  • Marvel has contacted THIS Hollywood actor for the role of Wolverine

    The trailer of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness showed a glimpse of Professor Charles X Xavier and it instantly confirmed that Marvel will now be slowly bringing the Mutants to the Marvel Cinematic Universe after such a long wait. The upcoming Magnum Opus project of Marvel (that also features Professor X) is set to release on 6th May and it is expected to have one of the most chaotic storylines and star cast ever in a Marvel movie and the fans are thus more excited than ever. 

    Many Old and New Marvel superheroes from across all of its universes will be making cameos in the Multiverse of Madness including the Mutants. However, it is not possible to introduce the entire X-Men team in the movie and thus only a few X-Men Mutants are rumoured to appear in the movie. The biggest name among them that is rumoured to be making a cameo in Multiverse of Madness is Wolverine. 

    Wolverine is undoubtedly the face of X-Men and the Mutant kind alongside Professor X and if Marvel has to bring in some mutants in Multiverse of Madness, it has to be him. It was earlier being rumoured that Hugh Jackman, who played the role of Wolverine for over a decade under the Fox Studios, will return as the clawed superhero in this movie. 

    However, Marvel would like to cast a new younger face as Wolverine in the movie as they would want to keep a character as charismatic as the Wolverine in the MCU for a long time. 

    Harry Potter fame Daniel Radcliffe was earlier being linked to the characters but the actor himself denied all those rumours. 

    Pablo Schreiber X Wolverine

    Now, actor Pablo Schreiber, who is best known for his works in American Gods and 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi has revealed that he was contacted by Marvel for the role of Wolverine. 

    “Yeah. You know I’ve seen [fancast] things pop up a lot. I’ve had a bunch of discussions with Marvel at different points in my career. We’ve never been able to find the right thing at the right time, but I’d certainly be open to that. But, yeah, it’s just staying open to the right path and I don’t know exactly what that is, but I’ll know it when I see it,” Schreiber said. 

    Talking about the possibility of him playing Canadian Wolverine, he said that ‘We flirted with that one for a while’. Daredevil and Wolverine had been Schreiber’s favourite superheroes from Childhood. He thus said that he would love to take up the job. 

    “That’d be fantastic, that would certainly be a dream casting. He’s actually my favourite hero, from a child he was always my favorite comic book. So I’ve had a long flirtation with that guy, so you know, obviously, that’d be a dream,” he added.

  • Daniel Radcliffe responds to rumours of him being cast as MCU’s Wolverine

    One of the most anticipated appearances in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Multiverse is that of Wolverine a.k.a Logan. With Professor X confirmed to be making his MCU debut in Marvel’s upcoming Magnum Opus, there are high chances that some of the other X-Men Mutants will also be making a cameo in the movie. Two of the names that have come up the most among them are Deadpool and Wolverine. However, the Wolverine cameo (if it does take place) will be tricky as it is not sure which actor will play the role. 

    While it is not even a doubt that Hugh Jackman did an exceptional job playing the role of Wolverine over the span of 15 years, he is over 53 years old now and it is unsure whether he is still fit to play the role. Although we have seen actors like William Dafoe giving masterclass performances in a challenging Superhero movie like Spider-Man: No Way Home, that was a one movie thing and if Marvel is to introduce Wolverine in the MCU, they will surely want a much younger actor as the character will be here to stay. 

    Daniel Radcliffe Cast as MCU’s Wolverine?

    According to rumours, Marvel has decided to cast Harry Potter fame Daniel Radcliffe for the role of Wolverine. According to Marvel comics. Wolverine is very short in Marvel comics (about 5’3”) and a 5’4” Daniel Radcliffe will be perfect for a comic book depiction of the character. Moreover, we have previously seen him in a Logan-type role in many projects and there is no doubt in the fact that he will be the perfect fit for the role.

    However, the actor himself has debunked these rumours in a recent interview. On being asked about the legitimacy of the Wolverine casting rumours, Daniel Radcliffe said, “So many times, people come to me like, ‘hey, man, heard about the Wolverine news. That’s really cool.’ I’m like, ‘Mate… I don’t know anything about it.”

    However, the 32-year old is clearly interested in the role as he jokingly said in the end, “Prove me wrong, Marvel!” 

     

    Daniel Radcliffe is currently working on the promotion of his upcoming movie ‘The Lost City’ in which he has worked alongside Channing Tatum, Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt. Although he has pretended not to know anything about the Wolverine casting, he might be bluffing like Andrew Garfield as well. We never know. 

    Many fans are very excited on the prospect of possibly seeing Daniel Radcliffe as MCU’s Liverpool.
