Who could replace Hugh Jackman as Wolverine?

Hugh Jackman has dropped hints about possibly leaving the X-Men franchise. Who could be Wolverine?

Hugh Jackman, or as I like to call him, Logan. The actor dropped some hints saying that Wolverine 2 might be his last X-Men film. I hope this isn;t so as I enjoy him as Wolverine and he will simply step away for a while and let other mutants get the limelight like some fans speculate. Other fans speculate he's leaving for good and couldn't be happier. In any case, here are a few actors that could possibly replace Hugh Jackman in the films (but not in my nerdy little heart). 







Choic#1 : Jon Bernthal


















If you seen Wolf of Wall Street then you know he can pull off a tough guy look. Bernthal has an edge not many actors have and that's versatility. With a few tweaks Bernthal could possibly play Weapon X. 

Choice #2 : Dougray Scott


















A fan favorite choice of the unsure, Dougray can pull off the loner vibe perfectly without seeming like a douchebag. Dougray is a choice I see around reboot (quitters!) fancasts all the time and I can't say I'm not impressed. The claws and hair he might have trouble pulling off though.

Choice #3 : Karl Urban


















Another reboot fan favorite I see around. Karl Urban has been in great films such as Star Trek, the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Riddick. He can no doubt play a no-rules loner badass. If the franchise ever got rebooted (whic hI pray doesn't happen) he would be my choice for Wolverine. 


Who would you like to see as Wolverine? Do you even like the fact that Hugh Jackman may not be Wolverine anymore? Do you feel he's just stepping out of the way for a few movies?

I personally hope he doesn't get replaced/recast. I do however don't mind if Jackman sits a few movies out to let other mutants get some limelight. But he should come back. Only time I feel he should be replaced is if they do Old Man Logan.

I hope no one, in my eyes Hugh has become wolverine as much as Harrison ford is Indiana Jones, you cant just replace icon characters like this, The general audience thinks of him as wolverine and i am a huge fan of his wolverine.

I could definitely see Jon Bernthal or Karl Urban as Wolverine. Joel Edgerton could make a good Daredevil.

The only reason anyone has ever suggested dougray Scott is because he was originally cast 15 years ago and most comic fan are just that incapable of thinking outside the box.

Tom Hardy hands down as the new Wolverine, if they were to ever re-boot completely the X-Men series then Tom Hardy would be my pick as Logan/Wolverine

Karl Urban, Jon Bernthal or Joel Edgerton

Tom Hardy is an over rated pick in casting for films and he would not suit Wolverine or Snake(Escape from New York reboot).
