lol i honoestly thought jean claude van damme would play a good wolverine but ever since seeing hugh as logan, i take back my comment
Purefoy reminds me that Tom Jane was actually an audition away from getting the part. Singer wanted him, but the execs needed a screen test and he was too busy.James Purefoy. I just watched Solomon Kane and even if he looks a bit like Hugh Jackman, he could definitely play him.
If they had the bux . . . Tom Cruise
I know people have problems with his politics but he's got a good body type for Wolverine and he's a damn good actor. Get him in the Les Grossman hair suit and some Wolvie style hair and there you.
Hugh Jackman is definitely not the problem. We probably don't realize it but I believe we're in the golden age of many superhero castings. Will there ever be a better Wolverine, Iron Man, Thor, or Captain America than we have now? I doubt it.
Hugh gives his Wolverine a sense of warmth and depth while being completely ferocious at the same time. I'd hate to see him go.
Yeah, the Wolverine ferocity has been seriously lacking in my opinion. I'm not saying it's Hugh's fault, it's just the writing. Hugh has been good. I just would like to see a Wolverine done by a creative team that embraces the feral and darker aspects of the character. This is a guy that has a past full of violence and death. Who at times can't keep his rage at bay and loses control. You never saw that with Jackman's Logan. To me it is an element that is vital to my understanding and appreciation of the character. It is the reason he is a compelling a character. Without his feral nature he is just another cyclops with a slightly worse attitude.
True. But I don't think Jackman's Logan is so much a rough guy with warmth shining through as he is a charming guy with a cocky macho swagger.eh, the Wolverine I read in the comics from the late 70s to the mid-90s, always had that warmth shining through his character.

Honestly I think Tom gets bum wrap as an actor because people fail to discern his characters from his real life persona. He really is a good actor and I feel could give Logan considerable depth and power lacking in the Jackman incarnation with the right script.
It will never happen but that's not really the point here.
