The dust has barely settled and we’ve already had a long list of actors who would love to take over Hugh Jackman’s role as Wolverine after Logan. One of those interested happens to be a fan favourite, Scott Eastwood.
20th Century Fox chairman and CEO Stacey Snider recently revealed that the studio is open to the idea of rebooting Wolverine with a new actor down the line. However, since it’s barely been six months since Jackman’s retirement, it probably won’t be very soon. Of course, that hasn’t stopped fans from suggesting their favourites. One of the names mentioned a few times in fan casts has been Clint Eastwood’s son, Scott Eastwood. Turns out, the 31-year-old actor would like a crack at Wolverine.
While at New York Comic-Con to promote his new movie Pacific Rim: Uprising, Eastwood spoke with Comicbook.com, who asked him what superhero he’d like to play in an upcoming film. He enthusiastically replied:
“Weapon X. I mean, Logan! You gotta give it to Wolverine! Wolverine, all day.”
Should the baton be passed on to Eastwood? We’re not sure. Those are really big boots to fill. Besides all that, Eastwood is currently tied up in the DCEU as Lieutenant GQ Edwards from Suicide Squad. That said, Wolverine is by far the most famous of the X-Men. He’ll probably be back on screen soon and Eastwood certainly isn’t a bad choice.
คิดว่าขอให้เปรี้ยงเถอะพี่สก๊อตแป้กมาหลายเรื่องแล้ว บทรองๆทั้งน้าน
Isn’t there a clause in the Marvel movies actors contracts that prevent the stars from also being in DC movies?
I thought I read that.
For the love of all that is holy, please stop making Wolverine films. Enough is enough!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…after watching the rock kick his ass in fate of the furious lmao I can’t take Scott seriously and anyway he doesn’t have half the presence his dad has…but that’s just me eye candy isn’t everything…and Id rather watch an old Clint Eastwood than a young Scott Eastwood any day
The son of one of the most badass men ever, playing one of the most badass characters ever? I can live with that.
Chris Gannon, thoughts?
Hmmmm I will have to research him as an actor and see what he is capable of. Still not ready to accept Jackmen moving on lol
He better start hitting the gym and he better not fuck it up if he gets the part
I can see it
Joel Stransky would make a terrible Wolverine…
Sure
Hell No!!
no
I always said it. Off course, he’s perfect
Too tall, hugh was good but remember logan is supposed to be small
I’d like to be the next Wolverine. Can I have a story too, please?
Are you also a handsome movie star who also happens to be the son of a Hollywood legend? If yes, contact Heat magazine.
Sorry, got an exclusive deal with Chat! 😉
Hell no
People complained that Hugh Jackman looked to much like Clint Eastwood in wolverine so he bulked up….I know let’s cast Clint Eastwood’s son who literally looks exactly like Clint Eastwood to play wolverine…
This fancy boy would do a combat visor better justice bub.
So would I, but that doesn’t mean shit either.
Hhhmmm, he’s the right age, rugged good looks. But isn’t he a tad too short? I’d like to see Scott play the role over some skinny young punk. I fear they will choose someone that is too “pretty”.
Too short? Wolverine is 5’3″ in the comics. The codename Wolverine was dubbed because Logan is short.
didn’t know that. Always took him for like 6ft.
Yup Wolverine is supposed to be short. Hugh Jackman was a perfect wolverine. But he was too tall. But we all let it slide haha.
They also do cinematography tricks to make people look taller as well so….its cool with the height
Yep, Logan broke the mold for comic book heroes. Short, stocky and was actually drawn more rugged, wild man and less attractive, pretty boy back in the day. His apparent age should be 40ish even though he’s far older. He was created smaller, the underdog, but not afraid of predators way bigger than him. Real Wolverines will hold their own against Grizzly Bears… 😆
Danny Trejo is super short and they made him taller than everyone else in the machete movies.
Too short? The original wolverine is 5’3” Hugh wasn’t casted because of how tall he is, but because he looked the part that is now iconic.
Hugh was good, but was waaaaaaaay too tall, he’s all legs lol. At least they tried to make him look shorter with camera angles and having other actors wear platform shoes.
Eastwood would look the part I think though my personal choice is Luke Evans.
We’re not going to find a suitable 5ft3 actor realistically so like Jackman I think it’s something we’ve got to make our peace with
wolverine is…short
Tad too short???? LMAO!!!
Jackman’s height was the only part about Wolverine that didn’t match up.
wolverine is suppose to be 5’3 sooooooo
Yes Alejandro, matt, andrew & mark. We have established that I was incorrect in my statement. Move on. I’ve acknowledged this already thank you.
Wolverine is short lol
No worries Aubree Mason, now you know, all good :)
He’s shorter than Hugh, which is good. If they grizzled him up a bit, I guess he’d be an alright choice. Needs to be less pretty and more rugged like his old man.
I’m still struggling to imagine anyone but HJ as Wolverine.
Ignacio Zenteno
This guy doesn’t get any love smh
Jesse Rodriguez Jr. Aayyyyy 💯💯💯
Daesung or bust
He dead leave him alone
He is literally the only logical choice.
Seems nobody can be wolverine (in the eyes of the public) other than the that famous Australian guy lol
Funny since Hugh in his younger days was frequently described as a young Clint and the ideal choice if they ever remade Dirty Harry.
We already HAVE the next Wolverine, her name is Laura Kinney!
It’s amazing.
Dude can’t act for shit.
Caleb Israel Hardin
Nope
I vote we don’t bring in a new wolverine unless they rebuilt the entire fox universe.
and fuse it with marvel….
Amanda
I’d rather he got into bringing back spagehetti westerns personally.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. The man with no name.
Do these actors realize the hate their gonna get by simply replacing hugh jackman…?
I can’t deny with his look he would be legit and I never thought anyone could replace Hugh, but this changes my mind
Nope.. Hugh Jackman it the ONLY Wolverine.
wolverine needs to be short and grizzly, stop putting these tall good looking dudes in
Have these “Actor wants to be specific Superhero” campaigns ever worked?
Well, besides Ryan Reynolds who totally put in the work and waited a decade for it to happen.
yes it has
He’s too pretty
Shouldn’t there be a movie and casting call first, or is it shoes before socks these days?
Some big shoes too fill there
If his dad was his age and had the muscles ..he’d be a good wolverine.hes got the attitude down.
If they make another wolverine he needs to b in the suit for the better part of the movie
No no no no noooooooooo
David Sosa
Im good with that
I really wish Harvey Keitel was 30 to 40 yrs younger or even Charles Bronson.
Daddy Clint would have been the perfect Batman too.
NO THANX WE HAD ALREADY SOMEONE WHO DIDN’T FIT THE WOLVERINE LOOK AND PERSONA,,,,,(TIME FOR A COMIC ACCURATE LOGAN)….
GREAT CHOICE, since his father was originally the model for Wolverine and some of the original writers wanted him for a possible film back in the day!
He’s got the look but does he have the chops?
So would I
or someone who could act maybe
Please stop
Tessa Davis I bet you’d be alright with that
No too pretty boy.
Pleaae oh please oh please! He’s the ONLY good choice
No thanks not untill he’s had some more acting lessions
Nooo
He’s dead….the rise of X23 has begun. Stick to the comics
He looks like too much of a pussy to be wolverine. He’s just a pretty boy with a beard.
Listen up, Dickhead. You sit your ass down and give us some time to mourn. Show the man some damn respect. Fuckface.
I would like to be wolverine lol
Can we get Comic Book accurate 5’3″ Wolverine?
No he doesn’t look like him
You better beef-up…and learn to act.
Nah. I think Tom Hardy would be awesome.
No more wolverine! It’d finished!
Move on to someone else ffs!
Nope…
Please no.
