The anticipation for the new Wolverine actor goes on! After embodying the character Wolverine for a couple of decades, Hugh Jackman has confirmed that he will not reprise the role in the upcoming projects.

The Photoshop Will Definitely Turn Your Head At It
Recently, a digital artist with a handle name @JPH Photoshop, took to Instagram to share an amazing piece of artwork. The art featured Tom Hardy in the role of Wolverine/Logan. The actor stuns in a black and yellow contrasted outfit exactly like the comic character. The most catchy part of the picture is the signature mask of Wolverine which was missing in the Fox version of the character.

Tom Hardy is not at all new to comic books and superhero movies. His creative acting skills include the intimidating Batman villain Bane in ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ opposite Christian Bale and the titular character in Sony’s Marvel franchise ‘Venom’. Fans are now anticipating more and more to see him play with his claws.
What Does The Former Wolverine Have To Say About Tom Hardy?
Tom Hardy is one of the best phenomenal performers of all time. Fans are pretty much sure that he will be killing it if he gets a chance to play Logan. But the interesting fact is, that fans are not the only ones who think this way. The man who brought Wolverine to life, thinks the same way. Back in 2015, Jackman noted in an MTV interview that he wanted Hardy to be his successor.
“I’ve been asked the question a lot and I’m always like, ‘I don’t want to make it too easy on the studio to replace me,’” Jackman said at the time, ahead of the release of his final movie in the role, Logan. “I’ve still got one more to do. I’m sure they’re already talking about it, that some actor out there they’ve already said, ‘Shhhh… keep it quiet, but we want you next.’ He’s younger than me for sure, I think Tom Hardy would be great.”
