Why Tom Hardy Would Be A Perfect Wolverine Casting
Tom Hardy would be an inspired choice to play Wolverine in the MCU’s upcoming X-Men Reboot and next. At 5ft 9in, Tom Hardy is still taller than Marvel Comics’ Wolverine’s 5ft 3in, but the casting would help mitigate some of the criticism earned by casting the 6ft 2in Hugh Jackman in the role of the short mutant. Known for his often gritty, tough and hardened roles in the likes of Peaky Blinders, Taboo And Mad Max: Fury Roadamong others, Tom Hardy has proven his ability to deliver the gruffness and rough-around-the-edges nature of Wolverine.
The one problem with casting Tom Hardy in the role of Wolverine is the fact that he currently portrays Eddie Brock, the host of the alien symbiote Venom, in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe. Hardy’s Venom is the most popular aspect of Sony’s often-missing live-action Marvel franchiseHowever, despite this, 2024’s upcoming Venom: The Last Dance is expected to be his last movie as the deadly protector. If that’s the case, the door could be open for Tom Hardy to take on a new superhero role, and Wolverine would be a fantastic choice.
Henry Cavill made a cameo appearance as a Wolverine variant in Deadpool & WolverineBut the charming former Superman actor is not expected to reprise the role In the future of the MCU. Instead, Marvel Studios is speculated to completely reinvent Wolverine after Hugh Jackman’s final departure, perhaps following a suspected soft reboot of the MCU after Avengers: Secret Wars. Tom Hardy’s previous tough roles, shorter stature and superhero experience make him an inspired choice for Wolverine In the MCU.
