Hugh Jackman: ‘Tom Hardy Would Be A Great Wolverine’

The casting of Wolverine has put producer Simon Kinberg and director Bryan Singer in trouble as replacing Hugh Jackman in the role seems impossible to them. Jackman has denied being a part of the series after ‘Wolverine 3’. He made the revelation on Instagram and captioned the photo as “WOLVERINE ...ONE LAST TIME. HJ”.

Simon Kinberg said in a statement, “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”.

According to Jackman Tom Hardy can fit in his shoes. He has been quoted as saying, “I think Tom Hardy would be a great Wolverine. He is younger than me for sure... However, I haven't really given it a lot of thought I'm always like, 'I don't want to make it too easy on the studio to replace me,' you know? I've still got one more (film) to do. I'm sure they're already talking about it, and there's some actor (they've told) 'shh, keep it quiet but we want you next”.

James Mangold will helm Wolverine 3 with Lauren Shuler Donner on board as producer. The shooting of the movie is scheduled to start from April 25. The movie is slated to hit the screens on March 3.
