Whether or not Hardy would do it is up for debate, but I think the bigger stumbling block will be how the hell you follow up Jackman's run. He's played a major role in four X-films and a trio of solo films over the course of a decade and a half. That's a damn impressive run, and while I don't think it's impossible to find someone to fill the role after he's hung it all up, I think Fox should probably give the character a rest for awhile. You can't just do his final Wolverine film in 2017 and then, come 2019, have __________ make his debut. I think there needs to be a period of rest.
