In The Wolverine (out July 26), Hugh Jackman’s Logan struggles with his immortality — a nasty side effect of the healing factor that allows his body to keep itself in perfect form indefinitely. Of course, Jackman himself doesn’t have any such power (though his bigger-than-your-entire-body biceps might lead you to believe otherwise). And as the actor dons the sideburns for the sixth time, fans can’t help wondering if the actor might eventually be replaced by a new face the same way Andrew Garfield stepped into Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man suit, or Henry Cavill inherited Superman’s cape.
Testament The Story of Moses Review: The series depicts Moses' journey from an outcast and murderer to a prophet and liberator of the Hebrews. It interweaves docudrama and interviews, to present a more humanly image of the prophet.
Rest In Peace Review: A man in debt disappears. Years later, he considers reconnecting with his family, but his previous life takes him by surprise.
Nerd Reactor writes that a new international post has revealed the return of a fan-favorite Toho monster.
If he's not coming back, they might as well pack it in for the character for a while because Hugh Jackman is the epitome of Wolverine. There's just no one who could fill these shoes right now.
They'll get rid of him eventually, obviously. But I doubt quite yet. The thing about Jackman's Wolverine is his appearance/story is that of a grown adult; so I doubt they would go the route of bringing him to his teenage years, etc like with Spider-Man.
They would likely just do a role change like they did with Sabertooth in the Wolverine movies from the different X-Men actor. (which was poor)
They could do a reboot of the Wolverine Saga? Or they could simply pull off an X-Men movie where wolverine does not have as huge a role and switch out the character then?
i would say if they are going to do it... then do it during the Alpha Flight movie. We are all going to be focused on Puck and Sasquatch more then anyone.
Or during the Inhumans movie which will have us all focusing on different characters there.
Honestly though, I have always been baffled by people saying that Hugh Jackman is a good Wolverine, while I personally feel the exact opposite. While he definitely has done a good job, acting wise and all, I feel like the actor for Wolverine could and should be someone else, who looks the part more than he does. Not only that but even as far as Wolverine goes, they hardly ever showcase his keen sense of hearing, among other things. All of which are essential to Wolverine´s character, according to the comics at leat.
I got to say this once more, while Hugh has done a good job with the character, no movie has yet to depict Wolverine correctly or "well".
Do you think they will give Dougray Scott a chance since he was the original choice for the character.
