After Hugh Jackman retires?

One of the unique things about Logan is he's pretty short. Would you choose a short actor to play him? Or does it really matter?

I think at this point movie fans would hate it if they replaced Hugh Jackman with some really short guy.

So it may be one of those things that doesn't translate well on the big screen. Especially not for the most popular X-Men character on the big screen who has been portrayed as having pretty much the perfect body for the last 10+years.

I'm sure they will come up with someone pretty unknown, just as they did when Hugh Jackman won the role. No names come to mind for me
(Zac Efron? - NO.)

A little look down memory lane, at who was considered in the past -

Dougray Scott - actually won the role! But was forced to drop out after breaking a limb on the set of MI2 (Thanks, Tom Cruise, for screwing up my chance at super-stardom!)

Seriously considered:

Viggo Mortensen
Aaron Eckhart
Edward Norton

Michael J Fox.

I think it was because in the casting process during 1999, Norton's Oscar nominated performance as a brutal skinhead in American History X was fresh in their minds.

Nah, he'd be too Thorry

Once upon a time Russell Crowe would have been perfect. Hes kinda old now.

Jason Statham (who's just a yr older thn Jackmn).

Statham with hair would look comical at this point. ESPECIALLY Wolverine's hair.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Jack Nicholson or jack black

Robert Pattinson

Daniel Radcliffe , oh wait he wants to be Robin lol

Gal Gadot

Actually Nicholson in his Cuckoo's nest days would have been one hell of a Wolverine.

Dave Cockrum's drawing of Wolverine in the 1970's looked like he was patterned after Nicholson. By comparison, John Byrne's version of him resembled a young Robert Shaw.

how about 3 actors from true blood..

alexander skarsgard

I see Alex as more the Daken type, with the shape of his face and the right haircut.

Let's remember that Jackman, great as he is, fell into the role when Dougray Scott got injured on MI2. We forgave him being a lot taller than the real Logan because he was so great (and about 3-4 inches taller than Dougray Scott as well.) Maybe they should actively look for an actor who's under 6 feet this time.

i am kind of hoping they don't and stay with a actor over 6ft.

Skaarsgard is SUPER tall tho

Which is why he was considered for Thor. Generally, Thor and Wolverine actors should have opposite looks.

Which is why id still say Tom Hardy would be great.

I agree Tom Hardy would be great as Logan

He's already taken over the role of Mad Max, and is being courted for Dr. Strange (though I hope Benedict Cumberbatch gets it), after already playing Bane. How many famous genre roles can he handle and people accept him in?

I doubt he'll be Dr. Strange. That's a very odd casting choice to me. And Jackman is going to be Logan for atleast the next 2 movies so that's still a ways down the road.

Mads Mikkelsen should be Dr. Strange.
