Since Hugh Jackman laid the claws, many Wolverine fans have wanted Daniel Radcliffe to reprise the role of the famous member of the X-Men. “So many times people have come up to me and said, ‘Hey man, I heard the news about Wolverine. It’s super cool.” And I’m like, ‘Man, there’s nothing cool about it, I don’t know anything about that,’” the actor explained to Comicbook.com on his way to the premiere of his new movie, The Lost Cityon the sidelines of the South by Southwest festival which was held in Austin this week.
Because if it is true that the face of Daniel Radcliffe could perfectly correspond to the character, he considers that his build is not suitable. But while being unenthusiastic about playing the character, the franchise star Harry Potter readily admits that he fits the profile.
The right frame
“Someone might say, ‘Actually, Wolverine is short in the comics, so you should get a short guy to do it!’ But I don’t see myself doing it, I don’t see them going from Hugh Jackman to me. But who knows? Prove me wrong, Marvel,” Daniel Radcliffe continued.
Indeed, the actor measures just 1.65 meters while Hugh Jackman culminates at 1.88 meters! But before casting a new Wolverine, should the studios still relaunch the franchise? X-Men which, for the moment, does not seem to be a priority.
