  • 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.

  • Multiverse of Madness will introduce MCU’s Wolverine – But it will not be played by Hugh Jackman!

    A lot of X-Men characters have been rumoured to make cameos of MCU’s upcoming Magnum Opus – Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The movie will open doors between multiverses and thus lead to the introduction of X-Men (a franchise which we have previously seen under Fox Studios) into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The cameo that fans are most eager for is that of Logan a.k.a Wolverine and according to reports, he is indeed set to appear in Multiverse of Madness. However, there is a possibility that he won’t be played by Hugh Jackman. 

    Hugh Jackman played the role of Wolverine over a span of 15 years in Fox Studios’ X-Men franchise movies. When we think of Logan, Hugh Jackman is indeed the first thing that comes to our mind. His effortless transition into the character and immaculate portrayal of it has amazed fans from the very beginning. 

    Hugh Jackman to be replaced as Wolverine?

    The fans were thus very excited at the prospect that he might return to the big-screen as MCU’s Wolverine in Multiverse of Madness. The confirmation that Professor X will feature in the movie gave fans the further assurance that Marvel was going in the right direction regarding the X-Men cameos. However, in a recent tweet, Marvel geek Joseph Deckelmeier shattered the hearts of many by saying that we will see Logan in Multiverse of Madness but he won’t be played by Hugh Jackman.

    “We will see Wolverine in #DoctorStrangeInTheMultiverseOfMadness but it definitely won’t be Hugh Jackman,” he wrote. 

    On one hand, it is only logical given the fact that Hugh Jackman is over 53 years old. Marvel would want to pursue Wolverine as a long time character in the MCU and they would thus look for someone much younger. However, on the other hand, it is just hard to imagine someone other than him playing Logan. Rumour has it that Daniel Radcliffe can play replace him as Wolverine. 

    The rumoured star cast of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is simply epic. Mister Fantastic, Namor, Black Bolt, Wolverine, Deadpool, Tom Cruise as Superior Iron-Man, Monica Rambeau’s Captain Marvel variant and many more are expected to make special appearances in the movie. 

    There will be many more surprises in the movie and we shall be able to witness all of it in the theatres on 6th May.
