Will Daniel Radcliffe replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine? Here is what he has to say

Actor Daniel Radcliffe has addressed rumours about him replacing Hugh Jackman in the superhero series ‘Wolverine’. During a Vanity Fair lie detector interview with his ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ co-stars Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez, the actor highlighted why he had got the buff.

‘Yes. I got buff because I am obsessive, and I want to… You’ve seen my parents, they’re like insane fitness people. So that’s just been passed on. But no. No Wolverine. Flattered, but no,’ said Radcliffe.

How the rumours started

Fans were surprised to see Radcliffe bulked up in the Season 4 finale of ‘Miracle Workers’. His amazing transformation fuelled rumours about him starring as Wolverine.

Other rumours about Radcliffe

During the interaction, Radcliffe highlighted other insane rumours that he heard about himself.

‘That I had the [UK Special Air Service] walk my dogs. That I had special beer brewed for myself by monks in a monastery in Belgium,’ said Radcliffe.

‘That I used to get my assistant to hold my scripts in the mirror so I could read it while I was having makeup done — even though that doesn’t make f—ing sense because I wouldn’t be able to read mirror writing. There’s a long list,’ the actor shared.

Hugh Jackman’s work front

Hugh Jackman is all set to play Wolverine in ‘Deadpool 3’ which is scheduled to release in May 2024. He will star alongside Ryan Reynolds in the upcoming movie.

Recently, Jackman parted ways with his wife Deborra-lee after being married for 27 years.

‘We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth,’ said Hugh and Deborra in a statement to People.
