X-Men has no plans to recasting Wolverine once Hugh Jackman is done playing him.
Hugh Jackman has revealed his plans to quit playing Wolverine for a while now, and it seems he’s about to finally make good on his promises.
The actor has said The Wolverine 2 will be his final outing as the beloved mutant, so what will happen after that?
Fox is going to want to do more movies with Wolverine, so X-Men masterminds Bryan Singer and Simon Kinberg must have some kind of plan right?
Not really. In a recent interview, Bryan Singer and Kinberg admitted they “couldn’t imagine” anybody replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.
“I do think you would want to figure out how to tell more Wolverine stories. So either we would try to entice Hugh to come back and eat more chicken and work out for a few months, or we would have to figure out a creative way to move forward. Honestly, I can’t imagine anybody else playing the part, and there’s not too many characters I can say that for.”
So, basically, at this point, the only other option is to beg Hugh Jackman to return with a ton of money. Or, use CGI to recreate scenes without Hugh Jackman.
