12 Actors Who Should Play Wolverine Next

7. Aaron Taylor-Johnson

After appearances in both Avengers: Age Of Ultron and two Kick-Ass flicks, Aaron Taylor-Johnson qualifies as something of a veteran of the genre, but he's never had a role he can get his chops into as well as Wolverine.

Though the Englishman started with more clean-cut roles (even in a film as outrageous as Kick-Ass), he has blossomed into a more interesting character actor more recently, taking on more challenging roles. And you can see from his recent work - particularly in Nocturnal Animals - that he suits darker, more explosive material.

He'd suit an agenda by Fox to introduce a more leading-man-type Wolverine while simultaneously catering to the demons of the character in a darkly charismatic way.
