DEADPOOL MOVIE

[jye4ever]

I would love to see a short, stocky Wolvie as he is in the comic, but I wonder if Fox would go for that since Jackman has set the mold that the future Wolverine will need to fit into. Much more important than any of that, though, is his personality and fighting style. Jackman had his moments, but by and large was a pretty traditional good guy. A big teddy bear of a character, who wasn't genuinely frightening and unpredictable as often as he should have been. Also, mask and something other than a leather biker suit or jeans/wife beater.

Give it to Netflix.

Hugh being Wolverine goes beyond the screen. The great person he's been to the fans and the role model he has become is something that is not common in Hollywood. It will be near impossible for the next actor to play wolverine to embrace it as vocally as Jackman, care so much for the fans and show honor and pride in carrying the torch.

Gonna miss Hugh, but I think his passion for the role mixed with people knowing it's his last, may give us one of the best comic book films of all time.

Nah, it will be average at best.

I personally don't care what an actor does beyond the role. It's nice that Jackman showed appreciation for the character but if he would have sucked I would have wanted him replaced. Whoever they cast next, I don't care if he's makes it clear he's doing it for just a check, if he gives great performances like Jackman did, I'll be happy.

Yeah, I'm with pturtle. Particularly in the case of the Fox films, where Marvel has distanced itself from those properties, isn't allowing much merchandise, etc. If that's the approach they are taking, then I don't see a strong reason to appeal to kids and the public in the way that you would expect RDJ and Evans to do. Instead, let them focus on making good movies, period. But that's usually my approach when I think about actors, which is why I can still enjoy Tom Cruises's many excellent performances/films despite his wacky religion and personality outside of movies.

I hope the next Wolverine actor has average talent, is a total ********* in real life AND that the new movie has a crappy looking trailer. Don't you agree pturtle?

 

[jye4ever]

What a fantastic idea!

 

[Khev]

Michael B ********* is....WOLVE4INE

 

[RIDDICK]

It's perfect time for them to make a joke about Hugh Jackman from that leaked script and shut every casual pseudo-fan of modern Wolverine.

Anakin has been more brutal than Wolverine.

And he has to be black!

And he has to be black!

Why not. Actually looks pretty badass.

"How do you like your ribs?" *slice-slice-slice-slice*

Blades.

If he had an afro they could call him Woolverine.

I just hope it's an unknown and not some flash in the pan choice. The portrayal should be be a cantankerous Canadian alcoholic that is short and has a lot of gross body hair.

Hopefully we can get Sabretooth to stick around for more than one film and let the rivalry build.

Yea I'm a bit scared they might try and get a young pretty boy to replace Hugh.

What's up with that one kid they're apparently eyeing for the role? He shouldn't be baby faced, he's got to be at least or closer to 30. Logan is supposed to look like a 40 year old man, but I understand they want a long tenure for the role like Hugh did.

Oh that wasn't serious, Egerton said he'd love to play Wolverine but even he knew he doesn't have the look. It was just a playful interview

Oh good, I didn't really follow the story

I think the best thing they can do is go in a completely different direction and reinvent the character with a new look and personality to avoid any comparisons with Jackman. Have this version be more silent, more in touch with his animalistic side, and unpredictable. As far as the look, less groomed, give him fangs, and Wolverine should not be in style like a hipster. I thought he was way too in trend with his fashion choices in DOFP.

Would be great, but again, I'm not sure how willing the studios would be for that. It's a common problem where something becomes popular because it's edgy and different, companies try to take advantage of that popularity, and in the process water down that thing and take away what people liked in the first place. As a result, it doesn't have the appeal that it really could. If we got a full on, classic Wolverine in the films, I think audiences would go nuts for it. But studios have to have the balls to put it out there first. The apparent decisions being made regarding Deadpool are a good sign, though.
