Though Hugh Jackman hasn’t hung his claws yet and he was recently spotted in the Deadpool 3 trailer that is going to release in 2024. This revelation left the X-Men fans puzzled as they wanted Marvel to cast someone new and who better than the Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe? Talking about the “secret role” there has been a hint that suggests that the 34-year-old Harry Potter star might get to play the role of Young Wolverine in the highly anticipated movie Deadpool 3.
What Made The Fans Think That Daniel Radcliffe Is The Perfect Choice For Wolverine
Rumors regarding casting the 34-year-old English actor as the next Wolverine were so strong that even the star himself couldn’t ignore it. Last year October during his appearance on The View he was asked about what he thinks regarding his link to the character Wolverine and the Harry Potter star denied it by saying.
“This is something that comes up every so often, I think because in the comics Wolverine is short, so every so often they’re like, ‘Who’s a short actor?’ There’s never been any actual truth to it.” he added, “Every so often I get bored of answering the questions sensibly, so I just make a joke like I did the other day, and that sort of has reignited the rumors of it, but there’s nothing going on.”
However, in recent times things have changed and right now it looks like he is all set to play the “secret role” for the upcoming movie Deadpool 3. The two factors that lit up the fire of rumors were both his scene from the TV series Miracle Workers and a sudden confirmation from a trustworthy Twitter handle. The scene from the TV series Miracle Workers highlighted the Wolverine-lookalike physique of the 34-year-old English actor which made some fans call it an act of audition for the role of Wolverine.
Nothing is sure as of now, as there hasn’t been any official news either from Marvel or from the X-Men franchise, and it is completely based on belief. On the other hand, the old Wolverine has returned, and he hasn’t spoken about stepping down any time soon. So, all the fans can just hope for the rumors to get true, and we might get to see Daniel Radcliffe as the new Wolverine.
