As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of comic book-inspired gaming under my belt, I must say that the debate about who could fill Hugh Jackman‘s claws (or rather Wolverine’s) is a topic that stirs up as much excitement as a high-stakes raid in World of Warcraft.
Investigating all the hidden jokes scattered throughout “Deadpool & Wolverine” could take as much time as the movie itself. One joke that left fans in stitches was when actor Hugh Jackman transformed into an accurate comic book version of Wolverine. In one scene, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) goes through a list of Logan variations, and the first one he encounters is noticeably shorter than the usual one we’re familiar with – at least on screen. So, how does Hugh Jackman stack up against Wolverine in the original comics? Interestingly, there’s around a foot difference between them.
I stand at an impressive 6 feet 2 inches (1.91 meters), while the Canadian character known for his retractable claws towers over me at a diminutive 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 meters). Despite our size difference, he’s proven to be one of the most formidable comic book characters in history, facing off against giants like the Incredible Hulk and emerging victorious. This is evident in the movie “Deadpool & Wolverine,” where they shared an Avengers cameo, depicting a fierce battle between them. Considering this iconic role, I wonder who among today’s actors could step into those clawed boots should Jackman decide to retire. Who do you think would make a suitable replacement for the mighty Wolverine?
Joe Pesci is the perfect height for Wolverine, but other stars might work as well
In a comic-accurate adaptation of Logan, it’s a select group of actors who could convincingly portray his co-stars. Among those with the right height is Joe Pesci, whose powerful performances in films like “Goodfellas,” “Casino,” and “Raging Bull” demonstrate his ability to be intimidating on screen. With claws added to his character, he could potentially bring an even more intense level of fearsome presence.
If we’re looking for an actor with significant charm and appeal, Tom Cruise, who stands at 5’7″, could potentially be a great choice. Although fans might dream of him as a new Iron Man, considering his almost casting in the past, a fiery Cruise as Weapon X could turn out to be the unexpected addition we didn’t realize was missing. However, Taron Egerton, another beloved star, is a strong contender for replacing Jackman as Wolverine. Although he’s slightly taller at 5’9″, it would require the blessing of the current X-Man first. In an interview with Empire Magazine, as reported by Screen Rant, Jackman expressed his thoughts on Egerton in the role: “Taron is one of the most gifted actors around, and his range is extraordinary. But he just needs to be patient for a bit.”
