With Hugh Jackman hanging up the claws for good after his excellent swan-song in this year’s Logan, there has been steady speculation regarding who his replacement will be. Honestly, who could replace an actor who has made a part his own for 17 years? Even X-Men producer Hutch Parker can’t comprehend the post-Hugh future right now.
However, that hasn’t stopped fans casting actors, Hugh Jackman has his pick for a successor, and of course actors will now start to cast themselves in the coveted role as well. American Gods’ Pablo Schreiber (Mad Sweeney) recently told ComicBook.com that he would love to play Wolverine in an upcoming X-Men film, and whether his brother Liev Schreiber would join him:
“I was a huge fan growing up of Wolverine and of Daredevil. Those are my two favorite guys and I would jump at the chance to play either one of them in a second. And you know I think Hugh is done now with Wolverine, so maybe it’s time for a reboot. Maybe it’s time for a new Wolverine… Maybe we can reboot Sabretooth. I don’t think he would agree to play Sabretooth to my Wolverine.”
It would certainly be interesting to see two real life brothers go head-to-head as Wolverine and Sabretooth. Though, with Hugh Jackman gone, perhaps it would make sense to recast Sabretooth as well.
What do you think of Pablo Schreiber donning the claws? Let us know in the comments below…
