Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is up for debate, but one thingcomic bookfans will never be able to accept is that Hugh Jackman istoo damn tallto play Wolverine.
In the comics Wolverine is about 5'3”, making Hugh Jackman an entire foot higher. While I’d hardly suggest height is the most important part of Logan’s character, it’d be nice if the next Wolverine were on the shorter end of the spectrum.

A behind-the-scenes photo ofDeadpool & Wolverineshows actor Luke Bennet stepped in to play this variant in the latestMCUadventure, and as you can see fromthe picture, the guy looks the part without Hugh Jackman’s face plastered onto his.
“The actor who played short Wolverine lowkey looks better here than he does in the actual movie,” one Twitter userenthused. “I genuinely love the hair & mutton chops here holy shit.”

“He actually could be MCU Wolverine honestly,” A Reddit useradded. “He’s a bit of a Hugh look-alike so I don’t know if they’d go with that just to distance themselves… but he could.”
If for whatever reason Hugh Jackman decides he’d probably rather not do the Wolverine thing until he’s 90, maybe Marvel could give Luke Bennet a call.
