when it comes time to pass the torch
adamantium claws we believe these actors
would be more than capable of taking on
the mantle of Marvel’s most badass
mutants
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
actors who should become the new
Wolverine I come from nothing before
long I’ll return to nothing let me kill
this man for you Hugh Jackman confirmed
that the upcoming third Wolverine movie
would be his final performance as the
legendary x-man of course that doesn’t
mean an end for Wolverine himself and
for this list we’ll be looking at the
male actors who we believe could take on
the role of this iconic character I used
to thank you one-of-a-kind over him I
was wrong number 10 Michael Shannon this
council has been disbanded for being
almost indestructible Wolverine is a
deeply traumatized character whose
emotional scars run deep who better to
bring out the wounded and primal side of
this animal more than General Zod
himself not really known for playing
upbeat and civil kinds of characters
Michael Shannon’s roles in Man of Steel
and 99 homes can show that he can pull
off ruthless and rage-filled which is
ideal when your character needs to go
berserk at a moment’s notice
however the real appeal comes from how
well he captures pain and loss something
integral to Logan just as much as his
brutality I was bred to be a warrior
trained my entire life to master my
senses where did you train on a five
number nine Scott Eastwood you’re ready
for this
we’ll see while he’s better known as a
supporting actor in large-scale features
like fury gran torino and Suicide Squad
the son of legendary actor Clint
Eastwood could provide a fresh face for
the character providing Logan with a
more youthful look we’ve seen hints that
he can play a rather beaten and violent
individual in smaller roles but given
the chance we think he could
reinvigorate the aged x-man he’s young
enough to play Wolverine and almost any
point in his life so he could be brought
in into any timeline with relative ease
it’s all I know
number eight Mikael Houseman
he made us fall in love with Daario
naharis in Game of Thrones so why not
give me a shot as Wolverine as Daario
naharis he showed off that he’s very
much at home with effortless charm and
kicking all kinds of ass which is what
Wolverine does on a minute-to-minute
basis we have no doubt that he could
also bring some of the more somber
aspects of the character to life but in
all honesty we just love to see him
breaking some heads
letting out snide remarks and more than
likely betting one of his fellow ex
ladies before the day is done besides
he’s already got the hair down here see
how queen she’s in a good mood
number 7 Scott Adkins I’m not the real
champion here the majority of this
actress filmography tends to lean
towards the b-movie side of things his
most well-known role being that a
Russian fighter Yuri Boyka in the
undisputed franchise why would we throw
him in the ring for a chance to take on
Wolverines title because the man is an
absolute beast
his fighting prowess and physique can’t
be denied you need look no further than
his fight scenes to show that he could
easily bring out the Canadian death
machines most violent side throw in a
set of claws and we think Adkins would
rack up quite the cinematic body count
number six Charlie Hunnam I didn’t know
what to say still don’t as Jackson sons
of anarchy we were presented with a
deeply flawed human being who despite
his bad decisions and tendency to fight
himself on the wrong side of the law was
willing to do anything for his family
clean yourself up Jax
in Pacific Rim we were given a natural
lead whose determination and charisma
never fell out of place despite the
light-hearted feel of the movie
all-in-all Hunnam knows how to portray a
broken character and knows how to have
fun too
that’s the recipe for Wolverine if we
ever heard one number five Karl Urban
two real names were punched my sister
truly only have you wanted her steps
he’s already breathed new life into one
iconic badass so why not another urban
has already shown his talent in
cinematic masterpieces like the Lord of
the Rings trilogy as well as reboots
like the Star Trek series but we really
have to shine light on his
interpretation of Dredd the role that
finally gave the gritty futuristic judge
the respect it deserved wondering when
you’d remember he left your helmet
behind Sarah helmet can interfere with
my psychic abilities thinkable and might
interfere with some more the darkness of
the character his stone-cold approach to
killing his ability to speak to the
source material urban just keeps ticking
the boxes in what would make a great
Wolverine in fact he’s one of the few
that we think could actually pull off
the character’s classic costume I may
throw up on you I think these things are
pretty safe pander to me kid one tiny
crack in the hall in our blood boils in
13 seconds number 4 Joel Edgerton gonna
get yourself killed I mean you’re a
you’re a goddamn teacher you got no
business in the ring with those animals
actually I used to be one of those hands
this actor has more than proved he’s a
Hollywood heavyweight with roles like
black mass and the gift reflecting that
he can play a tormented soul lurking on
the fringe of society fully
encapsulating the lone wolf element
Wolverine is known for the role that
really brings him to the forefront is
that a friend in Colin in warrior or he
showed that he can not only bulk up to
an obscene degree but also that even the
nicest of guys can be a badass
Randy clone
it’s pretty much a shirt that if he were
to slip into Logan’s shoes that we would
get a character just as likely to
reflect on past pains as he is to snap a
man in half
[Music]
number three richard armitage so you
said this place would be easy to find
what’s my way that’s right you might
know him for his towering performance as
the short statured Thorin Oakenshield
in the hobbit trilogy and while that
showed that he could easily channel the
flawed hero archetype his work on the
small screen is where he really shines
he fluctuated between sinister and
sympathetic as Guy of Gisbourne in Robin
Hood and was downright terrifying as
Francis Dolarhyde in Hannibal there is
not what you owe me Oh
as far as portraying men with shattered
psyches trying to contain their inner
monsters he has quite the extensive list
of qualifications and we’d be more than
happy for him to let Wolverine out of
the cage
number two Tom Hardy I told myself they
cannot touch me
they have long dead Charles Bronson bein
Matt’s the Kray twins this man has
brought them all to life and put his own
stellar spin on each of these real-life
and fictional icons and we feel that his
take on the Wolverine would be no
different bases cost airstrike victory
has defeated you we’ve all seen just how
intense he can be physically look no
further than the Dark Knight Rises and
warrior where he broke all kinds of
bones of course he’s got the charm to
match and seeing Tom Hardy with a pair
of adamantium claws would be pretty
friggin epic
[Applause]
before we reveal our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions yes
number one Hugh Jackman trust me I know
how these things play out oh because
you’re from the future
no because of these seriously all those
other guys Hugh Jackman still is
Wolverine you wanna show me
are we cheating here absolutely it’s
just that we’re not prepared to see our
favorite actor from down under give up
the crown just yet my life you make it
sound as if I stole something from him
as I recall it was you who volunteered
for the procedure
for over a decade he’s been tearing bad
guys apart and setting the trend for
other superheroes to follow he is one of
the few people we have to thank for the
current explosion of quality superhero
films and it’s almost criminal to have
to see him go right as the Jar is
beginning to peek especially now that
Deadpool has finally entered the arena
oh hello I know right
whose balls did I have to fondle to get
my very own movie I can’t tell you but
it does rhyme with povery so do you
agree with our list which actor named
Hugh Jackman do you think would make the
best Wolverine and with new top 10s
published every day be sure to subscribe

catching up to do yeah
