
• Fan art has imagined Tom Hardy as Wolverine, proving he has the perfect look for the beloved clawed mutant.
• Tom Hardy's time in Sony's Spider-Man Universe might soon come to an end, opening the door for him to be recast as Wolverine.

Hugh Jackman revealed who he'd want to replace him as Wolverine back in 2015, and MCU fan art has been resurfacing, proving that this casting choice would be perfect. Following the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, Hugh Jackman has now played James "Logan" Howlett's Wolverine for 24 years, becoming synonymous with the clawed mutant, despite his casting being controversial back in 1999. Jackman replaced Mission: Impossible 2's Dougray Scott in the role, but speculation has now started to rise about who will replace Jackman himself as Wolverine in the MCU's future.
Back in September 2015, Hugh Jackman revealed to MTV UK that he imagined English actor Tom Hardy as being perfect to continue his legacy as Wolverine following his retirement after Logan. Shortly after these comments, fan art shared by spdrmnkyxxiii proved that Tom Hardy has the perfect look for Wolverine.
Tom Hardy went on to have a successful superhero career as Eddie Brock's Venom in Sony's Spider-Man Universe, but it's still possible that the acclaimed actor could replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine in the MCU.

Why Tom Hardy Would Be A Perfect Wolverine Casting Close Tom Hardy would be an inspired choice to play Wolverine in the MCU's upcoming X-Men reboot and beyond. At 5ft 9in, Tom Hardy is still taller than Marvel Comics' Wolverine's 5ft 3in, but this casting would help to assuage some of the criticism earned by casting the 6ft 2in Hugh Jackman in the role of the short mutant. Known for his often-gritty, tough and hardened roles in the likes of Peaky Blinders, Taboo and Mad Max: Fury Road, among others, Tom Hardy has proved his ability to deliver the gruffness and rough-around-the-edges nature of Wolverine.
The one issue with casting Tom Hardy in the role of Wolverine is the fact that he currently portrays Eddie Brock, the host of the alien symbiote Venom, in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Hardy's Venom is the most popular aspect of Sony's often-lackluster live-action Marvel franchise, but, despite this, 2024's upcoming Venom: The Last Dance is expected to be his final movie as the Lethal Protector. If this is the case, the door may be open for Tom Hardy to assume a new superhero role, and Wolverine would be a fantastic choice.

Henry Cavill made a cameo appearance as a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & Wolverine, but the charming former Superman actor isn't expected to reprise the role in the MCU's future. Instead, Marvel Studios is speculated to completely reinvent Wolverine after Hugh Jackman's final departure, perhaps following a suspected soft-reboot of the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars. Tom Hardy's previous tough roles, shorter stature and superhero experience make him an inspired choice for Wolverine in the MCU.
